Nobody knows how one looks.To see how you appear you need the help of a mirror. Keeping this axiom in mind its worth while to learn as to how our biggest competitor China looks at us. One can dismiss the Chinese point of view as mere rhetoric, but as Chanakya has said never dismiss the enemy's assessments out of hand.The Chinese institute of strategic studies has compiled an article on India. As per this study the Institute think tank feel that India is ripe for disintegration- something akin to the erstwhile Soviet Union.
Firstly the Chinese feel that the Hindu religion itself will be part of this disintegration.With a caste system that exists in no other religion and being perpetuated for the next 500 years by the government a division in society is already created( with the blessings of the Indian political leadership).Secondly creation of linguistic states leading to a clear cut demarcation with so called sons of the soil theory, the concept of India is sadly eroded. Again India is surrounded by states inimical to it from all side-Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri lanka and China. Add to this the insurgency in 30% of Indian territory in 6 states led by the Maoists the siege of the Indian nation is from within itself. What next? Chinese feel that India can only prosper once its broken up into smaller states .
All this is pretty disturbing.But is it all propaganda? The Indian government has created and perpetuated the caste system with the congress leader Moily even recommending a census based on caste.In addition the Maoist insurgency exists in vast tracts of India where the central governments writ does not run.The North East and Kashmir are joined to us with massive force .Will they be with the mother country if the Army is withdrawn ? why do we have anachronisms like article 370 and reservations based on caste.? Lets have some introspection and hope and pray that a person of the caliber of Fredrick The Great or Bismark will rise in India and lead us forward.
