The great Siachen sellout
This Govt is bent upon destroying the nation !! India never had any intentions of occupying other's territory. Why does India need to pull out of Siachen ? If the neighbor doesn't have enough man-power or resources to maintain its position, let him pull out. He can be well assured that India would not try to cut a misadventure which the neighbor is known for doing all the time.
Why do Mr Singh the PM and the security advisor are hell bent to solve other's problem ? This is utter non-sense.
Please read the column by Dr Subhash Kapila on rediff.com. He also pointed out how Nehru gave away Aksai Chin and hid the fact for nearly 8 years:
"Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, oblivious to the crucial strategic significance of Aksai Chin (North Ladakh), gifted it away to China, a Himalayan blunder that India still rues. Nehru hid the fact of the Chinese annexation of Indian territory for nearly eight years, and later justified the loss by describing Aksai Chin as a desolate area where not a blade of grass grew."
Who did he think he was - landlord of India ? Is India his own for donating to others ? Later his daughter, Indira the PM did her part when she donated an island (Katchatheevu) to Srilanka. The Indian Congress will only be happy to continue this legacy.
There is another interesting quote from his book by Nixon:
The pages of history are littered with the ruins of countries that were indifferent to erosion of the balance of power. Losses on the periphery where a country's interests appear marginal, never seem to merit a response or warrant a confrontation with the enemy. But small losses add up. Expansionist powers thrive on picking up loose geopolitical change. When it comes, it usually takes place under the worst possible circumstances for those on the defensive.'
--Former US President Richard M Nixon, quoted in my book India's Defence Policies and Strategic Thought, A Comparative Analysis, to highlight how Indian policies ignored the balance of power concept, and how India was inclined to marginalise its far flung peripheries.
