Let's go for it.

Today the whole world is aware of the humongous power of the Asian continent where according to the economists GDP rises by more than 5% every year and the continent which fosters powerful nations like India and China. But in this continent something harsh is contemporarily going on. 

The relationship between different nations is festering. Although this has been a problem for many years but now with the bellicose China, Terrorist producing Pakistan and other conflicts in different nations of the continent have exaggerated the difference which has led to the situation which was prevalent during the World War 1 and has jeopardized the whole continent into peril.

During the World–War 1 Britain and Germany went to war despite of the fact that they were interdependent on each other for growth and economy and the same thing is taking place in the today’s Asia. The fault lacunae have risen today because of the misalignment of the political relationships between the Asian countries. Today Asian countries are bounded with each other in the terms of economy and trade but politically on various issues especially border issues which have not been sorted out and sent into graves , the countries are in a position that’s not very much different from the conditions conducive to the World War-III. Today the whole world’s spotlight on Asia’s soaring and unbounded economy has distracted the attention of people from the internal matters which vex the whole Asian continent.

Only economy will not be able to take the continent forward. Economy as well as politics is indispensable to take the continent forward but with rising arguments and clash of opinions between the nations of the continent its becoming difficult and difficult to take the continent forwards.

For example- China and Japan. China and Japan, both the nations continue to argument over the ownership of Senkaku/Diaoyu islands.
Japan’s still formidable lead in technology allows it to provide much of the production machinery in Chinese factories and many of the core components in Chinese-made products that have helped make China’s rise possible. Japan’s struggling electronics companies, in turn, have become dependent on sales to China’s lower-cost manufacturers, which use Japanese memory chips, display panels and other parts in many of their high-tech products.
The iPhone is just one example. Although the phones are assembled in China, many of their most sophisticated parts are supplied by Japanese companies like Toshiba and TDK. Japanese content is so high that there were even calls during the recent anti-Japan protests to boycott the iPhone, according to Japanese news reports.
Beyond that, low-priced Chinese goods have become an important part of coping in economically stagnant Japan, embraced by consumers weary of declining wages and living standards.
Both the nations are interdependent on each other but still they clearly and vehemently oppose each other’s stance on the ownership of the Senkaku Islands which has raised many challenges. Even India’s more than half sea trade is possible due to the waters of this island and the whole Asia depends on this important island directly or indirectly. If trade is barred from this island then the whole Asia would have to suffer from the consequences that ensue.
We can take the next issue of China and India. For a very long time China has been at dispute with India on border issues. China continues to exert its ownership on the state of Arunachal Pradesh which is an integral part of India. People of India are very much disappointed the denizens of India which are very much harassed and antagonized by the issues with China and intrusion of Chinese military in the Indian Territory illegitimately. These things have exaggerated the problems between the two nations which can lead to severe problems in the long run.
Such problems will definitely stop the development of the whole continent. Today we need to fill the lacunae developed in the whole continent’s politics and bridge the gap between the nations by taking a proactive approach towards it. Today we need to realize the onus on our shoulder.

Jai Hind, Jai Bharat

Jai Ma Bharti.
