The week has been dominated by the news of numerous Chinese incursions into Indian territory in Daulat Beg Oldi (DBO) sector in Ladakh. The Chinese army penetrated 10 kms inside Indian territory and sent up camps and tents there. There were even reports of violation of Indian airspace by Chinese helicopters. India has once fought a very fateful war with the Chinese in 1962 and should have been better prepared but alas but not surprisingly, the situation seems to be the same. A case of history repeating itself!
George Washington once said the best way to ensure peace is to be prepared for war which in a nut shell means that one should always Be Prepared. If one is well prepared then the enemy would also think twice before indulging in any mis-adventure. In case of the present Indian government which has been fire-fighting on all fronts especially facing the wrath of the common as well as the opposition on its involvement in unprecedented number of scams of magnanimous proportions and mismanagement, devising a deterrent for the enemies of the state seems to have been the last priority; not that the previous regimes were any better.
Preparedness defense wise, the lesser said the better, so I will just concentrate on a socio-economic issue. The Indian side of the porous Indo-China border is still under developed and the villagers lead a life of unimaginable hardships in the inhospitable terrains. The Chinese side is a stark contrast. Tarred roads have been developed and the villages have become prosperous, thus creating a big divide which the common folks on the Indian side must definitely envy, alienating them more from mainland India.
If the decision makers of the country had thought a little about the country instead of only filling in their own coffers, then things would have been so much different, because by failing to plan, we have planned to fail. All members of Blue Caramel should always keep this in mind that it is always immaculate planning followed by quick execution which will reap dividends for us both personally as well as professionally.
