GREATEST DANGER FROM CHINA

Subject: Greatest danger from China - ‘not border dispute, but threat to democracy’ Dear Veteran Greetings Sub:- [(i)- Border dispute is not greatest danger from China (ii)- China longing to see the end of democracy in India (iii)- Indians can no more take democracy for granted (iv)- India not in a position to try another government (v)- If NDA fails, 2014 may be the last Parliamentary elections] Dear Sir India on Saturday reacted sharply to a new Chinese map that shows Arunachal Pradesh and parts of Ladakh In J&K, as part of China. It is a traditional, routine and meaningless response from India because, as I suggested in my earlier letter that - “[ Unlike political dispute with Pakistan, the dispute with China is legal and which is not a rocket science to understand and resolve. India should ask china to constitute a Judicial Commission in which India and China both should nominate (say) 15 experts each of international law especially related to border disputes under the chairmanship of UN General Secretary or any judicial authority on international law, acceptable to both India and China]”. But India is neither trying to resolve Indo-China border dispute nor to understand the real threat which China poses to India as explained below:- (1)- China not only has the potential of finishing democracy from India but also has a dire need to do it, as explained:- (i)- I live in Rajasthan too (my native State) and in May 2008 during Gujjar agitation under the leadership of Veteran Colonel Baisla for reservation ( which had already claimed the lives of ~ 70 Gujjars by that time), thousands of Gujjar had stopped most important Delhi - Mumbai railway route for ~ 3 weeks by sitting on railway track at Pilupura (about ~ 30 K.M. from our house at Sri Mahavirji District Karauli). Then came a news / rumor that Naxalites were camping in Morena (M.P.) - Dholpur (Rajasthan) Chambal ravines and had sent a message to agitating Gujjars (who were supported by Gujjars from North, West and Central India too, by sending Gujjar Leaders from these parts of India in this agitation) that Gujjars could join hands with them, and Naxalites would ensure that justice is done to Gujjars and to all. It created almost a panic and heightened debate amidst people, administration and political class especially due to the fact that Rajasthan has longest border with Pakistan and Naxalites entrenched in these new territory of India with the support of Gujjars and others, would have changed the entire economic, political and strategic landscape of India. May be due to other reasons, some meaningless compromise took place between Government and agitating Gujjars and agitation was called-off immediately. But the main point is that if aggrieved people especially across India [which will be the case if NDA government led by PM Modi fails to remove huge unemployment / underemployment (~ 50 % ) from India and which is destroying the lives especially of youth], then these aggrieved majority of Indians makes a deadly mix if they join hands with Naxalites (who have ideological and other affinity and links with China and have presence in ~ one third of India). (ii)- China which has already become world power No 1 according to GDP ( in PPP terms), is bound to attract more enemies than friends especially from powerful Western world (USA & its European Allies). With its economic power China can develop even cutting edge science & technology to equal the West. But democracy is one thing which keeps China at great disadvantage. But out of four major human blocks (Christian, Muslims, Chinese and Hindus), only Christians have stable democracy. Muslims still have uneasy relation with democracy (especially after failed ‘Arab-spring’) and if Hindu majority India can be weaned away from democracy then it will give tremendous political advantage to China in the interest of retaining its world superpower status. (2)- Indians are living under a delusion that if present NDA government under PM Modi fails then Congress / UPA or 3rd or 4th Front will come in power in future. But in view of above, Indians are naively taking democracy for granted. Though it is too early to make appraisal of PM Modi’s performance but what has happened in last one month and which has already made political commentators, media etc to term present government as UPA - 3, there are highly likelihood that Modi’s government may prove to be beneficial for already privileged class of Indians but as far as removal of unemployment (for economically humble majority of Indians) is concerned Modi’s government does not generate any confidence. In a nutshell, if PM Modi does not change his course fundamentally in the interest of providing job guarantee to every jobs seeking working age adult (without which democracy has no meaning) then 2014 may prove to be the last Parliamentary elections and Indian democracy would be the thing of past & Indian history (thanks to China).
