I believe that many people will think that India is a very magical country, the magical brain circuits of Indians, as well as a series of strange operations and "fan confidence", is it difficult and funny? In fact, all this is due to our lack of understanding of "Indian thinking", and to understand all this, we need to read Nehru first.
"Englishman" with an oriental face
Prominent family. Jawaharlal Nehru, literally the ruby of the canal. Nehru was born in 1889 to a Brahmin aristocratic family in the Indian city of Allahabad. His distant ancestor, Raj Kaul, was a figure highly respected by the Mughal rulers at that time, and the men of the Nehru family were hereditary high-ranking officials during the Mughal dynasty, and they were the famous Menwang people at that time. In 1857, with the outbreak of the Great Indian National Uprising, the Nehru family fell into disarray. It was not until the generation of Nehru's father that he began to rise again by personal effort.
The Path of The Elite. Nehru was educated as a private tutor and at the age of 16 went to study at an aristocratic school in England. At the age of 18, he was admitted to the prestigious Trinity College, Cambridge University. At the age of 23, Nehru returned to India, joined the Congress Party, and participated in the struggle against British colonial rule and for India's independence. At the age of 34, he became leader of the Congress Party. Together with Mahatma Gandhi, Nehru led the famous non-violent non-cooperation movement, and the Congress party quickly grew to become the largest party in India. On August 15, 1947, India declared its independence and Nehru became the country's first prime minister.
Big country complex. To understand India, we must understand India's "big country complex". Nehru famously said that India, with its current position, cannot play a second-class role in the world, either to be a great power with a sound and color, or to disappear. India's "grand national complex" is deeply rooted and has profound historical and practical reasons, and it is natural to believe that it is the natural inheritor of the vast colonial heritage of the British Empire, and at the same time, the success of the independence movement and the superior natural conditions make it absolutely unwilling to be a second-rate country.
British-influenced "Indian Thinking"
The deep imprint of colonial rule. The history of ancient India was basically the history of being pressed to the ground by the foreign races in the north, and the unification of the country was never completed. Beginning in the 18th century, the British Empire gradually began its 200-year colonization of India. The arrival of the British caused drastic changes to the traditional politics and society of India, causing it to undergo a profound alienation from appearance to substance. While the British plundered brutally, they also completed the unification of India, bringing with them the capitalist system and the modern industrial base. More importantly, it has profoundly changed the Indian elite, and these people cultivated under the British education system not only do not hate the British, but are grateful and highly identified with the British culture and ideas.
Hegemonic ideology with Indian characteristics. Many people actually have a huge misunderstanding of the Indian way of thinking, and if you think that Indians are like us, they are of the Same Oriental race and oriental way of thinking, which is very wrong. The British have colonized India for more than 200 years, and they have deeply rooted the Western-style hegemonic thinking and bandit logic in the minds of Indians, who are The Orientals with Western heads. On the issue of border territories, the root cause of their confusion and false scriptures is here.
Stubborn Indian cognition. India's idea goes something like this: they think that "the territorial extent they perceive" is India's "inherent territory", unquestionable, uncontroversial, sacrosanct and without the need for negotiation at all. From the elite to the ordinary people, it is generally felt that "China invaded India for no reason", India is an innocent victim, China not only occupies "our territory" but also sends troops to beat us, always "bullying" India. Nehru once said that India's unilaterally determined borders on the basis of historical research are "not discussed by anyone else.". Therefore, we must be soberly aware that it is impossible to expect to settle the border territorial dispute through negotiations with India, or even to expect India to make concessions. The reason why India negotiates with you is only to persuade or coerce you to accept his unilateral position, and everything else is a floating cloud. Ridiculous? Confused? Tell you, this is the truth.
