stapled visa for Arunachal Pradesh residents- goodwill gesture

The Chinese have bowled a googly at the new government in India. So far there is no response from our govt. They are cleverly sayong that it is a favour they are granting to J&K and Arunachal Pradesh residents if they want to travel to China instead of not granting them a visa at all. Self respect or Trade is the choice.

Please pardon my ignorance, but what exactly is a stapled Visa and how does it affect a person's ego??

I would like to know the same thing.

Generally the embassy of a particular foreign country in India will stamp a visa permission on the page of the passport of a Indian wanting to travel that foreign country. The Chinese are issuing the visa on a slip of paper to persons of J&K and Arunachal Pradesh and attaching it by a staple on their visa. It is not hurting the person's ego. It is the fact that China does not recognize these states as part of Indian Union. It is thus hurting the country's ego. Stamped visas are issued to persons of Pak occupied Kashmir.

Oh is that so! It is indeed a matter of great chagrin and we must vehemently refuse such stapled visas. At the same time, it also shows how grave a concern this could become for us in the immediate future, for it is an open challenge of disproving our defined borders!

The Chinese have bowled a googly at the new government in India. So far there is no response from our govt. They are cleverly sayong that it is a favour they are granting to J&K and Arunachal Pradesh residents if they want to travel to China instead of not granting them a visa at all. Self respect or Trade is the choice.

A toddler also can say that the Chinese cunning foreign policy about stapled visas will remain as it is. India never accepted the Stapled Visa system. Earlier governments done precious little in this regard. Anyhow, the talks are in progress with the new government.

It is not fair to say that earlier governments have done nothing about it. One has to accept that these are long drawn diplomatic battles which are not easy to solve especially when the adversary is much mightier than you. A bitter fact but a real fact.

There were protests. But never could solve the stalemate.

The outstanding issues with China will call for skillful handling as it may involve redefining certain border areas - as per Chinese claims.

It's time to counter the Chinese claims. The onus is on the new government.

But they have been countered all these years. Why can not India start issuing stapled visas to Chinese residents of Tibet?

They were not countered but protested. Any how, news says that talks are inconclusive. Let's wait.

Chances are the issue will be sidelined to increase trade as government wants GDP to grow.

Possible. After sidelining the issue every time they come up with the stock phrase, "Talks are in progress."

Actually they consider some parts of Arunachal Pradesh and Ladakh as part of China. So why issue visa to own citizens. Once, C.M. of Arunachal Pradesh was denied visa. after denial, Chinese embassy authorities told the C.M. that he could visit China whenever he liked. He needed no visa as no country would give visa to own citizens. Thus, stapled visa is definitely a compromise.

However, I wish to know the position of residents in Pak occupied Kashmir. Will our government issue visa to them? This is just for curiousity.

I think both sides of Kashmiris visit the other part of Kashmir in buses after getting visas.

Why should we imagine the things, when the proceedings of the meet are in inconclusive stage? Let's wait for the completion of the meeting.
