Introduction
MALACCA DILEMMA
AS we can see red line is what we gets when we join all ports in string of
pearls and it is quite clear that it completely run parallely through its SLOC (
Sea Line Of Communication) .
China
China claims its entry in Indian ocean will bring harmony
in the region and it has no intention to encircle India and
negates its influence. It further reiterates its old
statement of wanting peaceful rise.
India should not fall for it as the same sweet statements
from China in 1950s ended as war in 1962 .
Port at Myanmar will cut down Chinas distance by
3000km from Bay of Bengal which is controlled by India.
Moreover it will make Strait of Malacca in easy reach of
China . An airstrip in Myanmar will provide effective air
cover for its supplies and also in event of blockade.
Port at Sri Lanka will prove handy in reconnaissance of
Indian navy.
Gwadar port in Pakistan controlled by China will make
India vulnerable in the Arabian ocean and will pose
problem if India tried to take step against Pakistan like it
did in 1971 and 1999 to block Karachi port.
India
India rules the roost in Indian ocean but Chinas entry will
prove detrimental for India . Indias relation with China had
never been hunky-dory . And Chinas entry in Indian ocean will
make the matter worse as India had always been stabilizing
agent in the worlds one of the most strategic location of Indian
ocean.
Several Chinese controlled ports in backyard will make Indian
navy uneasy . As for now there had been no confirmed news of
military capabilities of the ports and its for commercial use only.
But India has not recovered from 1962 dogma and is not in
position to overlook Chinas treading in Indian ocean . Chinas
policy of helping Pakistan , an arch rival of India in terms of
military , infrastructure makes India much more suspicious of
China . China even helped Pakistan to build its nuclear weapons
. China still has not settled border issues with India which it has
done with all other countries.
China spent more than 2 billion dollars in developing Gwadar
port which is recently transferred to China by Pakistan.