The difficult and persistent path of great power
Obsessed. From Nehru onwards, the great power strategy became India's national will, a social consensus that transcended political parties and ideological differences, and had a profound impact on its diplomatic and security strategy. Understanding this, it is not difficult to understand India's territorial expansion ambitions and foreign wars since the founding of the people's republic, as well as a series of tumultuous operations in the international community. In the United Nations, he has failed several times in his quest to become normal, but has repeatedly lost battles, pursued a policy of hostility toward China for a long time, and continued to stubbornly expand on the border issue. If you want to seek the overall situation, first seek a domain. On the road to great power, China is a peak that it must face, and it is only a second-rate player in Asia, and no matter how thick-skinned it is, I am afraid that I am not embarrassed to call myself a world-class power, right? Therefore, you will see that no matter what kind of things India makes, it loves to compare with China, of course, every time the three brothers "win a big victory".
Britain lays mines. When the British left, they left two large mines for the three brothers: the partition of India and Pakistan and the sino-Indian border conflict, which are still the major troubles of the three countries. In the history of China and India, they have been neighbors for many years and have not had border disputes. In 1914, the British McMahon signed the Treaty of Simla with shaza, the local representative of Tibet, and created a so-called McMahon Line. In addition, in fact, there are the so-called "Johnson Line" and "Ma Jiye-Dou Nele Line" created by the British, of course, the Chinese central government has never recognized and does not conform to international law. However, India does not think so.
Keep going on an adventure. Nehru and successive governments wanted to "make a difference" on the border issue and constantly risked temptation. As a result, there are constant conflicts on the border and "crowd excitement" in India. When the People's Liberation Army marched into Tibet, India secretly supplied arms to the local armed forces in Tibet and did everything possible to obstruct our liberation of Tibet. In 1951, India took advantage of our army's fierce battle in Korea and sent troops to occupy the Tawang region. In 1959, India, in collusion with the CIA, incited support for the Tibetan rebellion, and Indian troops took the opportunity to cross the McMahon Line. In 1962, a self-defense counterattack against India broke out, and our army overcame tremendous difficulties and defeated the Indian army, which had exhausted all favorable conditions. Since then, the reluctant India has been moving continuously. Briefly, there have been: the Battle of Nathu La Pass and the Battle of Chola Pass in 1967, in which more than 600 Indian troops were killed or wounded; in 1975, the small-scale battle at the Toulon Pass; the confrontation in the Santolo Valley area in 1987; the Dongzhang Confrontation in 1999; the 2013 Radak Debsang Valley Standoff; in 2017, the famous Doklam Standoff; and then, from 2020 to the present, there have been conflicts and confrontations in the Galwan Valley-Pangong Lake area.
Judging from the previous conflicts, generally speaking: The attitude of the third brother has always been tough, the territory must not be allowed, the fight will certainly be a loss, the mouth will always be victorious, and the opportunity must be troublemaking.
Internal and external troubles. India is full of native states, ethnic and religious issues are complex, various interest groups in the country control one side, the army, the government, political parties, religious forces, local bigwigs, often openly and secretly fight. Miss's heart ring life, Modi Old Immortal can not be determined. The central government is ostensibly bitter, its ruling power is not strong, its government decrees are not commonplace, and it is more of a role of a balancer.
Since Modi came to power, he has vigorously promoted economic reforms, and GDP has grown rapidly, but it has touched many interest groups. In 2020, the new crown pneumonia was strongly blessed, the epidemic was tragic, Modi was locked down twice, the people's livelihood was difficult, and even the GDP fell by a record 23.9% in the second quarter, and the unemployment rate exceeded 20%. Not only that, but the Modi government's land reforms and changes in agricultural policies have offended a large class of landlords, leading to hundreds of thousands of peasant brothers continuing to besiege New Delhi. The working class is not far behind, with waves of strikes and factories smashing. Under the heavy internal worries, the United States and Europe and other countries have also begun to "oppose the water", and the former good friends of the United States and Canada have expressed their support for Indian farmers and supporting opposition parties in India.
With such internal and external troubles, Modi Laoxian could only once again perform the "Dafa of Receiving And Issuing Hair" to divert domestic contradictions. However, he should still know that he has a few pounds, and I think his old man just wants to show toughness, not really want to fight with us.
