The approach of 'I should solve this dispute in my lifetime' will not work in the India-China border issue, said RSS leader Ram Madhav, arguing that any "hurry" in finding a solution to the long-standing wrangling won't help in dealing with a "cultural nation" like China.
Launching a book, "China Bloodies Bulletless Borders" by Colonel Anil Bhatt, VSM (retired), detailing the troubled Indo-China relationship since the 1962 war between the two nations, Mr. Madhav said one should not make it an "issue of legacy" as no one knows who will solve the issue eventually.
“Do you know the great border dispute between the then Soviet Union and China was solved by a thoroughly drunken leader called Boris Yeltsin (first Russian president). Now, who would have imagined that Yeltsin would finally resolve that issue. He did. It went to his credit,” said Mr. Madhav on Tuesday.
