The comment here is for the Forum Discussion titled: No Chinese in India, says Government posted by Leon in Communty Lounge from the Telegraph, Kolkata.

Every country has its rights to do whatever it thinks best for its citizens. So, what the Indian Government did, others should not see it with any negativity. It is plainly just.

On the Chinese part, whether there is a hidden agenda – as claimed by the Indians – is pointless and unproven. The irony as revealed in the article claimed that many Indians from prestigeous higher school of learnings like IIM, IIT etc. are learning Chinese – WHY, WHAT FOR ? On the other hand, China is justified to also retaliate to do the same of what the Indians did.

The bottom-line is for the various ministries of the Indian Government that they should never ever use this current “sour or tense” relationships to cause undue hardships to Indian Chinese community mainly concentrated in Kolkata, India – to impose hardships on their livelihood and freedom of travels etc. If that happens, the democratic process of India is put to SHAME, SHAME, SHAME.

I sincerely hope that history will not repeat itself of what happened in 1962. All those Indian Chinese who remain in Inida should never ever go through, in this 21st century, another period of persecution by the Indians.

Howard,

You said it absolutely right, had it not been chinese communist govt in china, there would not have been so many uprooted families all over the world. Yet this is not a perfect world.

The Delhi Government did the right thing by refusing visas to any Chinese from China, doesnt matter teacher or tourist or monks, they were bitten once and twice shy (after Sino-Indian border conflict). If not because of the war, I would have been a very rich Chinese living in Calcutta today !

Given the jump in bilateral trade, enhanced economic and cultural exchanges between the two populous neighbours in Asia, it really comes as a surprise that visa is not denied but takes ages to process by New Delhi to bring in one or maybe a handful of Chinese native teachers to Indian universities or institutions to teach the Chinese language in its orginal form. Even the Chinese Consulate, supposedly at the highest level of diplomatic connection, could do nothing.
With partnerships in globalization, here we are talking about one or two Chinese native teachers to teach nationally in India, from which only a small fraction would want to learn the language out of billions of people either with intention to work in or to trade with China.
The Cultural Ministry of the Government of India should investigate the bureaucracy and put into effect of the agreement made with UGC to accelerate visa issuance as a matter of cultural promotion between the two countries.
Unless the matter is politically motivated, which seems unlikely, or else visa issuance would be denied upfront.
