I concur....In this particular case, Indian forces should be defensively postured until otherwise required....
This issue does not need to blow out proportions unless China is suffering from overconfidence...
India in the mean time can use its diplomatic channels to brand China the aggressor....this might even involve media and propoganda, but those are way safer and economically sane options to deal a blow to china than escalating militarily...
Besides, with the elections coming up, Congress knows that hurting the economy by pushing a war on the people is a sure shot way to lose the elections...
At the same time I must also commend the Chinese on a well timed intimidation tactic....especially when the Political parties ruling the country are walking on a thin line..
You are mistaken - the one aspect which makes various ethnic groups and communities think as one - that is Indian - is when crisis in thrown in at India with threats of foreign intervention on Indian sovereignty - example, BJP rode to power once again in 1999/2000 was due to its robust military response though it goofed up initially.
So even a perception of weakness on the part of Congress will hurl congress to its defeat next year and if the NDA has enough arsenal in its Propaganda wing, it is doomsday for Congress.
