" India should never trust China "
Is India scared of China's military might and aggressive posturing ?
At least, so it seems. Why does it not retaliate when China makes incursions
into Arunachal Pradesh and Ladhhak ? It calls AP as south Tibet. Aksai
Chin ( 9 38,000 sq km ) remains under its unauthorized occupation for
50 years. China's population is 134 crores and India's 124 crores. Former's
troop strength ( 22 lakh) is double that of India ( roughly 11 lakhs).Now,
China is advising India whom to befriend and whom to ignore. India's
growing proximity to Japan , Vietnam and south Korea angers China. India
must endeavour to create its own "string of pearls" around
China. No point relying on Russia in the aftermath of Crimean crisis.
It is gravitating toward China. No resolution of land disputes with
China seems in sight in the years to come. India has to remain ever
vigilant and maintain the status quo through military and nuclear deterrence.
Incursion by PLA must be thwarted.

Addition and deletion of names in the agreed list
Applicant sought information as to how his name was put on the
agreed list and how was it removed. The First Appellate Authority
(FAA) directed the PIO to furnish relevant documents after duly
suppressing the identity of complaint(s)/official(s). The Public
Information Officer (PIO) filed an appeal against the FAA order.
The Central Information Commission (CIC) observed that the Agreed
List is admittedly a confidential information, rather a critically
confidential information, held by the public authority in its
role as a third party within the provisions of Section 124 of
the Indian Evidence Act. The CIC held that confidentiality of
the Agreed List is critical for the success of the management
decisions about key assignments to its employees, lest for want
of reflection on the background, character and conduct of specific
officers, management hands over sensitive assignments into undeserving
hands whose actions may be injurious both to the public authority
as well as to the public interest. The CIC upheld the denial of
information by the PIO.
Comments
In the case of Sudesh Kumar v. Customs & Central Excise in
Appeal No.CIC/AT/A/2007/00229, the CIC had ruled that "Agreed
List" are not disclosable. After a person's name has been
deleted from the agreed list, there would be little ground to
deny information to the concerned person.
