China is famous for building the Great Wall of China over centuries, to ward off invading barbarians from the north. Trump is also building a Great Wall of America to ward off illegal immigrants from Mexico and South America. Trump is also building another tariff wall to fend off America from trading with the rest of the world.
A Great Wall of India is now being built, not by India, but by China around India, to keep India away from its neighbours. India used to boast about how many enemies China had with its neighbours and how many friends India had with its neighbours. Within the last ten years, India's 'friendly' neighbours have turned away from India and joined the embrace of China for protection and economic development.
Thanks to the aggressive and bullying tactics of India, and the rising military and economic clout of China, India's neighbours have found a China that can protect them from India and bring about more trade and economic development for their countries. The latest development, China, Pakistan and Bangladesh have formed a strategic alliance around India, to contain India. This alliance is likely to increase in numbers with Sri Lanka, Nepal and the Maldives as potential members. India would only be left with the canary in the cage, Bhutan, under its control, not allowed to have diplomatic relations with other countries. Even Bhutan has seen through the intimidating and dominating behaviours of the Indians and is trying to break free, to become a free sovereign state, with its own independent foreign policies.
Should Bhutan break free from India's vice grip, India would be left standing alone, without a friend among its neighbours. China would have effectively built a Great Wall of India around India, to keep it from bullying its neighbours.
India is not only losing friends in its immediate neighbourhood. Its policies of being friends and enemies of both side of the internal great power rivalry have led to mistrust of India by its friends and foes. Russia is not going to trust India anymore. Iran too would not trust India after being stabbed in the back in the recent war with Israel when India sided with Israel. The Americans and the West never trusted India and only think of using India as a pawn against China and Russia. India has to beg to be invited to the G7 meeting when it was originally left out from the invitation list. This showed where India is standing in the G7 club.
While China is building a Great Wall of India, India is also helping to build the same wall by antagonizing all its friends of convenience thinking that it can get away with playing both sides to its advantage while betraying them behind their backs. No one trust India anymore.
