Discussion on Tibet

This is an interesting conversation with Mr Sree Iyer on China's occupation of Tibet. The Q&A session was very varied and raised issues of significance. The discussion is based on my article @

    The real point of the discussion is to discuss geostrategy. The proposal on the table is for India to withdraw recognition of Tibet as part of China and support secession in Tibet.

    China would not like that at all. However, an enormous opportunity would emerge. If India supports Tibet secession, then China can support Khalistan secession.

    India does not have capabilities like the US did in parachuting weapons and fighters into Tibet throughout the 1950s before the 1959 uprising. India could just offer rhetorical support. However, not only are China's capabilities superior to India, the situation in Punjab is more volatile with lots of discontented people from farmers to youths. There was an RPG attack on the intelligence headquarters in Mohali on May 9. China could repay India for Tibet secession by fueling a Khalistan insurgency. It would be more dangerous than all the insurgencies going on India combined. A violent Khalistan insurgency would consume the attention and resources of the Indian state.

      Much ado over nothing. CCP has been backing all kinds of BIF forces since the 50s and will keep doing so as long as they have territorial ambitions on their neighborhood. The fix for this is to push them out of the neighborhood , i.e Tiber. This requires intent more than capacity.

Don’t Burn the Last Bastion by Lt Gen P R Shankar (R)

By
‘Sir, will China invade us?’  ‘We hear China has increased activities on the border’. Chinese consolidation activities on the LAC have prompted such reactions and fears. Lot of such inquiries from citizens within and outside India. Why?  Bodies floating down Ganga, mass graves, lack of oxygen, medicines or hospital beds, botched vaccination program, uninterrupted work on Central Vista - all these have eroded our political capital immensely and seeded such doubts. Our national institutions are being compared to ‘rottweilers’ in the media. Economy? Unemployment figures and stock markets – both rattling up. Strangest combination. Rich getting richer and poor getting poorer. An ominous divergence which bodes ill. Leadership? Kis Chidiya ka naam hai bhai? National level paralysis in responding to the second wave. Erosion in comprehensive national power.  Many have never experienced India being so weak. Nor did I for that matter. This frightening experience ...

THE CORONA COMBAT - SECOND REVIEW BY LT GEN P R SHANKAR (R)

By
This is a follow up of the first review @  https://palepurshankar.blogspot.com/2020/03/the-corona-combat-review-of-situation.html General We are now into Day 10 of our lockdown. Midway point of Phase 1 of the battle with the Chinese Virus. Approaching Phase 2 shortly. Critical times ahead. Time for a review of the situation. The PM has spoken to us today. He has just told all of something very important. India is with Indians and Indians are with India. Though we are isolated we remain collected in this fight. Have faith. Economic packages have been rolled out for the poor and for taking care of the common man as well as the industry. At this point of time, I guess that is what the government can do, and it has done that. If the need arises more will be done. I am confident of that. At least for the needy. Overall, we are winning it where superpowers, wannabe superpowers, have been superpowers are losing / lost it. The collective response of India has been simply fantas...

POLITICAL CRUMBLING OF THE LAST BASTION by LT GEN P R SHANKAR (RETD)

By
                                       The politicization of the last bastion of India is well and truly underway. The beeline of Armed Forces officers in joining a political party is just the latest milestone in this journey. More will follow. That will be to the detriment of national security, in the short run. Very definitely. In the long run. It is debatable since the nation is into uncharted oceans. At the outset I must state, that this is an apolitical analysis of a symptom for which I do not have answers. There is a view that unless Service Officers join the political platform, there will be no redressal of the imbalances our Services and nation face. That is agreed to. However, for that to happen, induction of retired service personnel into politics must be across the political spectrum and not confined to one party alone. If it is only one party which is attracti...
