Originally posted by cataphract View PostThe Indian govt and army have been caught on the backfoot. The conflicting statements coming out of the govt, army and politicians have given them an air of incompetence. The very fact that the Chinese could pitch those tents under our noses in the first place was a public humiliation. Admittedly, the Indian media has made this into a circus, but the stain of being caught with pants down won't go away. Is that not a propaganda victory?
Originally posted by cataphract View PostSure, the IA won't be building bunkers on the frontline. But this drama will only speedup the infrastructure buildup in the rear - roads, airfields and such.

Originally posted by Officer of Engineers View PostNo. They overstretched their supply lines to the point that they collapsed and had to fall back to their original staging points. Two Indian army corps were already responding and there was no way for the Chinese to check them forward of their original positions.

Tibet was for the Tibetans to lose. Tibet was a tribute state to China and paid homage and tribute to Central and North Asian capitals, never to the south. Tibet never asked for nor did India ever offered Indian protection to that country. Hell, Husband sacked and looted that country but he never conquered it. Maybe he should have but since he didn't, Tibet was never India's to lose.

I guess delusional people are delusional"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?" ~ Epicurus

The cultural/religion POV is quite slippery. Follow the same logic on that wild wild wiki page, one delusional Chinese can argue all tea-drinking, rice-eating, firework-firing countries are a part of "Greater China".
But if it helps people sleep better at night, I am all for it.

cdude,
Why you have to be so witty? There is no political claim in that article.
From your link:
Greater India was the historical extent of the culture of India beyond the Indian subcontinent. This particularly concerns the spread of Buddha Dharma and Sanathana Dharma,[1] introduced by the travellers of the 5th to 15th centuries, but may also refer to the spread of Buddhism from India to Central Asia and China by the Silk Road during the early centuries of the Common Era. To the west, Greater India overlaps with Greater Persia in the Hindu Kush and Pamir mountains. The term is tied to the geographic uncertainties surrounding the "Indies" during the Age of Exploration.No such thing as a good tax - Churchill
To make mistakes is human. To blame someone else for your mistake, is strategic.

Answer: "Greater India"
I am here to help the "India lost Tibet" theory.

Originally posted by Officer of Engineers View PostBuddhism originated in India and Tibet is Buddhist ... though from an outsider looking in, there's no way traditional Buddhism would ever accept a living god.
But if Mormons think they are Christians, what stops Tibetan "Buddhism"?
