China is an economic beacon for the world. It supplies goods and services at cheaper rates to the have-nots of the world. Thus letting the global poor share in its prosperity. It has shown respect for neigbours sovereigneity and territorial integrity. However, the pretentious and imaginary paranoia of India against a “potential attack by China,” is just a red-herring to gain arms and sympathy from US and NATO nations. According to People’s Daily Online states that:
“India has already become the world’s largest arms importing country. India will spend30 billion U.S. dollars purchasing advanced arms by 2012, including 126 advancedfighters for its air force, Russian-made aircraft carriers and ship-borne weapons for the navy, and main battle tanks and anti-tank missiles for its land force.”
Indian Chanakiya embedded mind is setting the stage for potential conflict with China. Indian Strategic Think Tanks are War Gaming, a potential India-China conflict. It is ironic that India’s War Planners have forgotten, the India-china War of 1962, when China smashed the Indian Army to smithreens and its generals ran away “bare-footed.”
But, India is intoxicated with pride of newly acquired wealth, which is floundering on a mad arms purchase spree. Unfortunately, no matter how great arms purchases India does, Pakistan will vanquish its conventional forces with the devastating power of Ra’ad battlefield ballistic missile.

China could do Kargil on India, warns IDSA^
China could do a Kargil on India ‘to teach India a lesson’, warned strategic affairs think-tank IDSA, adding it could be a ‘limited war’.
The limited hostilties could be confined to a specific section of the border, limited in duration and amenable to a negotiated termination, the Insitute for Defence Studies and Analyses(IDSA) said in its report.
Projecting conflict scenarios between the two Asian giants, a report titled ‘A Consideration of Sino Indian Conflict’ by Ali Ahmed said, “The lower end of the conflict at this level could be a Kargil-like situation. China’s aim could be to teach India a lesson so as to influence India’s rise before its capacity building underway acquires traction.”
The report warned this “could be a limited war confined to a specific section of the border or LAC, limited in duration and amenable to a negotiated termination”.
The Kargil hostilities were triggered by infiltration of Pakistani soldiers and Kashmiri militants into positions on the Indian side of the Line of Control(LoC) in 1999.
Ahmed warns at a higher level, China could indulge in a “territorial grab” by entering an area such as Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh.
“At the next rung, it could be a more ambitious bid southwards up to its claim line.
Lateral or horizontal expansion of conflict from one theatre to another is the next step, with the conflict engulfing one or more of the four possible theatres — Ladakh, Central Sector, Sikkim and Arunachal,” the report said.
The think-tank said in view of India becoming better prepared in future with its capability-development programmes, it could engage China’s “hegemonic attention.”
