As a Chinese native, I’ve always believed it’s a misstep by the Beijing government not to have a good enough relationship with India. But I also understand why given the status quo. It’s getting increasingly important for China to keep up its good relationship with Pakistan, and China currently doesn’t have a strong reason to be relying on India strongly, yet. So that makes the paramount importance of controlling Tibet the dominating factor in the Chinese strategic mind. But I think things will take a turn for the better in the next couple of decades as India expands further as a consumer market and continues to sharpen its edge in technological services, to the point where Indian tech leader can start to take up market shares in China. That’s when we’ll have some fun, and lots of money to be made.

NehRU was a brilliant strategist.. Nehru actually invaded china when china was begging for food, taking advantage of weakened china caused by the famine of 59-62 that 30 millions died. Moreover, China had a big fallout with the soviet and India was still in the soviet camp. USA-Soviet was also distracted with the Cuban missile crisis. The Indian army was chased off, and china even manage to retake southern tibet that had been taken over by India.. However, the famine had a toll on china.. Being unable to keep it, they retreated. It was lucky break for India NeHrU was so terribly shocked by the emaciated china army which managed to overcome the strong well fed battle hardened Indian forces-, that he went into deep depression and gave up his conquering ambition after successful annexing nations for past 13 years. . No other Indian did any better. By the way , if china had planned the Invasion, they wouldn't have retreated. They were completely surprise at their victory in warding off the strong Indian forces. BUT No other Indian did better than NeHRU...

Such deep analysis of India's defence policy, it shows China sees India as the main obstacle in Asia (and even in the world) in its path to world dominance. Previous indian govt failed to realised this partly due to less assertiveness of China as China's focus was on its economy. Modi govt is now trying to do a china, passively content china and Pakistan with the help of US led anti-china axis (if you will) and focus on economy until we become, say, a 10 trillion economy.

The Chinese incursion actually served India well in ways that they did not calculate. Other than the punitive economic retaliation against China, it forced India to quickly start to augment and modernize its air force - including inking the Tejas deals and probably more to come, assess its ground based armed force mobilization, deterrence and modernization efforts, moving towards being self dependent, and, having done these in a short and squeezed timeframe, now given the Indians an impetus to focus on its naval dominance. Something India may not have contemplated doing in a short order. More power to the nation. Jai Hind!

@Carnivores if he is true liberal he would have clarified your reply but he can't because he is not a true liberal, he is librandu under liberal mask, can't save people like dhruv

[@adithyaadi1363]

@Carnivores yes you are true i dont even watch them bcz of their biasedness but i was pointing at string video not others i didn't liked bullying without any substance thats it.

Chinese have learned art of "Purva Paksha", are we?

[@suvonil_]

Pardon me, but what is the art of purva paksha?

[@sumitgaikwad8854]

Purva Paksha is ancient vedic technic of debating, in which one studies opponent in intellectually, and then reply.

"Defense into offense during wartime" basically what that means is that you have FOBs (forward operating bases) that in the event of a defacto or dejure war, have all the tools and capabilities to launch offensive military operations in their respective AOE (area of effect). That means usually that these FOBs are well fortified with supply lines to not just defend, but turn that defense into offensive actions as per requirements.

[@AyushJaiwal]

If I am not wrong, the Malabar exercises have been going on for a long time before this document came. So predicting Quad, as a grouping of like minded democracies isn't that big an achievement.

[@siddhantkumar1028]

Its no great feat honestly. A few students can prepare such documents about china, how the chinese have slowly been becoming more aggressive especially under xinping.

[@PrashanthSadashivan]

I think the Quad was first envisioned in 2007 or so, but couldn't become real as Australia withdrew, not wanting to impact their relations with China. Covid-19 changed that in 2020.

When Cholas had a strong navy between 9 to 13 ad, they were ruling the Indian ocean and had control over Malacca straight. Modern India should focus on strengthening the Indian navy at any cost.

India still punches way below its size. It is not even a regional power considering what is going on in Burma where India has no influence. India is not only a backward country, it’s a backward looking country deeply mired in it’s past and bogged down in settling old Hindu Muslim scores. China has moved on learning from it’s past & preparing it’s people to learn from past but focus on it’s future to become a leader in all technologies in 2049. India has had the misfortune of having poor leaders who can not see beyond their noses.
