Everyday the Times of India headlines screams about some or the other non friendly news from the other side of the Chinese border. With one inauspicious news after another, I had almost started overlooking TOI's overzealous coverage of Chinese animosity. But this one really takes the cake. It opens your eyes to China's instigating measures towards India.
China has decided to issue “separate” visas to Indian passport holders from Jammu and Kashmir. Earlier too, it did the same thing for citizens of Arunachal Pradesh but this one clearly proves that China is hell bent on antagonizing India. The Ministry of External Affairs of India has threatened China that it will adopt a tit for tat policy for Tibetans if China didn't change it discriminating visa rules.
I feel its high time India goes ahead and does that. Firstly repeatedly Google does the 'mistake' of showing Arunachal Pradesh as a disputed territory or a Chinese territory. If AP is a disputed territory then how come Tibet is shown as a province of China? We need to assert ourselves in global arena if we want the world to take us seriously as an upcoming superpower. Otherwise we will be left issuing angry statements which no one cares about.

And now it is objecting to India's PM visiting Arunachal Pradesh. It looks like China is getting increasingly jittery about India's rising economic power and is trying its best to put pressure on India from all directions possible.
