I agree with the article we in India have little or no knowledge of China. Even educated people believe that China invaded India in 1962 without really knowing the cause and trigger.
I hope on claiming doklam we have truth on our side or else we are getting it again.
This is the most important point. India does not trust China and that is why India is nervous about doklam in Chinese hands as it can be used to cut off India's main routes to northeast.
Found some interesting videos on the India-China border.
Why Doklam plateau is of strategic importance to India.
Chinese Airfields of importance to India.
Chinese roads and presence in AksaiChin
Chinese infrastructure near Tawang
Chinese infiltration routes in Uttarakhand
My POV:

ppl get what they pay for. Its not like the Chinese don't know to make bearings. This is how Indian businessmen do business buy from China paste Made in India :D
Yes they should go through the foreign affair but do you want us to just stand and watch PLA build and complete the road until we finish talks through the foreign affairs.
This is a tricky thing status quo had no road that was no mans land and it was peaceful. Suddenly India is threatened...
I am not asking China to give up its land. All that i am asking is China to maintain status quo as this is a dispute between China and Bhutan.
First this issue needs to be resolved between China and Bhutan and then China can build not just a road but anything it wants to build.
PS: I don't...
I don't think you get the point. Doklam is of strategic importance to India. We have a large border dispute with China in such circumstances why would we let China build a road so close to India and give them a strategic advantage to invade us ?
Got the point! Its not about nationalism or ego...
