#1 this is interesting, the marxist indians should be shown the door post haste, all these loons work for the international. if a more communist entity is involved, the most communist entity is supported by the least....like a man law.

#2 It has been alleged that the former Indian Foreign Minister Natwar Singh, known for his anti-US stance, who lost his job over the UN Iraqi Oil for Food scandal (Volcker report), raised money for China during his student days, even after India had been attacked.

When Japanese companies expressed interest in increasing their manufacturing in India, the Indian Communist leaders made a trip to Beijing. On their return, the Japanese factories all over India were hit by labor unrest.

The Congress Party has outsourced foreign policy to their regional allies. The Communists in Bengal run the Nepal policy, which means accomodating their terrorist Maoist brethren.
The Tamil DMK runs the Sri Lanka policy which means the Tigers have free reign.
The local Punjab Congress supports a farcical peace process with Pakistan.

#3 Again I wonder if China and India are going to migrate into a demographic war. That is, a low tech war involving draftees and small arms, whose purpose in the final analysis is to kill off excess young males.

It is hard to picture as many as 30-50 million young men with no future, no prospect for marriage or to have employment. But the amount of destruction and devastation they can create if not controlled, could be worse than the plagues of Egypt.

Both sides could decide to keep their professional armies in reserve, and create a conflict in empty and hostile terrain, with battle lines shifting back and forth no more than 50 miles in either direction. Using only rifles, machine guns and artillery.

And this only assumes a slaughter to reduce excess males without females. If they agree to eliminate vast numbers of peasants, they might wish to cull 300 Million to a half-billion men.

At that scale, it would take a choreography of the two nations leaders to keep it from getting out of control. They might even choose to use biological weapons limited to their armies.

#4 Easier and cheaper to send them overseas (middle east etc) as cheap labor for construction and other manual jobs.
