China intruded into Indian territory in 1962 & remains there. Issue since 1967 is abt perceptions of #LAC and #ability to #patrol within the #grey #zones btwn percied LACs. #CeeepingAcquisition refers to #PLA stealthily converting grey into black zones by excluding Indian patrols
#2/fp I have a problem with well informed critics (professing to be patriots), who deliberately confuse the public by treating grey areas as black, and vice versa, as it suits their narrative (raising suspicion its ideological or political)!
3/lad The #CreepingAcqusition within #Greyzones in #Ladakh since May 2020, has been apparent in satellite pictures. What was unclear till recently, was the precise limits of #GreyZones The public was therefore unable to check loosely worded assertions made in text, against maps!
4/lad One of the important objectives of India-China border talks since 1967 has been to define these grey zones precisely, on agreed maps. #China has refused to do this in Western (Ladakh) and Eastern sector(Arunachal,WB). This facilitates #CCP policy of #Creeping #Acquisition.

Upside potential & downside risks have been more or less equal since the start of the financial year (in April 2023) ecoti.in/u6n-Ub
2/IndEc A ringing endorsement👍🏼 for FDI into India by US & EU(+UK) MNCs, by four professors, in the Harvard Business Review (#HBR) 👌🏼 hbr.org/2023/06/does-y…
3/IndEc The more that US business, entrepreneurs & professionals learn about Indian infrastructure, digital economy, financial system and Green ambitions, the more #FDI will flow into manufacturing.

One should be inured to the pro-China, anti-India, bias of the Anglo Saxon world, & its subalterns [ jstor.org/stable/30030642 ], but sadly after 50 yrs, one is still not!
2/ir #India’s #rise is causing deep disquiet in the #Anglo #Saxon #World and among its subalterns. #Information #War will intensify in next 3 years, and won’t subside till India becomes the third largest economy in (current) USD.

As a National Security Strategist * find it a little difficult to interpret such statements by Senior officers of the US armed forces, in the broader context of the PRC threat!
2/nss Sweet spot for PLA aggression: #Elections in raucous democracies. => Lesson: Armed forces in threatened countries, should have more operational autonomy during election period.
3/nss Post script: #India’s general election is also in 2024

2/res Ths who’ve never done #research in lifetime find it difficult to understand, why this is critical, for directing commissioning & using, good policy relevant research [An internal core of researchers is key to success]. For them ideas & analysis can be bought like software📦
3/res Any org that merely reacts to media headlines, & questions raised by critics, is like a consultancy organisation, not a think tank. It can never anticipate problems, nor create imaginative new solutions. Worlds top consultancy orgs. reward salesmanship not analysis… 4/res

Buddha's Golden Mean (#BGM): "Those who forget history are condemned to repeat it, those who are obsessed by it, will never see a brighter future"
2/ncrh Remember these are the same folks whose neo-colonial progeny, preach us "principles" to support their selfish interests, and to "shame" us into working against our own national interest
3/ncrh The response must be rational, not emotional. Learn about India's (own) National interest, and the national interests of the major powers (Hint: USSR & PRC were colonial) to understand how "principles" are used & misused!
