In 1975, Sikkim was annexed by India. Bhutan, as a neighboring country, is not stupid. The Bhutan are a country established by Tibetans after migration. Bhutan and Tibet have the same culture and ethnicity. Bhutan is very different from India, both in culture and ethnicity. Bhutan's diplomacy and military are controlled by India. The British Empire left Bhutan, but Bhutan have to meet the Indians who have no bottom line. The key is that the per capita GDP of Tibet is five more times that of India. As a result, Indians covet the land of Tibet every day and say that they want to liberate Tibet. In the eyes of other countries, it is similar to North Korea saying that it wants to rescue Americans out of poverty.

They allowed Tibet the authority to govern themselves, but make no mistake, sovereignty was still Chinas. Thats the difference between sovereignty and "control". And once the last Chinese Dynasty came to an end, there was an imperial edict (what we call treaty nowadays) that stated that sovereignty over Tibet was to be handed over to the next "China". Ie it was continuous. Everything was enshrined in law. That is why Tibet wanting to be their own little country was illegal. China rightfully took back control when they violated the law first.

We cannot talk about Bhutan without talking about Sikkim. Like Bhutan, Sikkim was an independent Himalayan Buddhist kingdom many hundreds of years old and a neighbor of China. Sikkim was briefly overrun by the Nepalese Gorkhas during the 18th century. The Sikkim king fled to China and asked for help. The then Qianlong emperor dispatched an expedition force to Sikkim and expelled the Gorkhas and restored Sikkim's sovereignty and independence. Sikkim was left unmolested for the rest of its history until it was gobbled up by the artificial country India in 1975. Chinese of older generations were taught that Sikkim was one of China's neighbors. Even student in Taiwan (Republic of China) were taught Sikkim was one of China's neighbors until a couple of decades ago. Bhutan is very similar to Sikkim in terms of ethnicity, language, religion and culture and history, only that it is bigger. Bhutan is in a precarious situation right now because it is the next low hanging fruit in India's expansionism and is currently militarily occupied by India. The reason I wrote this here is to educate the people in the world what is going on in that part of the world and stop indulging India, a country that is up to no good.

@@TAUNDER. Provide safety for what? Bhutan is a neighbor of China for many hundreds of years before the artificial country India even existed. Who was providing safety for Bhutan then? I am not going to mince words. The reason Bhutan is occupied by India militarily is because India has territorial design on Bhutan and the first step to gobble up Bhutan is to totally control it. This is the reason India is so allergic for Bhutan having diplomatic countries with most countries. Please do not lie. India is not providing billions of dollars aid to Bhutan. India debt trapped Bhutan for its infrastructure projects. I read from a Bhutanese India's interest rate to Bhutan is 10%, two and a half times the rate of international norm.

It seems to be a trend of China's massive militarisation. Almost every border of neighbours, even on the sea, Chinese military is rapidly militarising. The only neighbour it doesn't militarise... is Russia, but that wasn't a surprise given Russia's status as China's minor partner.

Two out of the best 3 space agencies of the World (Russia/USA/China) said India did not land on Moon's South Pole. 1) NASA specifically said "The Chandrayaan-3 landing site is located about 600 kilometers from the Moon’s South Pole.". This is just another diplomatic way of saying India did not land on Moon's South Pole. If India had landed on on Moon's South Pole, NASA would have simply said that "The Chandrayaan-3 landing site is located at the Moon’s South Pole" instead of "The Chandrayaan-3 landing site is located about 600 KILOMETERS FROM the Moon’s South Pole. 2) Dr Ouyang Ziyuan, lauded as the father of China’s lunar exploration programme, told the Chinese-language Science Times newspaper that the Chandrayaan-3 landing site, at 69 degrees south latitude, was nowhere close to the pole, defined as between 88.5 and 90 degrees.

I really do not see any issues with these settlements. As far as India supporting the Russian land grab in Ukraine, and rejecting the land in punjab for sheiks , I would not have any issue with this minor village in this small corner of the world. It’s really not a big deal. India is complaining for no reason. This has no impact on the India people . The Indian should worry more about protecting women and not parading naked teens on the streets. They should also take back their people who have immigrated out, and give them the punjab if this little corner of a tiny country matters.

The Iranian can apply as an immigrant to go and live in his/her supposedly ancestoral land in India but if the application is successful, he/she will be a citizen of Indian. India won't be turned into Persia unless it's occupied by a large number of Iranians through the use of force and genocide!
