Now Indians have a problem with the Colombo Lotus Tower...

[Dr Gupta]

India, Sri Lanka Pledge Closer Ties

 

[Donatello]

Makes me wonder, is there a country in the neighborhood that Indians don't have a problem with?

 

[utraash]

so what will you do about it ?

Nothing thoda nakhre vakhre or kya.....

 

[Dr Gupta]

The last i looked at the map, Pakistan was also a IOR nation and India dont seem to have much influence on her...or maldives for that mater.

But you do not have key islands located of the coast of the mleccha straits do you? nor do you have Coastal Surveillance Radar Network or a dedicated South Asian GPS system?

 

[duhastmish]

so what will you do about it ?

what and ifs and but are all assumptions empty words.

Tell me in case they do not listen to Indian threatening tone and continue with such projects what will Indian strategy to counter it? SL is NOT Bhutan even Bhutan showed you teeth so thinking in terms of some financial curbs wont do

we bully them!

That's what india is doing under pressure from Tamil political bodies. And when they allow china to port their sub india is cry baby.

Now indian behaviour to Lanka is extremely unfair. It has taken so much toll not just on lankan but india as well.lost a bloody prime minister but hum ni sudhrenge.

 

[Spring Onion]

They can continue with any project they like as long as those do not pose a direct threat to India's security concerns and we have made our feelings pretty clear to them.

what about this tower? what are you going to do about it ? after all even you claimed it is posing a security threat to India

 

[Dr Gupta]

I do not know if it is a threat or not, it's not even been built yet

 

[Azizam]

Wasn't there was a maoist terrorist attack recently? And these idiots are threatening other countries in terrorism. Indians stopped supporting terrorism in Sri Lanka after they realised that the same separatist movement could spread into India and if India lose one state then the rest will break away like a chain.

Nationalist ideology is more dangerous than religious we have lost half of our country to this and India is under constant pressure from Tamil nationalists

As if China has the influence on Taiwan ?

Chinese are businessmen, they work for their profits and the activities they do are for their economy.

We don't have to do anything, West has exploited many countries in the past and China is also doing that.

Chinese economy GDP growth rate is less than 4 % and is expected to be low for the coming decade, they cannot provide jobs because of higher wages.

Only way china can keep on growing is to harness the resources of other countries, reason why they have started this ambitious project in the name of Maritime Silk Route and Silk Route.

One has to remember that China is not a Technological power, China is a country that grew as a power because of manufacturing. If we see the patterns west relied on R & D and China relied on manufacturing result is China grew more than western nations.

Same thing is expected to repeat in this decade, China is loosing its manufacturing edge and other nations are gaining it, China wants to harness and use it to its advantage.

India has no objections if those respective countries want to trade with China. India has its own plans and it may seem a bit late when compared to China but we know we can do better than China in this decade and the decades after that.

China wants to dominate USA in economy, the main enemy for China is West not India. They have already pushed China into a corner on various issues they have their plans.

When you say you who are you talking about? The topic was Chinese building listening posts in Sri Lanka, so what are you gonna do about the Lotus tower? Its almost finished....if its a listening tower as you say it is, what are you gonna do?

How you know it's almost finished? and what can I do about it? I am not in the Indian military or intelligence services.

But we do have a fine man in Ajit Doval and I feel safe when he is there

Nationalist ideology is more dangerous than religious we have lost half of our country to this and India is under constant pressure from Tamil nationalists

You lost half your country because you committed war crimes and genocide on your own people

Dude that doesnt answer my question. You said the nations of the IOR are under indian sphere of influence and will always be, but Pakistan isnt much under your sphere of influence and is a IOR nation. Pakistan is far more under Chinese influence the indian.

Why then you guys have problem when the present President befriends India ? When Rajapakse was sucking up to China like a bitch, you guys never complained ! You guys let chinese subs in your docks, allow their listening posts on your land, still you say you are not vassal state of China ! If Rajapakse continued SL would have become a Chinese over seas territory, and you would have celebrated

One side of the issue is that we Sri Lanka prefer Chinese better than Indians. Indians AFAWC are arrogant pricks. Best example is the Indian cricket team. So why we need to become Indian over seas territory when there are much more suitable choices else where?

BTW present president of SL is a puppet. We don't care about what is does. He has come to end the presidency. Mahinda Rajapaksha is about to become the all powerful PM soon.

Pakistan is a different case, it is a door way for the external force to put pressure on India.

Until 1990's it was the USA, now it is China. But the dominant power is India in this region and we know how to protect strategic interests.

No one is asking you to work with India. Go with China ..... we have no problems.

India has plans to build ports in South and A&N islands for trade purpose in the name of Mausam. We also have plans to build tourism industry.

Chinese can develop your Island and make profit from that. we have no issues.

People often imagine more than what they are. You can also give access to Chinese sub marines. India is rising and we know how to take care of little irritants like China in IOR.
