Chinese- Dragon,
In International Politics and Diplomacy a holier than thou attitude is all it takes to undo years of hard work. The Indian Government unlike the system you have out there in China is ruled by Indian citizens.
Unruffling feathers particularly when issues like national integrity is at stake is something that any political party dreads and that is exactly the reason they will try not to do that.
As far as balls are concerned, diplomacy and politics are a different ball game. Governments can grow "Balls" as and when required; or let me put it this way, "Public pressure in India is tremendous and we have a fiercely independent media which is not going to take anything at face value".
If they do not have the balls today they can grow a "pair" when their existence is at stake.
And please do not drag Kashmir into every issue. You have a far worse off equivalent in the western part of your country.
Indian Government's stand notwithstanding Indians firmly believe it is an illegal occupation of an entirely different race and the cultural genocide the Chinese have been doing in Tibet. The millions of Tibetan refugees in India and all over the world are living examples of that.
Indians strongly believe that India borders two of the most restive areas controlled by PRC.
One of them is Chinese Occupied Tibet (Tibet Autonomous Region)
