China's New Games on Kashmir

The Chinese have suddenly stopped stamping the passports of Indians from Kashmir, instead now only stamping a separate piece of paper. They used to only do this for Indians from Arunachal Pradesh, but now they're doing it for Kashmir as well.

India needs to start doing the same for anyone coming from Tibet.

Chinese up to their old tricks. Unfortunately nobody in the Indian government really cares. They will make some customary noise and then hope that people will forget about these issues.

Look at what google is doing: Marking Arunanchal Pradesh as a disputed territory in its wordwide portal, as a Chinese Territory for their China portal and as an Indian territory for google india portal. This is based on the "official position of the country for which these portals are localized for" http://www.indianexpress.com/news/in-google-china-map-arunachal-is-in-china/531277/

None of this is going to change, unless our politicians (in tamil there is a nice word for that "அரசியல்வியாதிகள்") and bureaucrats start growing some backbone.
There is another news saying that government is planning to ban Skype and other IP based calls, because, skype and other service providers are not ready to share their algorithm with GoI which will help us to identify the location/caller. But the same SPs have shared this with other governments, I dont know why hesitate with GoI? Just take it granted?
