Article introduction:
Recently, the Indian media once again stirred up the hype of the border issue, which has attracted widespread attention. And this time, the Hindustan Times report once again made waves on the international stage. The report claimed that China was building villages in Bhutan, and Indian Army Chief of Staff Pander subsequently visited Bhutan. However, the veracity and motivation of this report are questionable, and this article will reveal more details and the story behind it.
First, behind the border problem
Indian media reports claim that China has built a village in the eastern part of the Doklam Plateau, but whether this claim is true remains to be verified. In fact, this area belongs to the territory of Bhutan and has nothing to do with India. This time the report is just a continuation of India's long-standing hype over the border issue, aimed at creating tensions.
Since 2017, India sent troops directly into Doklam to confront the Chinese People's Liberation Army for 73 days, and since then, Indian media have been constantly playing up stories of "Chinese invasion". They even pulled out satellite images from foreign media to try to prove their claims. However, these are fictional stories woven by India itself.
India's geopolitical ambitions
India has always had ambitious geopolitical plans, dreaming of a "Greater India" future that includes annexing neighboring countries such as Pakistan, Sikkim, Bhutan and even parts of Chinese territory. This ambition stemmed from the design of India's post-independence social elite, who wanted India to be the heir to the "British Empire."
To achieve this goal, India has resorted to annexing territories and waging wars in the past few decades. However, India has persisted despite repeated setbacks in conflicts with Pakistan, Nepal, China and other countries.
In recent years, the Indian government, under the leadership of Modi, has promoted economic development, and domestic national sentiment has been high, further stimulating India's geopolitical ambitions. In order to maintain domestic approval ratings, the Modi government often seeks opportunities to provoke trouble on border issues.
Bhutan's resistance and international support
Despite India's attempts to control Bhutan's political and foreign affairs, the royal family and people of Bhutan have been staunchly resisting Indian influence. Bhutan has the sovereignty of an independent State recognized by the United Nations, which is guaranteed by international law. India does not have the right to annex Bhutan.
However, the Indian media have always regarded Bhutan as part of India, and whenever the Bhutanese government expresses its intention to negotiate peace with China, the Indian media reacts strongly. However, the international community has been steadfast in its support for Bhutan's sovereign status.
Fourth, the cost of India
India's geopolitical ambitions and provocations have cost it. To avoid Indian pressure, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and other countries have strengthened ties with China, and India has gradually become isolated in South Asia, making its plans to try to provoke trouble in southwest China more difficult.
Summary:
India's border hype has once again attracted attention, but the truth behind the facts is far from as simple as reported in the Indian media. India's geopolitical ambitions and unrealistic dream of a Greater India have isolated it on the international stage, while Bhutan is firmly defending its sovereign status and is supported by the international community. India should re-examine its behavior and pursue peace and cooperation rather than unrealistic geopolitical ambitions.
