I dont see where the snub is....
Should we not be attending just because of Chinese threats?
And I would like it if someone could argue why attending a neutral world organizations ceremony is bad.....Just because China said so and has a vested interest?
We arent exactly an "Ally", so surprise shouldnt be a reaction to this news....
Besides...being a democracy, India needs to show its commitment to the political ideology that has binded this multi-ethnic country together...
In addition....
I have a feeling that the Indian newspapers have exaggerated China's reaction, but if not, the part about "there will be consequences" is rather arrogant....
There is no difference then between the bully (US) that gave Pakistan a "deal they could not refuse" and China that is claimed to be the beacon of the developing world treating other nations respectfully...
I for one dont think this shouldnt affect Indo-China relations....We cannot just promote our relationship with China at the cost of other nations...China has to understand that....
Besides....if the Taiwan issue has not mitigated the trade between China and US....Why should this ceremony affect Indo-China relations....I hope the Chinese are smarter than this (Im quite sure).
Lets be honest....
The VETO is China's till the UN agrees to do so....It is because the world agrees that China deserves a seat....something it received by gods good grace at a time when China was nowhere deserving of one unlike its current form...
Similarly, India has reached a level where enough of the world thinks India is in a deserving position to be included....
At the the end of the day....the UN is a consensus of the world opinion...is it not?
So China can Veto our demand, but that will not change the world's opinion nor the new power dynamics...
It will only prove to the world that China is misusing its veto....something the US is often accused of....
Except in this case, the P5 minus China backs our claim....
So please dont try to be arrogant and make it seem like India will bend over backwards for China to get this.....
I will quote a rather famous comedian to sum up my thought...
"Indians and Chinese can never be in business together.....The Chinese cant give a bargain and Indians cant live without one"...
stabs her ?
let me correct u with the meaning of stabbing !
If india says or promises we wont attend Nobel prize ceremony and the attend it......thats called stabbing ?
did the above scenario ever happened ?
answer it and u are thru ! otherwise u are nothing but only propaganda.....agree ?
I believe that is what you call backstabbing.
I believe that is what you call backstabbing.
China should feel ok after India stabs her in public, i believe that is what you are trying to convey.
Here's my arrogant prediction. The reform process will drag on for at least another 5 years or so. The whole time, the west will wave this trinket in front of India to get it to do as it is told and when India finally gets a seat it will be a non-veto permanent seat in a batch with several other countries in a much expanded UNSC, where a regular (non-veto) seat will mean a hell of a lot less than it does even now.
and this is assume it happens at all.

This is not far from the truth.
India is aware of this and therefore shall go ahead & do what suits its own national interests.
Meanwhile I feel China is needlessly exposing a soft underbelly by asking countries not to attend the ceremony.It would have been best to ignore the whole incident & it would pass with time. By wanting to see things only in Black or white it is ignoring the shades of Grey that do occur all the time.
Dude......lol......no one said "stab". The word is "snub". This might be good time to break out that new dictionary of yours eh?
I'm kind of surprised at some of the reactions from Chinese members here. Most of them don't like India including two who have recently converted to that view and yet expect India to go out of its way for China.
