10 indian blunders while dealing with China

India and China , likely to become superpower in future ; would control and dominate world politics in future . And ‘ where there is race of dominance there is conflicts and prestige ‘ . These two great nations will definitely be facing each other in upcoming decades . In last two decades China has already begun to act as world player .

Historical background

These two nations with extremely huge population started their development programs nearly at the same time . And at some extent they both maintained nearly same pace , but in last couple of decades Dragon geared up and left behind its counterpart India .

Ignorance and lack of far sightedness from Indian policy makers paved and weak approach towards China . Indian leaders since her independence always tried to pacify China .

The way Nehru and his government dealt with China sowed a seed of pacifying nature of indian policy against China for future . From Nehru to present Modi government indian policy toward China always remained mild .

In my opinion ,ten biggest blunders indian policy makers committed while dealing neighbor like china were :-

1. India’s silence on Tibet annexation : Not many of us are aware that at the time of independence india share border with Tibet and Sinkiang ( present day Xinjiang ) and not with main land China . Even indian policy makers never considered china as threat to its northern borders , but later in 1950- 51 Chinese army annexed Tibet and extended its border to northern india . Tibet turned India for help but indian establishment were completely at sea . It was not that india was without leverage but it lacked strategic thinking . Indian leadership by and large was under thrall of “hindi chini bhai bhai” facade and Decided to bury their heads inside sand instead of taking decisive actions .

2. Nehru’s faith on communist dictatorship of China who was totally expansionist and aggressive by its approach .Nehru and his government even tried to pacify Chinese Tibetan aggression by signing Panchseel and continously ignored its betrayal behavior .

3. Ignoring need of militarisation and army advancement , securing our northern frontier against China was never matter of concern for Nehru government which later resulted in losing of aksai-chin to china .

4. Rejecting Kennedy’s offer helping India detonate a nuclear device much before China did in 1964 . If nehru had accepted the offer , not only would have india tested the nuclear device first in Asia , but also would have deterred China from launching its war in 1962 and even Pakistan’s plan of 1965 .

5.Indian government always tried to pacify China and remained on back foot against China , Indian policy makers opted “wait , watch , pacify and defend ” policy against China .

6. India always avoided questioning and criticising China on world platforms. Whether its UN or world media india never criticised china .

7. Accepting ONE CHINA policy – India always been supportive towards chinese cause of one china . India never established official relationship with Taiwan , Tibet , Xinjiang and other disputed lands . In 2003 Atalji’s government accepted the Chinese policy which declared Tibet as autonomous ;Despite of the fact that PRC have already merged major part of Tibet in mainland China .

8. Indian policymakers and leaders failed in bringing more FDIs and boost manufacturing sector within the country . Indian economy focused on service sector and agriculture whereas China kept enhancing its manufacturing power and emerged as super economic power in entire world .

9. China has always been supportive and backing Pakistan since 1987. It supported Pakistan with arms, missiles , communication systems , and Kashmir issue . China blocked our entry in NSG , never missed a single opportunity in using veto against india in UN .

10. Our leader failed in keeping our neighbors in confidence and prevent them from becoming china’s economic puppet . China is strategically investing in countries around INDIA and in Indian ocean under scheme of STRING OF PEARLS . This investment is slowly making these weak nations around us chinese economic colonies , china may use these countries land in choking indian ships during future conflicts .

Chinese string of pearls and our diamond of necklace initiative .
