Counterpunching China |
|||||||

Arguably Joe Louis was the greatest world heavyweight boxing champion of all time. He was an outstanding boxer and a lethally heavy puncher. His specialty was to counterpunch his opponent. When an opponent hit him Louis did not defensively block the blow. He would deflect it, dodge it and simultaneously counterpunch the opponent to unbalance him. After that would follow his lethal knockout blows. The Ministry of External Affair should take a lesson from Joe Louis.
Indeed we do. China has developed extensive road and rail networks along our entire border with strategic intent of enabling swift troops and tanks movement against India. After that to warn India against constructing a road on its side of the border is brazen impertinence. The Indian government has refused to cow down. Home Minister Mr. Rajnath Singh has advised Beijing to eschew threats and sort out matters through talks. The Home Minister said that no power could dictate terms to India which is a superpower. This is good as far as it goes. It does not go far enough. It amounts to defence against China’s verbal attack. What is needed is a counterpunch to silence Beijing.
Does anyone have doubts about what the people of Arunachal Pradesh consider to be their “due interests”? Their resolve to stay with India is beyond dispute. How does Beijing then dare to warn India about a road being constructed in Arunachal Pradesh? India should give a counterpunch. |
