Chalo ek bar firse...(Ind-Pak-China -Triangular series)

Its a very cute & romantic song from a hindi movie (& I've forgotten its name as usual) but the song goes like Chalo ek bar firse ajanabi banajaye hum donno...
A sad saga of GF BF seeing each other (so to say) for the last time- pretty usual stuff in hindi masala movies. But the song seems to have become a theme song for recent so called diplomatic engagement between India & its lovely western neighbor..........(u've gotten very smart in geography..how come you spelled the name correctly without a fraction of a second??) In recent months I've actually stopped reading anything on the India's diplomatic front (if at all there is any). This is out of frustration seeing our diplomats having lost the spine & flamboyant attitude.  I am not sure why Indian politicians always display a rather soft (I wish to call spineless) attitude when it comes to making tough calls. Why we always hide behind the terms like decorum, politeness & matured outlook kinda things. Why our national interest is always given a second priority? I am not among the advocates of "Go for war & go for the kill all the time" (but you should also know that attitude & must be able to use at appropriate time) but I do feel that if your opponent is damn arrogant & is hell bent upon defying your every "Cool it, man" requests, there is no point in telling him the importance of  peace, love & liberty.
Having put this background, I now turn back to those lovely neighbors. It is very clear & sure that- no matter how Pakistan views it- Indo-pak ties (or Kashmir issue for that matter)- can NEVER be compared to Israel- Palestine clash (or Gaza strip tug of war). I don't know why there is such a big issue on Kashmir being raised by Pakistan when it is occupying large part of it under the banner of Azad Kashmir!! If at all there is any issue (& thanks to India's 1st PM), it must be returning the PoK (what Ind calls to Pak's Azad Kashmir) back to India. But that doesn't at all seems to be on cards(....not even on it's backside bottom line..!!) Rather there are reports of China building a rail link through PoK. It is meant to increase China's dominance in the sub continent rather than a support for Pakistan's economy. This is a 21st Century big game being played to jeopardize India. in the last century, USSR & US played the game & both got wounded- no matter how they try to hide it. But it was mighty USSR which got knocked out shattered in pieces. This time it could be India!! There are already ethnic groups fueling violence on the basis of caste & religion. Having it's mighty arms spread around Indian Ocean & String of Pearls, India will be an easy prey to China. One can argue about how no two countries having McDonald's went to war in the Post- globalization world, but what if China gets India on the floor with a strong arm of geopolitics & asks it to remain under its tows? It's not the fear that has generated out of '72 disaster, it's the disbelief in Chinese character. It is very certain & nobody should make any mistake about it that, sweet Chinese smile breaks under pressure!! They can do horrendous things to get themselves on top & they do not believe that there is enough room for India & China to grow together. Don't go by what Xinuha publishes, see their actions..military & diplomatic especially. Why it raises Tibet issue all the time with Indian delegates when India has declared that its a Chinese territory way back? Why it does notorious things in Tamang & Aksai Chin? There is a huge deficit in terms of military might between Indian & Chinese & India hardly stands any chance against it's lovely trans Himalayan neighbor. Don't take this as personal opinion, Indian rare admiral recently said this in a national press conference..!!
If Indian diplomats don't wake up on time (like IndiGo crew members) it will be too late & they may have to sing the song "Chalo ek bar..." on Beijing highways to earn bread & butter..!!
