Our territorial claims are known by our map; Has the "Tibetan Govt in exile", which Indian hawks want India to recognize as the "Govt of Tibet", ever accepted in word or deed, that it's the true boundary between India and Tibet? Has any other country in the world (except Bhutan)?
2/tibet 👍🏼👏👏👏 (incidentally the US has also, directly or indirectly, accepted our boundary in NE). Question mark still remains about #Tibet-#Ladakh boundary!
3/tibet I stand corrected 🙏
4/tibet Perhaps time has come for #USA to formally accept accession of the princely state of J&K to India, and to formally accept Indian boundary in Jammu & Ladakh (even if it wants to leave Kashmir boundary issue fuzzy at present)

#HBYN #SciMe With th availability of commercial satellite maps, is it so difficult for researchers to map #CCPPLA's history of #Creeping #Acquisition on Tibet-India border, over 30-40 yrs; so we have clear time lines, & can end th endless bickering among ourselves about facts?🤔
2/agp #SciMe The purpose of satellite based analysis is to determine & time stamp, the facts about roads, defensive/offensive structures & troop movements (if possible), of both countries; These, can then be combined with historical evidence on claims, to do FP/NS analysis!
3/ago This #data gathering by neutral researchers is necessary for convincing #Patriots, who question the factual basis of every national security & foreign policy statement of their democratically elected government ! 😎

#Hypothesis: Agreement to disengage in Pangong lake was reached in Sept-oct, but #CCP11 backtracked in Oct/nov on expectation of Biden win! Blinken's 6th Feb call to Yang Xi confirmed firm US policy towards China. #Xi gave approval for implantation of Pangong agreement thereafter
2/hy #CCPPLA will not abandon its #Creeping #Acquisition policy on India-Tibet border till there is a border settlement, or we establish #Hard #Deterrence viz #PLA, or both! Indian Nat security apparatus is working on this premise; Post-Galwan,political estblishment is on board!
3/hy Dis-engaging tanks & Heavy armor, from battle field positions, is the first step!

#India #Agriculture: Facts, data, hurts ideologues, politicians, intellectual hypocrites, and corrupt vested interests; but it's the only basis for good analysis and effective policy.
State List of Constitution:(14)Agriculture, including agricultural education & research; protection against pests and prevention of plant diseases. (26) Trade and commerce within the State subject to the provisions of Entry 33 of List III=>Stat right to make farmer protection law
#SciMe (=scientific method) 1st the data, 2nd the analysis, 3rd the policy analysis and finally the personal views & judgements (in a democracy citizens have a right to express their views freely)

We must distinguish between the personal & the public. Citizens have freedom to be offended by anything or anyone. In public space the issue is equality under constitutional laws and equal treatment by Govt in implementing these laws, irrespective of religion, gender, caste, ...
2/eq Equality is part of fundamental structure of the Indian constitution, but some provisions violated equality as a temporary measure, which framers expected to be abolished. Such provisions have also led to laws which violate individual equality as perceived in 21st Century.
3/eq 👆🏼unequal laws need to b abolished to attain equality. A clientelist democracy results in biased application of laws in favor of in-groups and against out-groups in some States(police is State subject)! This can be corrected (only) by reform of the Criminal justice system.
