    Perhaps the Brahmaputra catchment areas on the Arunachal side is the reason why China is so hell bent on grabbing it ?

      China only wants one thing in AP. The Tawang tract. It is home to a town of the same name with an important Tibetan monastery. The Dalai Lama could reincarnate there.

      Possession of Tawang and subsequently having a pet dalai lama is likely a means to an end. The end goal may not be the dalai lama but the possession of these catchment areas. A pet dalai lama eases the path towards that for the Chinese but he would be more useful to them to provide legitimacy to their occupation of Tibet.

    Washington Post: China's summer heat wave is breaking all records — The unprecedented heat wave that has engulfed China this summer has dried up rivers, wilted crops and sparked forest fires.

    China is experiencing an unprecedented natural disaster. China infrastructure is showing awe inspiring resilience because the disruptions to electricity are minimal considering the scale of the difficulties with hydropower resources.

    Within the next 5 years due to climate change most of India will experience a heat wave and drought of unprecedented magnitude (much worse than the heatwave this year). There will be diesel inflation, food riots, power outages for days, hospitals depleting all oxygen reserves, and communal fighting between Hindu and Muslim.

    A natural disaster caused by climate change in China is the last thing India would want to celebrate because it is a glimpse into the future. Anyone with foresight knows what is coming to India within the next several years....

    Dec 23, 2021 — According to data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, China is expected to have 69% of the globe's maize reserves in the first half of crop...

    Extremely impressive preparation by China. A 70 year drought in half of the country and food inflation in 2022 will likely stay low!

THE POST BALAKOT REVIEW BY LT GEN P R SHANKAR (R)

By
The Pakistani FM to BBC: War would be suicidal. Pakistan has already started negotiating with a gun to its head! Welcome home Wing Commander Abhinanadan. Well done. You flew into the Valley of Death and survived.  India is proud. Sincere condolences to Air Marshal Waseem Ud Din on the loss of his son Shahaz Ud Din under most unfortunate circumstances. He was incredibly brave to continue his mission when others had turned around.   Paradigm Emerged A lot has happened since Balakot. Some in focus some out. Some hyped. Some diffused. Time to sum up the situation and see where things are heading. Militarily it is called Review of the Situation. I will do it journalistically so that the intellectual western media understands it. They might or not buy our story. Incidentally it is not a story. It is not for sale. This is real live action. Nuclear exchange receding. Not ruled out.     A fundamental paradigm has emerged. India’s fight is against terror. The D

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 fantastic
