Boiling the new Asian Ocean
Boiling the new ‘Asian Ocean’ | Rupee News
Chinese warships near Bharati shores is a nighmare for Delhi. The so called Indian Ocean is becoming less and less Indian. Actually it was only Indian when Indo-Nesia, Indo-ChinaVietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Burma, Indonesia, and others were all called India by the different European countries. For the Dutch India was Indonesia, for the French India was Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia, and for Columbus India was America. For Others West Indies was India and all the inhabitants of America were Indians.
Thus the Europeans called it the Indian ocean. In fact today it is more of a Chinese and Asian ocean and should be called Asian Ocean. There is noting Indian about an ocean that touches Madagascar, Australia and lands in between. Beijing is taking steps to convert the ocean into a Chinese lake. Chine is now deep-sea mining in the central part of the so called Indian Ocean. Its application has been cleared by an international body. This brings a lot of fretting to the Bharati Ministries of Defense and External Affairs. Delhi fears that Beijing may use it as an excuse to operate their warships in this area. If Chinese ships are guarding Beijings economic interests, in the middle of the oceancan Pakistani warships and submarines be far behind.
July is a seminal even in the conversion of the Indian Ocean into an Asia Ocean. On July 19th the International Seabed Authority cleared Chinas request for exploration and mining licenses in Southwestern Indian Ridge.
The Bharati Directorate of Naval Intelligence (DNI) has warned that this could have critical implications for India as the Chinese would have reasons to maintain a continuous presence in the region. This permanent presence has Delhi shedding bricks. There are short term and long term implications of of the Chinese foray into the oceans.
The DNI has raised the a,arm bells around the world. It would provide them an opportunity to collect oceanographic and hydrological data in a
legitimate manner. Further, it would also provide an excuse to operate their warships in this area.
The DNI statement describes the level of panic in Delhi. The Chinese have repeatedly defined that they are only only trying to meet a growing demand for minerals, the Bharatis are paranoid the military implications of the move are evident and would need to be monitored by the Indian Navy.
The actual name should be "Asian Ocean" and not Indian Ocean !!!
Since China is a Permanent U.N. Member, she should use her U.N. power to make the correction of the Ocean name because Ultra Nationalist Indians think they own the Ocean.
"Indian Ocean" to "Asian Ocean". The Phillipines have already changed the name "South China Sea" to "The West Phillipines Sea".
