The law was proposed in march .

This law lays down that PRC (People Republic of China) shall set up markers on the boundary of China clearly as per the agreement with the neighbor and The PLA (People Liberation Army ) and Chinese people’s Armed police force will take the responsibility to protect and manage the Chinese border . This includes the construction of any permanent building in border regions . Even citizens and local organizations are mandated to protect and defend the border infrastructure, maintain security and stability of borders and cooperate with government agencies in maintaining border security.the law provides for the border to be sealed in the event of a war, armed conflict, incidents which threaten the security of border residents such as biological and chemical accidents, natural disasters, and public health incidents.

-
India’s main concern is that China is adopting an aggressive policy on the cost of border security . As per the global times along with the name of 15 places , four mountains, two rivers and open mountain pass were also shown in the map of China . Zhang Yongpan , an expert of border issue in Chinese Academy of Social science stated (As per the report of Global times ) Since the Zangnan area has been illegally occupied by India , and the Indian government has also established some illegal names in this area
-
India should immediately counter and strictly should give a message that any intervention in the sovereignty of India should never be tolerated .
-
Indian government should be too much alert regarding the illegal activities of the Chinese people near border area
-
Again in front of the world, we should say that we respect Buddha (Peace)as well as yuddha (War ).
Conclusion
Although Indians have been following the policy of peace and non violence but the non violence of India should not be understood as the cowardness. We are the followers of Ashoka , Who was the scratch follower of Buddhism but still he never compromised with the integration of his state . Even though we are the supporters of peace, peace would not be earned on the cost of sovereignty and integration of the country .
