It's not about only Modi here. See you have to understand for India there is 1. The history of China from 1962 where we were badly under prepared for which we suffered the defeat. Now who ever is the leader, there is no excuse of not fighting because there is no mood in public to let China play with our land and 2. There was always a hard-line leadership that was missing in India. India today has both in place... that's why I say, if China thinks it can pull this just to scare Taiwan, then sorry, it's not happening anymore without suffering a set back that will annihilate both India and China. Of course China can survive and India might not after this, but whatever world power dreams they have goes up with the mushroom cloud.
