We build a string of pearls to take down the elephant.

Elephant will stample down a panda with its foot and move on.

Just Imagine, if we did help them. What can CHINA Do then rather than defending itself.

Depend on what kind of help, let American set military bases in Indian soil as Japan did..than we will have nothing to complain

unfortunately pakistani hatred for india does not allow them to see through this..

It is a two way street.

KOCHI: Former National Security Adviser MK Narayanantoday said the US cannot counter China in the Asian region without India's support.

"India is the only country in the Asian region capable of standing against China," Narayanan said while delivering a keynote address at a two-day conference on 'US Rebalance and the Asia Pacific Region', here.

He said Chinese "exceptionalism poses a danger" to all countries which have an interests in Asia and India's approach to the situation that prevails in the region is different.

Citing loopholes in the way Washington operates in the region to counter China, Narayanan said, "The US cannot hope to go it alone or hope to succeed only with the support of smaller nations. India must factor
very highly in the designs of the United States."

There are certain incompatibilities between Washington's rebalancing strategy and India's priorities, he said in the conference also attended by former RAW chief PK Hormis Tharakan.

The former West Bengal Governor said India's effort is to see that the situation in the region "does not reach a point where China feels it could threaten India's position in Asia".

He said India does not want to see itself as a nation seeking to contain China individually or in association with the United States in the region.

Referring to the defence capabilities of both the nations, Narayanan said the current reality is that despite the Chinese military build up, China does not have any major advantage vis-a-vis India.

Speaking on the occasion, US Consul General Phillip Min said, "India's Act East policy and our rebalance to Asia are complementary approaches based on our shared democratic values and respect for the stability and prosperity that the rules-based international system has brought to the world."

"And as the United States implements our rebalance, we see India as a fundamental provider of economic growth and security across the region," Min said.

The two-day conference, which began today, is hosted by the US Consulate General, Chennai, in association with the Center for Public Policy Research (CPPR).

Indeed US is just useless without India , my comment stop here..better do more and talk less @kurup

India is not able to stand against Pakistan and time would prove it. Indian national disease is daydreaming. By nature they are chest thumbing nation taking sky high minute developments. Now childishly showing its hight.

That is a very "Be my daddy" comment. One would have expected a more balanced statement from a former diplomat coming from the country known for its balanced poise within its region.

Former diplomats are not expected to make balanced statement and there are plenty.

He can even say US can only colonize pluto with help of Russia.

True ....... this person , who is a not a representative of GOI BTW , is indeed talking uselessly .

Ni ether US nor India require one another to counter China , both countries are capable of doing it themselves .

Moreover , I don't think there exists any need for anybody to counter a country which doesnot have the capability of any action and is only capable of giving out warnings which actually nobody cares and laughs at .

That is a perfect eg of a country that talk more and do less ...... my comments also stop here ....

Sorry for not tagging and adding the blue ..... I think that doesnot serve any purpose .....

Your comments are rather idiotic. Grow up man and get serious sometimes. Always behaving like a kid with a lollypop ain't a healthy sign. Perhaps you need to visit a shrink who could reorganize your brain cells which seem to be in complete disarray at present.

They can always issue warnings ....

 

[indianBong]

The ancient Pakistanis ruled Indians from the Taj Mahal for 800 years. With our Chinese nuclear missile help, they will enter Delhi again like Timur the great conqueror. You will woe your ghar wapsi on your minority then.

seriously?????
Taj Mahal is a mausoleum..... not a seat of power.... and pakistanis aren't arab raiders....your history is very poor....

 

[DeathInvader]

Depend on what kind of help, let American set military bases in Indian soil as Japan did..than we will have nothing to complain

Isn't Exactly Why they need our Help? To let them use our soil for launching attacks on the mighty dragon. IF its our ally during war, why won't we let them use our soil?

Nobody's giving them anything permanently. Its just pure business.

 

[indianBong]

We have a pipeline through Myanmar and are now exploring for oil in the Andaman Sea. The dragon's claws are getting close to the elephant. Rajapaksa will be back in Sri Lanka with our military intervention if necessary.

well your knowledge of world affairs are also very poor..... you plan too perform military intervention in a place where you need to take permission to land your submarine for refuelling....!!!!

Indeed, if you Indians can just do that favor to us to let American use your soil and make sure you pay also their expense as Japan and Korea did

 

[Stephen Cohen]

China will do more to have a friendly India than an adversarial one
USA has just raised the stakes in this emerging US China cold war

giving usa soil to launch attack against china means we should be prepared for retaliatory attack on that base from china.....

Lol what's wrong with my comment, I just repeat your Former National Security Adviser said

"US cannot counter China in Asia without India", you Indians must feel really important by now
