Asian Century

Asia is a dangerous geography. In fact, India is more threatened by Asian entities than by any other country. The sloganeering of the Asian Century reminds me of the experiment of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. Nations of the world are ruthless in imposing their interests and culture on others. The rise of Asia is okay for India only when it is able to have a balancing strength by virtue of its own economic, military, and cultural capabilities. Otherwise, Asia would be a perilous zone for India. The only thing Indians should endeavour for is India's present and future, not for something like the misleading idea of the Asian Century.
