evidence: Tsundue said there is a tendency in India to play down the Chinese incursion into Ladakh and the focus here is more on entertainment like movie and cricket. He said while the establishment often portrays as if nothing serious has happened and people in the mainland do not have any knowledge, the actual issue remains a serious one. He said China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) have been making efforts to enter the Indian territory through Ladakh. The poet-activist said Shipki La is perhaps turning out to be the next theatre of Chinese aggression. He regretted that India has always remained blind towards the huge Himalayan region. He said Indian writing never focuses on the Himalayan region and hence there is a tendency to take the Chinese incursions on a light note. Tsundue had spent three years in Chinese prison after he was intercepted by PLA border men while trying to sneak into Tibet. He was tortured and never succeeded to visit Tibet thereafter. He said New Delhi should have perceived China as an enemy instead of a strategic partner. The man has been undergoing a trial in an eight-year-old case in Bangalore related to protest on the Tibetan issue.
