Claude Arpi tries hard to mock the lack of

democracy in China and what he describes as the lack of the rule of law in that country.

Claude Arpi plays to the gallery of jingoist middle class Indians who imagine in their ignorance that they are rightist in their politics and that what they imagine as good for themselves is unquestionably good for all Indians - including for the segment of Indians (which forms more than 75 % of the population) that is desperately poor, nearly poor or belong to what economists describe as the lower middle class.

But Claude Arpi does not have a word to say about the state of democracy in India in real terms or the state of the rule of law in India.

Despite the lack of a multi party system of democracy, China has forged far ahead of India in the last 65 years than India has (both the nations are 65 years old in their present form) in terms of true people friendly policies, programs and their efficient implementation. And despite the hyped-to-the-skies pluralist electoral democracy that Indians copied from Britain and continually make a song and dance about, the great majority of Indians wallow in abject poverty, illness, ignorance and are often subjected to extreme levels of exploitation by the privileged and corrupt minority - the landed and rich classes. The contrast between the living conditions of common Chinese and common Indians has always been stark.

And the state of the rule of law in India when compared to that in China is nothing to write home about either.

Nothing sacred about British manipulations in 1912
by velamur anand on Sep 17, 2014 12:15 PM

Claude Arpi can say what he likes, but the facts remain:
(a)      In 1912, Tibet , he says was “independent”. Well, India was not. Tilak then was in jail in Mandalay, serving a 6-year term. Savarkar had just then gone to Andaman Cellular jail to commence a 50-year sentence. So, we Indians have no reason to celebrate anything done in 1912 in Lhasa by jackboot-wearing British bullies. Tibet, too, was only independent of everything except British intrigues and manipulations. Whenever China was weakened, foreign powers would enter Tibet and, naturally, China cant accept the outcomes of imperialist intrigues. That said, there is not much issue with the Mcmahon Line, as China accepted in 1960, precisely the same Mcmahon line as the boundary between Myanmar and China. China’s posture is, in all probability, only a bargaining chip for a final resolution, as they are more interested in the Western Sector, where there is no Mcmahon line , but they want Aksai Chin.
(b)      Claude Arpi is right to see the Dalai Lama’s presence in India as the main issue. That has an unfortunate history, as it is rooted in India’s acceptance of the tendentious and motivated missives of one Hugh Richardson of the ICS (Indian Civil Service, which Nehru had said was neither Indian, nor civil nor a service !) who continued even after independence as Political Officer of India in Lhasa. He kept plugging the line that “it was independent since 1912” and kept feeding Sir

Actually the chinese communist party doing the role of Genghis Khan, to acquire more and more land. They have already captured Greater Tibet and a part of Mongolia. Their intention to acquire the parts of India, Burma, Laos and Vietnam. Not only land, sea also. They may change their party name as "Acquire Party of China".

Timing of XInping Visit to India is a masterstroke for China
by pratap bhanu on Sep 15, 2014 03:18 PM

Timing of XInping Visit to India is a masterstroke for China in attempt to reduce the gain(India might have taken post Japan visit).
Shri Doval/And Our loved PM should not have allowed Xinping to visit india at this juncture..A non-trust message will go to Japanese and Neither china nor japan will trust Indians.This is my view.Anyway govt has great leaders/brains and they can think better than me for India.

In a sense, both sides are wrong. China which forcefully annexed Tibet should have no moral ground to ask the lands in Indian side. They should settle the present ground as international border. Otherwise India should not give up on Chinese claim of Tibet. I hope that china has more stack than India in resolving the issue.
