China could do a kargil on India , warns IDSA

2011 is not 1962 and i dont think India will ever go for a negotiated settlement if at all the Chinese makes such an adventure . India will push the chinese back the way they did in 1999 against pakistan . Chinese were engaged in a short war against Vietnam 'to teach them a lesson' , vietnamese fought back and India is no vietnam . It is very unlikely that the chinese would do something like that neverthless we should be prepared for every eventuality and make all the necessary strategic countermoves .

Some of the strategic countermoves that India made recently were the ones in south china sea . This move by India into south china sea and it's aggressive pursuit of defence and strategic relationships with the chinese enemies in the hemisphere have rankled the chinese and they have been using some psy-war techniques to ward off India . India has not cowed down so far , we haven't retaliated to the chinese snub of Visas but we have made some less conspicuous strategic moves by engaging into strategic relationships with Vietnam , Japan and various other east Asian countries that have issues with the chinese hegemoney . We are also cooperating more aggressively with the U.S through various defence pacts .

while i dont think that the chinese will involve in such an adventure , we should be prepared for any eventuality as we had a strategic collision with the chinese and we cannot underestimate their reaction to such countermoves by India . But it will be extremenly foolish of China to do any such adventure ...
