In the realm of international affairs, particularly concerning India and China, there are no illusions or surprises anymore. Gone are the days of oversimplified views or blaming present leaders for events from decades ago. Relations between India and China have evolved beyond such simplistic characterizations or finger-pointing.

Jaishankar told PTI while responding to a question on the current state of India’s relations with China ‘My first duty to Indians is to secure the border. I can never compromise on that,

He said every country wants “good relations with its neighbours. Who doesn’t? But every relationship has to be founded on some basis.”

Both of us have bases some distance away, which is our traditional deployment place. And we want that normalcy,
