India is separated from China by some of the highest and densest mountain ranges in the world. I think a more immediate concern, for India, is Tehran and Islamabad. And I cheer at the thought of Indian nuclear-armed submarine cruising the waters near those two capitals. We need India as an ally.
I have met, worked with, and been friends with quite a few Indians over the years.
They are a very spiritual, non-aggressive, intelligent and inquisitive people.
I cannot help but have the utmost respect for them.
