  1. What is happening now, incursions and excursions et al, between India and China has happened many times earlier; it is just that this time because of technology and increase in international interest on China, the game is being played out louder in the media. The fact is, nothing about LAC has really changed since 1947, as the exact line of LAC has never been agreed by the two parties. Using this as an excuse, China often tries to grab unoccupied territories (patrolled by both etc…) wherever possible and whenever it suits them, along the LAC. The primary intend is nothing more than to keep India on a leash and ensure it is not a competition in South Asia. It is also sad that two Nations, even after wars and lengthy talks, have not been able to resolve it for decades. This happens when one or both parties do not want a resolution. It is abundantly clear here as to who does not want the issue resolved. It is fallacious to expect that, this issue will get resolved any time soon. China has to be brought to the negotiating table, hopefully one day in the near future and define the IB (not LAC). It is imperative that we maintain a strong Defence Force and better strategic stance (not backing down) when we go to the negotiating table, China will win the day, if we as a Nation divert most of our energies here rather than on the economic and societal issues which are more fundamental and enduring to a better future for India. Unfortunately in a geo-political polity we can’t chose our neighbours. Like Snehesh (The Print) often says, War is not a solution while it can extend the problem.
