With India nothing is certain w.r.t India's attitude towards China.. Every man who becomes PM thinks he is the chosen one with the golden d**k and tries to change the adversarial relations with China into a friendly one.. Modi had a severe case of this disease. .While the bureaucracy in America, ensures that there is a continuity in the nation's strategic direction, the Indian bureaucracy is more interested in sucking upto the PMO for personal benefits, than helping bring about continuity.. Hence the bureaucracy during Modi's tenure was geared towards Jhula Jhuli as it was Modi that wanted it this way.. We dont even have a regular national security strategy Excercise..Yes, the standoff at the LAC will be a permanent reminder to all Indian politicians to take the Chinese threat very seriously. This will hopefully create urgency in a lot of areas - relook at our defence spending, our border infra spending, our foreign policy, development of Andaman/Nicobar, more nuclear submarines etc. It also gives us the freedom to arm Vietnam and other Chinese neighbors.
For many years, we were facing the threat of two front war, now the Chinese face the same threat. So thats progress in a way. Also the world now recognizes India as one of the few nations standing up to the Chinese, hopefully that will help us in getting permanent membership of the UN security council.
