Chinese Hegemony at our Doorstep

War & Peace

Is the war on? War is already on!

I was reading a comment question on one of the articles in an online newspaper covering the Galvan Valley Faceoff. Those who are not able to make out the dubious design of our adversary could be shocked in time to come if the contemporary events have not made them yet. Hence complacency on our side would be disastrous, but I have faith in the ruling dispensation and our defense forces that such lacunae is not there.

It's all in the open especially after China blatantly favoring countries with political or military agenda that is inimical to our interest. It has been aggressively opposing us on all International forums. Its hegemonic expansionist design is no secret with constant aggression in South Asian Sea (SCS) and acrimony with nearly all its Asian neighbours. It's collusion with our staunch enemy, and some gullible neighbours is no secret. Oops! I nearly forgot the annexation of Tibet which is history.

But however aggressive and malicious the design behind the skirmishes are war is not easy to start and endure considering the International displeasure and discouragement that the aggressor may face and added to possible International isolation could be the price that its economy would have to pay. The later could result in dip in demand severely if not a total boycott.  

Unfortunately the peace initiative is not in our hand it seems. For we are a peace loving country that believes in dialogue and not war. If you look back at history we have always faced the offensive right from the days of Arab invasion to arrival of Moguls and then the British.

Whether this defensive peace loving National Character has been costly is not the matter of discussion here? But it is not difficult to conjecture that we need to be militarily strong, proactive and offensive whenever the situation arises. Any hesitation on our part could be costly, not only on terms of lives lost but losing land can be of consequence as well.

LAC 

It is not only the long boundary that we share with China called LAC the line of actual control which stretches a good three thousand five hundred kilometres it is the disputed nature of the boundary that is behind the frequent scuffles that have taken place since year. But the recent faceoff has aggravated the situation alarmingly. Behind this heat up is definitely the expansionist policy of Northern neighbor whose claim on our land should never be accepted. Most of claim on our land is chimerical based on conjectures without any fact to support. It will not be possible to settle this issue until unless status quo is accepted.   

Claims and counterclaims, blaming each other repeatedly on every event is a tactical percusor to false propaganda in order to justify the heinous acts of war. This is how wars start as the real motive behind the aggressor (China) are not known or at the best construed.  One things is not difficult to conjecture and that the aggressor has not tasted real blood so far, and for that 1962 war and our failure at that event has bolstered its belief in might is right. The economic disparity favoring it and the military might that seems to be in its favour as well creates a perception that it can any time make India bite the dust.

Way Ahead!

India is no more a disorganised weakling as it was in 1962 with practically no military capabilities. This is not the case anymore we stand neck to neck in case of confrontation now and can deliver a shocking punch.  They have lost more soldiers than we have and this will be the case in future faceoffs or full fledged war.

China should immediately stop claiming our territory and return all that it has forcibly captured during the 1962 war...if it wants good relations and peace with us. If ever they try to intrude into our territory they will be repelled and incur heavy losses.

For us this is not time to entertain political, social and ideological distances and dissension. We should stand united and deliver a solid punch to the enemy. 

Jai Hind!

Covid 19 Defying Norms & Dexamethasone

Dexamethasone 

This minuscule infectious agent survives in the microscopic maze of obscurities and so far has defied all norms and analysis about its spread, growth and prevalence. Covid 19 has proven to be the most mysterious pandemic the World has ever faced. With a contingent or a methodical race for cure in form of a vaccine which seems most likely panacea for our survival, and number of existing solutions hidden in the bottomless labyrinth of pharmacopoeia there augurs no forward movement in the immediate circumstances at least not much. 

Dexamethasone has been now illuminated as a wonder drug after rejection of HCQ by many research based institutions. Dexamethasone is a steroid or a corticosteroid produced naturally by our adrenal glands. Though not exactly a cure its role seems to have been enhanced as strong palliative and life saver in the line of treatments in contingency which makes oxygen supplement or ventilation support an imperative.     

This conclusion about new addition to line of treatment has arisen due to trials carried out in England. In fact this is the drug is part of biggest trail testing of existing palliatives or possible cures. As reported in the BBC News the drug dexamethasone has emerged as a major breakthrough with possibility of saving lives by one third of those on ventilators and by one fifth of those needing oxygenation. The medicine seems to work at low doses during the advance stage of infection. This is an inexpensive durg available widely.  

If the drug proves its mettle in the long run it could be one step forward towards saving large number of lives and bringing the fatality ratio down in favor of beleaguered humanity. But this news should not have people rushing to the pharmacists since all medication should be taken or administered under the aegis of expert medical practitioners and in care of well equipped hospitals. Self medication is disastrous, for any suspected symptoms please contact you doctor or nearest medical institution in charge of infectious disease or a hospital. 

If the effectiveness of this palliative or life saver is further proven it will be a miracle, but only experts can deduce the efficacy of the drug under various underlying conditions.  

Covid - 19 Defying Norms

Coming back to the point Covid 19 is defying all established norms set by previous pandemics and is supposed to have mutated in a manner that has enhanced its infectious abilities and has become more stable.   

The pandemic is defying all norms of containment globally though lockdowns seems to have diluted the spread of Covid 19 by enhancing distances between carriers and susceptible, it has been only limited to controlling the spread. The seasonal impact has not been as expected at all the hot summers seems to have played no role in containment so far. This seasonality will also be under scrutiny during the monsoon in India. 

Take Precautions Advised Without Hesitation

Hence social distancing norms, wearing masks and gloves and putting up face shields whenever necessary and washing hands vigorously with soap and safe sanitizer is what every person should follow strictly. Governments all over are advising their citizens best practices to safeguard their health from ill effect of this deadly disease. Please follow!

Lockdowns have a limit because of social and economic compulsions, respect guidelines set by the Government and keep yourself safe while moving or at a place of work. Avoid places that have been designated as risky and stay at home maximum. 

==============================================

Self Medication is Dangerous 

Please consult medical experts for any symptoms or preventive medications if any.
