Only thing is it's being analyzed countless times by myriad experts , we have many short-comings but there is no point being unduly apologetic about them especially when the thread-topic is about Chinese violating Indian territory ( geo-strategy)
I know, that's why I have said "sorry for being Off-topic" at the end of my previous reply.
Actually I went off-topic to reply(logically) to the self-proclaimed "patriots" like IndoCarib,mautkimaut who called me traitor, false flagger etc.
If India has issues with Black money , corruption ,poverty , illiteracy and all the social evils emulated by you above ...so do many other countries including China , Pakistan etc .Each have their own internal problems and ways to deal with it and arguing about the scale of these issues can be futile.
Arguing about the scale is not futile(for Indians), if the scale is enormous(one of the topmost) andever-ingreasing.
ofcourse this is not the right thread.
The poster in question was giving a reply........
similarly, I was giving a reply too. There is no need to insult others when they are not like minded.
..........what steps India should take to deal with growing Chinese arrogance.....
To deal with chinese arrogance, India need to actually develop (as rapidly as China if not more) rather than just bragging that it will be a superpower in 20infinity.
......Don't see what a lot of pseudo-intellectual self-depreciating facts and acknowledging one's negatives bring to a situation like this. Its what Arundhuti Roy types do.
If you don't even acknowledge your -ve points, then how will you turn them +ve.
"Self-criticism is a better way of development that false bargging/boasting"--- Swami Vivekananda
So rethink about the notion of patriotism you have.
By being a "patriotic scoundrel" and ignoring your -ve points,you are actually harming your country
Your -ve points will remain for ever.
Simply by being a brave soldier, one cannot win a war, proper intellectual aid, planning is required.
Again, this is not the right thread to discuss such issues. (but I will always reply, if I get a reply)
