[IAC#RG] Is India ready for War ?

I agree that at times of national crisis all parties and people will unite. However the ' Emotional' aspect apart the war will inflict a body blow to Indian economy and the Poor will pay for it. Moreover militarily and in defence infra (access roads for troop movement etc) China has far greater strength than India.
Rather than the issue of 'whether' India should have 'fist to fist' with china, the real issue is of 'when' - the timing. It is certainly not in our favour right now.
We should not forget that a far greater insult to national pride was inflicted when Pakistan gifted to China a large portion of Kashmir few decades back. We do not even speak about it at Govt level. If India was to fight back with China, then it had far more substantive reason to do so at that time. We are also embarrassed with Tibet issue and do not even allow protest by Tibetians in India in order not hurt feelings of china.
China has much larger plans to swallow large chunk of NE region and we will be playing into their game if we fire the first bullet now.
China is our far greater enemy than Pakistan. We need to keep our heads cool and focus on making our country economically strong and then take on the might of China.

First of all such a patriotic discussion on a platform of a controversial entity, IAC#RG have

kept me away but compelled to write few lines in reply to Shrikant ji's comment below:

    If war with China will be disastrous then what would you and others who think like you

    say about war with Bangladesh and Pakistan? Just because, many of us have no respect

    for the Sonia-Manmohan-Rahul regime that does not mean we are not united to fight any

    territorial challenge our country will face and pour our support to government and military.

War with China will be disastrous to India. Our leadership at Delhi may appear to be weak, but at least in this aspect,they are right. There is a method in madness of China. India is Internally weak (due to corruption, indecisiveness, political turmoil ...) and this is the decisive factor in external issues.
