CHINA AND INDIA: COMPETITION OF CIVILISATIONS
China is a great and ancient civilisation, as is India. But, for thousands of years, it is China that has been culturally influenced, even dominated by India; the reverse has never happened. Chinese philosopher Hu Shi was only stating a plain truth when he said: "India conquered and dominated China culturally for 20 centuries without ever having to send a single soldier across her border." That is the deep impact the message and teachings of Gautam Buddha, and many other Indian influences, have made on China for over two thousand years.
From the boldfaced But by me above, we see it as well-known yeah, your d!ck is big, but mine is bigger.
Hu Shi is a renowned scholar, but did he forget about Confucius? What about Daoism that was originated in China and influenced the whole East Asia and beyond, and such that even South Koreas national flag is completely fell into the religions totem.
Indias absence of Chinese influence is not a sign of Indias greatness, but rather, it is a tragedy to India. A testimony of that is the effluent societies in East Asia are all have been deeply impacted by the Chinese culture: From S. Korea, Japan to Taiwan and to Singapore. No, not India.
How and why did that happen? No one could have said it better than Swami Vivekanand: "Civilizations have arisen in other parts of the world. In ancient and modern times, wonderful ideas have been carried forward from one race to another...But mark you, my friends, it has been always with the blast of war trumpets and the march of embattled cohorts. Each idea had to be soaked in a deluge of blood..... Each word of power had to be followed by the groans of millions, by the wails of orphans, by the tears of widows. This, many other nations have taught; but India for thousands of years peacefully existed. Here activity prevailed when even Greece did not exist... Even earlier, when history has no record, and tradition dares not peer into the gloom of that intense past, even from until now, ideas after ideas have marched out from her, but every word has been spoken with a blessing behind it and peace before it. We, of all nations of the world, have never been a conquering race, and that blessing is on our head, and therefore we live....!"
Let us put doubt on what come out from this big-mouth: the ever peaceful India. It is well know that from Ashoka of Maurya who cruelly killed so many, to current Indian leaders that heartlessly ignore million starved to death and religious violence, we see no peaceful India. Ashokas erection of his edits only happened after murdering of his 500 ministers, burning of enormous amount of women that said bad words against him and, among many other murders and massacres, a bloody conquest of Kalinga with groans of millions, by the wails of orphans, by the tears of widows, and is a thorough show of Ashokas hypocrisy. It is said that in the aftermath of the Battle of Kalinga the Daya River running next to the battle field turned red with the blood of the slain; about 100,000 Kalinga civilians and more than 100,000 of Ashoka's own warriors were among those slain.
Kalinga War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. You call it peaceful?
In mordent times, India was peaceful only during British suppression for hundred years.
The Chinese, like the Indians, have historically not been a conquering race; they too have been invaded and conquered; they too have survived the onslaughts. And, like the Phoenix, they have risen again. But this time, they are apprehensive. They are alive to the fact that religion-generated clashes of civilisations and cultures demand dumping of traditional tools of response. They have also learnt from the West that, in the changed global scenario, a nation cannot protect itself and its interests by looking within and fighting its potential enemies on its soil. Wars must be fought and won on enemy territory or the high seas. That is why they are furiously arming themselves to the teeth and seeking to dominate areas and countries well beyond their real borders; the more the padding, the safer the mainland.
In fact, the Chinese were great conquerors. Most of the times, they became conquerors when they were killed, or harassed by barbarians. Among names of those was Wudi of Han
Emperor Wu of Han - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, who even causes the name of the Chinese people Han. Some of them tried to conquer due to their false ambition, such as Yangdi of Sui
Emperor Yang of Sui - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia .
China is the only surviving civilization with continuous history, well documented and well written. To preserve this unique and only kind for the whole human being, China must arm to its teeth. And China must not invade other countries, like USA/UK/France had done and have been doing, unless China is invaded.
Above all, the Chinese can see that, for the first time in history, they have a real chance of becoming the greatest ever power on earth. And they are going full blast to achieve that objective.
That is where India comes in as a painful thorn. They know that India is still not interested in conquering any lands. They are aware that India will never impose its culture on them or anyone else in an offensive, exclusivist manner. They can also see that the India of the present is an underachiever only because it is trying hard to disown its own cultural genius and blindly ape the West.
China had already enjoyed the greatest power in history. First time in history? What a joke from a history-illiterate!
In addition, why China is power would put India in a painful thorn. Can somebody enlighten us the mentality behind?
We Indians have not seen it yet, but the Chinese know that whenever India wakes up and actuates its own potential fully, it can better China not just culturally but also economically and militarily. That is something that they dont want to see happen. That explains why they are trying everything possible to keep India shackled, even if it means temporarily befriending a culturally incompatible Pakistan, or teaching India a lesson, like they did in 1962.
This kind of remarks can only come out from some Indian dark mentality. A rich India had already benefited China in Tang Dynasty of China, why wouldnt it now? Unless you tell us it is due to modern Indias inheritance of British wicket system and evil thinking.
I dont want to comment the rest of the article any more as it ridiculously pretended to know Chinese culture and laughably saying China is Yang and India is Ying. The whole article, when running here, already goes beyond d!ck contest but that India is a victim of Chinese culture, and must rise against China to become a Yang.
So go ahead! Fool!
