Bravo, I found your remarks quite amusing.
Corruption aside, a new consulate will cost crores of tax rubees to be built and only for what? trading yak jerkey and poached animal furs? By pilgrimage I guess you imply tourism money you dreamed of, but it is the other way around. More money will flow into China but not otherwise. I guess you Brah..or god forbid बà¥à¤°à¤¾à¤¹à¥à¤®à¤£s don't even consider poors being human being, they need food and electricity rather than a decoration of fallen post colonial political showcase. Now how is the syntax sounding, demoCRAZY enough?
Money has never deterred India from pursuing her goals.
What is a building to have at Lhasa compared to the world largest arms deal?
I am afraid you are totally out of date. The rulers are not Brahmins, but everyone else but Brahmins. That, of course, does not matter at all.
Even in your own beautiful, Communist run country that 'cares' for people, there are impoverished people.
So, delude not.
The Opium War ended long ago!
Britain had a governor in India.
Had a Governor? Since when?
Had a Viceroy and then a Governor General and then the Presidents came into being!
You are totally out of date, but one cannot blame you since your history books are of the Mao era with its Communist verbiage!
Most Sino-Indo trade is done via sea route, trade across the borders of Tibet between China and India is actually very limited and certainly doesn't warrant a consulate in Tibet.
India's resquest for a consulate in Tibet comes out of nowhere, that is why India posters are justifying it with the consulate set up by the british.
China is building a rail route to Nepal and there is also the Highway to Nepal.
Land route costs less than the sea route.
India has the Indian embassy in Beijing and consulates in Hong Kong and Shanghai.
It is essential to use the land route for Tibetan and Chinese goods, especially from West China, since China is rapidly developing West China under the China Western Development scheme, also known as Open Up the West Program.
This scheme is the development of 6 provinces (Gansu, Guizhou, Qinghai, Shaanxi, Sichuan, and Yunnan), 5 autonomous regions (Guangxi, Inner Mongolia, Ningxia, Tibet, and Xinjiang), and 1 municipality (Chongqing). This region contains 71.4% of mainland China's area, but only 28.8% of its population, as of the end of 2002, and 19.9% of its total economic output, as of 2009.
The East Coast
(with existing development programmes)
"Rise of Central China"
"Revitalize Northeast China"
"China Western Development"
India should improve and expand her trade with China and new opportunities in West China must be exploited and Lhasa is an ideal spot to interact with these areas since it will be in the centre of all the regions being developed.
