The Chinese dragon blows fire and brimstone. India and China were having their 13th round of Sino-Indian border talks; and just as the talks were in progress an article has appeared in China captioned ‘If China takes a little action, the so-called Great Indian Federation can be broken up’ (Zhong Guo Zhan Lue Gang,
www.iiss.cn, Chinese, August 8, 2009). This political strategist is the sounding board of the political leadership and he often expresses the views of the powers that be. And Lo and behold this article was reproduced in several other strategic and military Web sites of the country and by all means, targets the domestic audience.

Claiming that Beijing’s ‘China-Centric’ Asian strategy, provides for splitting India, Zhan Lue has argued that New Delhi’s corresponding
‘India-Centric’ policy in Asia, is in reality a ‘Hindustan centric’ one. He mentions that ‘local centres’ exist in several of the country’s provinces (excepting for the UP and certain northern regions) and in the face of these potent local characteristics, the
’so-called’ Indian nation cannot be considered as one having existed in history.

According to the article,
if India today relies on any thing for unity, it is the Hindu religion. The partition of the country was based on religion. Stating that today nation states are the main current in the world, it has said that India could only be termed now as a ‘Hindu religious state’.
It goes on to attack the secular character of India by adding that Hinduism is a decadent religion as it allows caste exploitation and is unhelpful to the country’s modernisation. It has described the
Indian government is facing a major dilemma with regard to eradication of the caste system as it realises that the process to do away with castes may shake the very fragile foundations of the consciousness of the Indian nation.
Arguable, the only country that can ever hope to compete with China and hope to oppose its hegemony is a strong India. To make its presence pre-eminent, it is in China’s own interest to join forces with different nationalities like the Assamese, Tamils, and Kashmiris and support the latter in establishing independent nation-States of their own, out of India. And to camoflague this nefarious end, it is stated that it is interest of resurgent Asian geo-political scene.
In particular, the
ULFA (United Liberation Front of Asom) in Assam, a territory neighboring China, can be helped by China so that Assam realises its national independence.

The article has also felt that for Bangladesh, the biggest threat is from India, which wants to develop a great Indian Federation extending from Afghanistan to Myanmar. India is also targeting China with support to Vietnam’s efforts to occupy Nansha (Spratly) group of islands in South China Sea.
Hence there is need for China’s consolidation of its alliance with Bangladesh, a country with which the US and Japan are also improving their relations to counter China.
It has pointed out that
China can give political support to Bangladesh enabling the latter to encourage ethnic Bengalis in India to get rid of Indian control and unite with Bangladesh as one Bengali nation; and in case the same is not possible, then there is need to create at least another free Bengali nation state as a friendly neighbour of Bangladesh. This would emasculate India; dampen Indian expansionist programme and threat aimed at forming a ‘unified South Asia’.
The punch line in the article is to split India.
China can bring into its fold countries like Pakistan, Nepal and Bhutan, support ULFA in attaining its goal for Assam’s independence, back aspirations of Indian nationalities like the Tamils and Nagas, encourage Bangladesh to give a push to the independence of West Bengal and lastly recover the 90,000 sq km territory in southern Tibet.

Wishing for India’s break-up into 20 to 30 nation-States like in Europe, the article has concluded by saying that if the consciousness of nationalities in India could be aroused, social reforms in South Asia can be achieved, the caste system can be eradicated and the region can march along the road of prosperity.
According to Chinese analysts China in its own interest should join forces with different nationalities like the Assamese, Tamils, and Kashmiris and support the latter in establishing independent nation-States of their own, out of India.
An article has appeared in China captioned ‘If China takes a little action, the so-called Great Indian Federation can be broken up’ says that the ULFA (United Liberation Front of Asom) in Assam, a territory neighbouring China, can be helped by China so that Assam realises its national independence, rediff news reports.
The article has also felt that for Bangladesh, the biggest threat is from India, which wants to develop a great Indian Federation extending from Afghanistan to Myanmar. India is also targeting China with support to Vietnam’s efforts to occupy Nansha (Spratly) group of islands in South China Sea. Hence the need for China’s consolidation of its alliance with Bangladesh.
It has pointed out that
China can give political support to Bangladesh enabling the latter to encourage ethnic Bengalis in India to get rid of Indian control and unite with Bangladesh as one Bengali nation; if the same is not possible, creation of at least another free Bengali nation state as a friendly neighbour of Bangladesh, would be desirable, for the purpose of weakening India’s expansion and threat aimed at forming a ‘unified South Asia’.
