[GareebNawaz]

Well against small countries yes but have you seen them take action against Russia when they invaded Georgia despite the outrage and condemnation?

Well what could have USA done against Russia?

^^ tell me which Indian party has a satisfactory stance on China? You seem to go by everything media tells you....that too western media. Lol. And the reason why BJP is anti-pakistan is becuase of Vajpayee and his decisions during Kargil war. So they reflect on BJP. Dr.Singh is doing a lot but not enough. (figure out what that means NRI). And I dont like to show my intellect of Indian gov't on DEFENCE FORUMS, becuase that makes you look like some sort of suck up loser. Lol before you tell me about this lack of knowledge, treat your chinese counterparts the same and dont talk about 30 million dead or some BS. If chine killed 30 mill plp world would know about it, and the hype whould have surpassed the Holcaust.

right.. you have now contradicted your own past claims within your incoherent reply multiple times. I'll let your intellect as you claim, do something on the " THE google" and put in the words China famine 30 million dead...

Yeah, mass starvation.

I just don't understand how Indians can laugh about dead Chinese people, considering India's own position even today.

I have come to expect it though, as a fairly common occurence. JayAtl is just one in a long list.

Can you just get to the point? We all know the past but how is it relevant in this discussion, you're just going round and round like a broken record.

He thinks that if he says it enough times we'll ignore his actual pathetic posts, Which we do anyway.

Great Leap Forward - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Former Chinese dissident and political prisoner, Minqi Li, a Marxist Professor of Economics at the University of Utah, has produced data showing that even the peak death rates during the Great Leap Forward were in fact quite typical in pre-Communist China. Li (2008) argues that based on the average death rate over the three years of the Great Leap Forward, there were several million fewer lives lost during this period than would have been the case under normal mortality conditions before 1949. [59]

Utsa Patnaik,Professor of Economics at the Centre for Economic Studies and Planning, Jawaharlal Nehru University, argues that some of the very high mortality estimates attributed to the Great Leap Forward, are in part a statistical construct, motivated by an underlying political agenda. Patnaik points out the following: "....because China in the single preceding decade of building socialism, had reduced its death rate at a much faster rate (from 29 to 12 comparing 1949 and 1958) than India had, this sharp rise to 25.4 in 1960 in China still meant that this "famine" death rate was virtually the same as the prevalent death rate in India which was 24.6 per thousand in 1960, only 0.8 lower. This latter rate being considered quite "normal" for India, has not attracted the slightest criticism. Further, in both the preceding and the suceeding year India's crude death rate was 8 to 10 per thousand higher than in China."[60]

I will do numbercrunching from census data myself later.

Don't take it so seriously.

There are plenty of Chinese members (some fake flags, but still) here who have said horrible things about India for no reason, making fun of India's impoverished population, pretending to feel sympathy for them, branding Indians in general in racist terms. It shocked me at first but now I just laugh and move on, because I know the opinions expressed on this forum mean nothing.

Don't let this forum shape your perceptions on anything.
