It
is a bit difficult to understand the attitude of China towards
India. On the one hand it offers hand of friendship and on
the other lays claim to Indian land. Recently, China in remote
area of Sikkim, on the international border in Finger Tip
area, has staked claim refusing to accept the marked boundary.
China has threatened that the heaps of stones of border mark
would be removed. It is noticeable that earlier it has claimed
that real line of control of Arunachal Pradesh belongs to
it. Now, continuing its intruding activities officially in
an area of Sikkim, China has started disturbance at the borders.
In February, it has tried to construct road, but after protests
from India it had to stop the road construction work but now
it is bent upon removing mark stones. However, according to
the experts, Indian Army is capable to defend this area but
India needs necessary steps keeping an eye on the neighbour's
activities. According to defense experts, China wants to send
indications about its real intentions by staking claim to
Sikkim areas. This attitude of China should be answered at
every level. Tibet-Sikkim's Silk Route has been opened on
Monday for bilateral trade after three weeks delay but the
first and second crew of Kailash Mansarovar pilgrimage was
stopped without any reason. Programme of third crew has not
been changed. On Thursday bilateral talk of armies on Nathula
pass ended without any result. In this meeting taking the
issue of Finger Tips area the attitude of China was not only
opposed by Indian army officials strictly but also warned
the Chinese soldiers not to have eyes on Indian border. China's
attitude has been imperialist since beginning. Whereas, in
2003 it had agreed that Sikkim is part of India. However,
ignoring the present attitude of China would not be prudence.
Keeping in view the activities of China the international
community should think over it seriously. Whether it is matter
of human rights in Tibet or claim of Indian land or deployment
of submarine, China always plays truant and when it is objected
it threatens India. The world community should think over
all these issues.
