“If I am not for myself, then who will be for me? And if I am only for myself, then what am I? And if not now, when?”

The Chinese angle

How am I supposed to react when I see the headlines stating that our "darling" neighbor moved in 10 kms from the international border. The other one this time.

I am furious. Even though I live in the central part of my country. Or even if I've never been to that part of my country. And even if it's a fact that I will never be able to own any part of it. Even with money.

It's the damn tendency. Sorry for my words but seriously what is with this unending thirst for someone else's land. And for what? Did it even belong to them ever to get it back? Coz I think I can digest 10% of that way of thinking. It's what Israel did. It's like sacking Karzai because Mauryas ruled once.


I know... I know, we can hardly do anything with the over confident , God-complex neighbor of ours that sometimes I feel India shouldn't have stuck with this continent altogether. Why Couldn't we be with Oceania and criticize these idiots from the far south!


We have a history. We have a whole damn history of men fighting over land. It's called World War- Part I & II with a whole lot of spicy twist named Holocaust thrown in. Hello! Wasn't that included in their tiny syllabus?

Seriously it's not even about the land. It's about the discipline. It's about innovating yourself and expanding your horizons through your brains. Japan, their natural enemy, with less than half of the land owned in comparison, is technically much more advanced than China. That's what I am talking about.

Tibetan should rather burn up the politicians there rather than themselves. I'm not sure it would help anything but at least they would have some satisfaction. Hell.

I won't state absolutely alien examples. Let's take Shivaji Maharaj. He won back forts. Won back a land and named it Swarajya. But all that was a Marathi-speaking area ruled by people who came from freakin' Persia. He did not go and try to fight Chingiz Khan.
                      That's the Indian Gene. You get what's rightfully yours. And you STOP.

This unending need to hurt someone, to take what's not yours, to rule, to inflict pain to people who haven't even hurt you, is a very Sadist way of living, and even more surprising to evolve as a better Ruler, a better Human being.

It annoys me to my core when some urban, fast food eating waste of an offspring, stands up and says he wants to spread "Peace". Look around idiot, is it peace that you need? Or is it love?...because everyone of us say We love someone or something so much in our life, where on the contrary, Love is the only thing in scarcity. Everywhere.

And as for China, you want land right?..go take Siberia. No one lives there anyway. And fight your communist-turned-democratic brother your level. Of course whom you don't even consider that way.
