Tone the rhetoric down on arunachal
India has nothing to gain by entering into a war of words with Beijing on Arunachal Pradesh. Action speaks louder than words. India considers Arunachal Pradesh to be an integral part of the country and allowed spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhists, the Dalai Lama, to visit that state. If Beijing wants to take offence, it has the freedom to, but no offence is meant. Beijing, on the other hand, is building a so-called corridor of peace with Pakistan over territory that is part of the Jammu and Kashmir occupied by Pakistan. Its pro-Islamabad policies include refusing to identify Pakistan-based terrorists as terrorists and trying to keep India out of the Nuclear Suppliers Group. Beijing is also trying to worm its way into the rift it imagines has been created in New Delhi’s relationship with Kathmandu. India and China are both members of the Brics grouping of large emerging economies and bear the responsibility of serving as the locomotives of world growth, by continuing to grow fast, even as the rest of the world falters. Further, both have taken on huge commitments to make their growth green, fighting climate change not only for the sake of the world but for protecting their own huge domestic populations from the murderous effects of air and water pollution. In their long history of civilisational coexistence and give-and take, there have been active hostilities only over a short period, post-Independence. Sensibly, both countries have decided to settle their differences over where precisely their borders are through negotiations rather than through the use of force. Neither can hope to coerce the other into seeing one-sided sense. Chinese media have dangled the bait of a heated verbal exchange. Refusing to bite would be the right response for New Delhi and the Indian media.
