NSC 79 | Interpreting PM Modi’s Statement on China I Happymon Jacob I Prem Shankar Jha
- 3 years ago
In this episode, Dr Happymon Jacob discusses PM Modi’s statement during the all-party
meeting on China with Mr Prem Shankar Jha (Managing Editor, Financial World; Former Information
Advisor to V.P.Singh).
The conversation attempts to unpack the reason behind PM Modi’s statement which became
controversial amongst the Indian strategic community. Mr Jha interprets the statement as a signalling strategy that the Indian PM used to signal to China. He argues that the PM was factually correct in stating that the Chinese have not entered India territory as the Chinese have only forced their claims on disputed areas. Therefore the PM’s statement is a call for de-escalation. Mr Jha argues that media coverage of this statement undermines this strategy by misinterpreting the PM’s words. Mr Jha also discusses the reasons behind the present Chinese aggression at the border and the future of Sino-Indian relations.
