    As tension between the United States and China continues to grow under President

    Trump, India’s NonAlignment 2.0 seeks to provide a “third option”: a post-modern


    developmental model.

    India’s border disputes with its neighbours are primarily the legacy of a colonial
    power, with India claiming paramountcy to be the only heir to the British Raj.
    Under law, judicial precedence and historical conventions, this paramountcy is
    illegal, creating border disputes with neighbours. It is important to emphasise
    that in context of the on going Ladakh crises, there are four parties to the
    conflict. Besides China and India, they are Pakistan and the people of Kashmir and
    Ladakh under the 1948 Kashmir Resolution.

    It is worth mentioning that post 1947; China and India were allies while Pakistan
    was poised to join the containment alliance. How the positions flipped manifests
    the Indian desire to succeed the colonial hegemon while maintaining a façade of
    non-alignment and leadership of a post-colonial third world.
    Even back then, Indian policies were contradictory, contrasting and called immoral
    by USA. While Pakistan espoused USA, India was handled by United Kingdom, the old
    colonial master.
    Hind-Chini bhai bhai’ to enemies,
    “On the whole, India is friend of China, this has been so in the past thousand and
    more years, and we believe will certainly continue to be so in one thousand and
    more years to come. The enemy of the Chinese people lies in the East – the US
    imperialists have many military bases in Taiwan, in South Korea, Japan and in the
    Philippines, India has not taken part in the South-east Asia Treaty; it is not an
    opponent, but a friend to our country. China will not be so foolish as to
    antagonise India in the west.

    Because the China-Pakistan agreement is subject to settlement of the Kashmir


    dispute, the mutual frontier between China and Pakistan opens political and
    strategic cooperation. The first initiative was the Karakoram Highway, which has
    now advanced to CPEC. Military cooperation as the situation evolves remains an
    option, including the military use of Chinese Trans-Karakoram Tract Corridor.
    Daulat Beg Oldie is the northern most base of operations against Siachin and
    domination of Siachin and the Chinese corridor. India is in a catch 22 situation.
