Dear Amatya Rakshas,
The first understanding of a nation's existence is in identifying its external enemy. (sometimes this identification can take two forms - immediate enemy and eternal enemy). Take for instance Japan during the second World War. Japan fought with China on the one hand and the U.S. on the other. In terms of who its main enemy who threatened Japan's existence is easy for you to identity. It was the United States. Why China was not its main enemy is not only because China was militarily weak then but that China and Japan has for centuries lived in relative peaceful co-existence.
This is the same principle that applies to China when you recon who would be the existential threat to China. Not India in the least.
Actually Kanchi Paramacharya taught this to Dr.Subramanian Swamy! Ask him if it was true or not.
By the way, the fall of Hindu empire to the Islamic hoards was because of non-apprehension and or failing to appreciate the dangers of external threat.

I see your point Savithri-ji, but I'm still skeptical. Lets see, only time will tell. <img src='http://www.india-forum.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':unsure:' />
