Will there be another cold war ????

                           
NOTE: The things I have written here is my personal feeling and it might not be perfect and true in all respects.   

Cold war is a very popular term which means war with 2 countries without direct involvement of military or weapons, but in terms of economic competition, political conflict and many other ways which always builds tension between two countries. Whenever we think of "cold war", the first thing that comes to our mind is cold war between USA and USSR (Russia) after the World War II. Today there is no such cold war between those countries and possibility of it beginning again between them is very scarce. Still there is a possibility of cold war, this time not between USA and Russia, but between two emerging super powers India and China. The developments in the past few years have made me feel that there is a possibility of such cold war in near future.

Here are the few reasons why I feel there would be a cold war.

* China is indirectly questioning India's right on Kashmir and Arunachal Pradesh by terming both regions as disputed land. Recently China didn't grant visa to an Indian army official giving a reason that he is from Kashmir. Similarly, India is indirectly questioning China's right on Tibet by giving shelter to Dalai Lama and supporting them to form a democratic Tibetian government in exile.

* Both India and China are trying to control government in Nepal so that it is favourable to them. Because of this Nepal has failed to elect a prime minister successfully even after many rounds of elections. 

* There is a doubt on China funding Pakistan for its fight against India and also to the naxals.

* China hackers are attacking networks of Indian security agencies. India is also suspecting that high end technological products imported from may be used for spying against it.

* India and China are competing to build an oil and gas pipeline with Iran.

There are still many facts which are creating tension between the two countries. But, out of all these differences both countries are extending each other the hands of co-operation in many fields which is a positive step towards avoiding future cold war. I wish both huge economies of the world get rid of all their differences and move together to become super powers of future out-performing the US and European countries.
