Letter From New Delhi: Clash of the Tigers

Summary --

child slavery--stop

the indians, promitive as ever, are not blaming china,. but these primitives will not talk about child slavery in india's rich

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/murder-reveals-plight-of-in...

also, please, indians, stop the child marriage, its is simply disgusting.

when you indians become a civilized nation, only then will china talk to you as equals. now chila treats you are inferiors. chinese officals come to india, and humiliate india. good, china is ding the right thing. but now china must assert its control over kashmir and parsh.

china will civilize india, just as the british and muslims did.

India a slum nation

the ignorance of indians is simply shocking. in india, 50% of indian children are malnourished, and yet the media goes crazy when an indian student is supposidely harmed by china? but in reality is was the incompitent slum nation of india that was responsible for the student!

the indians should end child slavery, end wife burning, and cow worship, and then try to confront china.

even when indians were attacked, for a reason, in australia, and ignorant indian media went crazy. but the ignorant, uneduicated media seems not to care when indians are being killed in india

indias ignorance and arrogance has made it the worlds largest slum.

perhaps VS Naipul, nobel prize winer, was right: india is not capable of self rule????? read an Area of Darkness

Also, check out the iq of india. not compare india's iq with china's.

this must explain everything. china needs an all out invasion of india, like it did in 1960. teach these rambling, ignorant indians a lesson

Look to Pakistan for the Problems

While India and China are sure to butt heads form time to time we should not confuse cause and effect. Issues like border disputes and visas are not causes of security problems and competition. They are effects.

Where the problem lies is in Pakistan's decline, and possible collapse. China and Pakistan have balanced India in South Asia for some time and China, correctly seeing the problems facing its ally, has decided to preempt Indian aggression towards Pakistan.

If Pakistan collapses, chaos will ensue in South Asia.

The Indian Media and Indian ruling elite are doing what USA wants them to do and suddenly the interest of USA is to use India to get some concessions with regard to Iran and North Korea.Indian elite especially the military elite must take seriously the dichotomy between the two and work for a strong Air force and Missile deterrence which is INDEPENDENT of western powers.
