China built railway tracks at the highest point in the Himalayas. Much to the dismay of Tibetan people . The train from Beijing to Tibet set out Saturday carrying business travelers and thrill-seekers on the world's highest railway, which critics fear could devastate the Himalayan region's unique Buddhist culture.
is this an Engineering marvel or an Amazing Engineering feat! ?
But whats the point. China projected it to be a just another technical jewel in their crown.
Well MeThinks it was built to debunk the Tibetan State.
China wanted to bridge the Himalayan Barriers and compel the Tibetans into submission by hacking into everything they would ever need.
Well the Third-World is always a mute spectator. Bodies such as UN are Institutions with many such Skeletons(Tibet) in its cupboard. The aspirations of Tibetans are crushed under the Tyranny of the Chinese Will.
India is too scared to intervene for fear of the Chinese.
The Super-Power concept is such a bad thingy after all.
All over the Internet you could find protests from Tibetans. Communist troops had marched into Tibet in 1950. Tibet till then, had been independent State.
China might have proved a Point. But the Tibetans tell the Chinese...the Point is not taken.
Well it might have been a point well-taken if they had given autonomy to Tibet and helped build the Train. All it now appears is a Ego-Express which is only fool-hardy chinese aspire to ride.
With this undetaking China is better strategically positioned against india.
But Really did India ever stand a chance against the Military might of the Chinese ?
India may have a deterrent with its going Nuclear. But certainly its no match against the might of the Chinese.
Sometimes good Engineering can be such a bane (for india and tibetans) rather than a boon.
