INDO SINO Face Off

July 31, 2017 Share Like Labels: ba

The recent standoff between India and China at the Doklam plateau which lies at a tri-junction between the India, China, and Bhutan has gained much attention. It has turned into the biggest military stand-off between the two armies in years. There are many who even fear a war. The two nations have held on to their own stands even on the Johnson line and McDonald line which demarcates the territories of the two.

Johnson Line is where India accepts demarcation. It marks Aksai Chin as an Indian territory. McDonald Line is where China marks Aksai Chin as Chinese territory. There have been several instances of Chinese troops entering the Indian side and Indian troops entering the Chinese side. The offensive stand of China on Doko La (Doklam) and India’s strong warning in return, is the latest addition to the worries that spoil Indo-China relations.

But here the point worth mentioning is India's stance on China's advancement. This proves that India is not ready to get cowed down by a powerful & dominating neighbour. In the recent years, we have seen India has changed her years old way of facing these challenges in a defensive manner. If we relate this approach to our day-to-day lives then we will get to know that when we let our weaknesses take over the control of our life, we become weak at the life's front.

If you get bogged down by the tough situations in life then you will always remain on the back-foot. You need to take a tough stand against the adversities thrown at you by the life. If you face them with valour they don't seem so painful & long lasting. Adversities tend to diminish as soon as you take the charge in your hands & decide to crush them with your mettle. These exams are like tough problems like China & you need to stand tall against them like India's stand against China in the recent Doklam issue. It was back in 1962 when we were subjected to the worst defeat of our history in the hands of our neighbour.

Back then we were very weak & couldn't offer a tough resistance to the Dragon. But the equation has changed now. And the reason lies behind labour of all these years. India has earned this respect & credibility. So, folks, you all also need to work like this if you want to achieve anything big in life. Yes, that's true that you need to burn the midnight oil for achieving this position but that is necessary if you want to reach at the zenith. No failure in any exam should deter your confidence to make it big in life. Stand again like your nation did & this time stand tough & stand to win.
