Struggling between India and China is ongoing with the Dalai Lama's Tawang visit. Under the guise of the Dalai Lama's visit, China's political, military and diplomacy is under way for the same old war. In the last two decades, due to its modernization, China has more or less adopted the status quo of peace-stability on the border. In this, the practice of Indian Army is only an exception in May, 1987, when it has shifted from this policy for some time during the tension. Since the peace agreement has taken place in 1993, there is relatively peace over borders. However, in India, it was deemed necessary to find a military solution to deal with the threat of China.
George Fernandes was the only defense minister who, in 1998, had the courage to say openly. China has been testing the willpower and capabilities of India on the Line of Actual Control after the confidence gained by modernization of the Chinese Liberation Army i.e. PLA. After Narendra Modi became Prime Minister in 2014, his active foreign policy and strengthening the economic relationship, from his point of view, that the doubts that existed beforehand in the relationship will eventually be resolved and when relations improve, then the two countries will be on the border issues. Will be ready for negotiation with emotion. It was also believed that frontier issues will be subordinated to trade. After the meeting between Prime Minister Modi and President Xi in 2014, the relations which showed signs of sweetness, some things bitterly bothered them. Even before Prime Minister Modi's ruling, China did not see India as equal partner in Asia. Although the economic relationship grew on the path of progressively stronger, but due to this attitude of China, political relations have always been stuck in the vortex. Recently, in China, the sentiment is bolstered that India is desperate to join a group of countries which have primarily been targeting China. He never considered India's reasonable concerns on his aggressive attitude and partnership with Pakistan. Actually there is a huge lack of trust since 1962. Whether there have been relationships with Russia in the past or currently with America and Japan or Vietnam, these relations of India have made China anxious.
Modi's attempts towards boosting confidence with the Chinese leadership were very successful, but with President Obama, his innate relationships became a threat bell to China. It only underlines that it is very difficult to maintain the multilateral relations of mutual benefits, especially when there are special cases of a particular country. It is important to go through the much-informed China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and especially its Gilgit-Baltistan, which will affect the strategic relationship of this region to a great extent. Regardless of the economic and military compulsions of China, however, the sensitiveness of India can not be underestimated on the major strategic initiatives that go through a disputed region. This will strengthen the strategic alliance between Pakistan and China. Diplomatic indications from China are not very enthusiastic. Regardless of China's stand on the proposal to prove Masood Azhar in a UN Security Council or a nuclear supplier group i.e. barriers to the entry of India in the NSG, these devious movements of China have become a negative image in India.
India's vocal attitude in strategic corridors, and in October last year, the spirit of strategic independence expressed in the last round of the Dalai Lama's Tawang tour is also being taken into consideration. The Dalai Lama has been invited by Arunachal Pradesh's BJP government in a cultural program. His ten-day tour is also longer than usual trips. On this, China used its official media as if it had always been used. At the same time, through his official spokesman, he also made a statement that it could deteriorate the future picture of India-China relations too. India's attitude appears to be justified, as the CPEC, Masood Azhar and NSG case made it defensive. In the oppressed world, he can not afford to appear in a lurking situation. Should India expect any other reaction from China to political-diplomatic alternatives? The reason for the understanding is that nothing should be done so that the situation is bad.
There is always the possibility of a military retaliation by China, but its implication and the final outcome must also be taken into account, because without the goal nothing is achieved with the strategy. Will he have the courage to attack the army and for what purpose? India's national pride and international stature are no less. The Indian Air Force, unlike the tremendous capabilities, is no less than anyone. The action taken on the border to downplay India can not be guaranteed to success and it will be in the process of provoking a fierce struggle. China is famous for its strategic-strategic viability. He must understand that the visit of the Dalai Lama is not to tease China but to give messages to the people of Arunachal. This is a matter of mere perspective.
