China has been recently intruding the borders of Sikkim in the Eastern Himalayas. This region borders TIbet. “There have already been already as many as 40 “intrusions” by Chinese troops across the 206-km border between Sikkim and Tibet since January this year, say top sources”.
It is bothersome as to why China would be engaging in such activities. It is really surprising that China chooses to continue to probe into Eastern India, especially after it has been a part of India officially for over sixty years. ” Even a comprimise formula was worked out by prime-minister Atal BIhari Vajpayee in 2003 when he visited China.”
However, some officials feel that this is part of China’s game plan to use Sikkim as leverage in its policy of exerting relentless pressure on India over the Tawang tract in Arunachal Pradesh.” China has been trying to gain India’s Eastern states for a while by claiming that the inhabitants are more Chinese than Indian. China should learn to mind its business and stick to improving its government. It is not the time to acquire states especially when they belong to a democratic country.
