Who knows, the moment of truth in Ladakh may also augur for a giant leap toward a boundary settlement with China in the fulness of time.

Photograph: ANI Photo The 9th round of talks at the army commanders' level between India and China resulted in a breakthrough that since achieved the successful disengagement of troops on the north and south banks of Pangong Tso in eastern Ladakh. This in turn provided the ambience for the 10th round of talks , which would presumably address disengagement elsewhere in Ladakh as well as patrolling issues in Depsang. The breakthrough at Pangong Tso was a good thing to happen -- as also its efficient implementation by the two armies 'in a phased, coordinated and verified manner.' It must be savoured as a net gain on the road to peace. But, curiously, the opposite seems to be happening. The reduction of military tensions in Pangong Tso has become a ... » Learn More about Time for India, China to give peace a chance

P Rajendran speaks to the leading authority on China's border issues to find out why Beijing is so angry about the Tibetan leader's visit to Arunachal Pradesh. C hina expert M Taylor Fravel believes the issue of the Dalai Lama's visit to Arunachal Pradesh, in the long-term, will probably not worsen relations between the two countries. "I think it will probably be overblown. Obviously, China is going to protest. I don't think it will have a long-term effect, but in the short term it will become a point of friction between China and India," Professor Fravel, who is widely considered to be the leading authority on China's border issues, told rediff.com Asked if he felt the Dalai Lama would be advised to tone down political rhetoric, Professor Fravel replied: "I suspect he doesn't even need to be told by the Indian government."

"The Chinese government will not see ... » Learn More about ‘China worries Dalai Lama’s reincarnation will be in Arunachal’

Video Player Close BEIJING, Feb. 25 (Xinhua) -- China and India should firmly follow the right path of mutual trust and cooperation between neighboring major countries, and not go astray with suspicion and distrust nor fall back on a road of negative retrogression, Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Thursday. Wang made the remarks in a telephone conversation with Indian External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, stressing that the two sides should maintain the strategic consensuses reached by their leaders. During the phone call, he noted that the two countries need to properly handle the border issue, so as to prevent the bilateral ties from trapping into a vicious cycle because of it. Border disputes are an objective reality and need to be attached adequate attention and taken seriously. However, the border issue is not the whole story of China-India relations, and should be placed in a proper position in their relationship.

It has been obvious that the Sino-Pak axis would conspire to weaken India's sovereignty in Jammu and Kashmir, if not wrest Kashmir, says David Devadas.

Photograph: Danish Siddiqui/Reuters The government finally appears to have got some measure of the severity of the crisis that faces India. It took the feisty Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti to finally point at the Dragon in the room. Mehbooba announced on Saturday, July 15, morning that China was 'intervening' in Kashmir. Tragically, it was not until China used the Doklam standoff to explicitly state that it could intervene militarily in Jammu and Kashmir that the country's vast web of think-tanks, security analysts, intelligence honchos, officers, and politicians figured out that this was possible. It is tragic because China's role has been clear since it stated ... » Learn More about The Dragon in the Valley
