一帶一路 | 印度統治精英的四種立場（下）

第三派占印度統治精英的絕大多數，主張走中間路線。第四派是印度左派政黨和“同路”的知識份子，他們基於中國是社會主義國家而親中，認為社會主義國家決不犯錯誤。由於印度西孟加拉邦是左派堡壘，該邦民間親華情緒最濃，是名歌Hindi　Cheeni　Bhai　Bhai(印度中國是兄弟)的發祥地。

The third party account for the vast majority of the India’s governing elites who advocate the ‘Middle way’. The fourth party form by the Left Party and who the same idea of the Left Party. The fourth party are friendly to China because they believe that China is a socialist country and the socialist country will never make mistakes. Since the West Bengal is the concentration area of the Left Party, the people there treat Chinese most friendly and this area is also the birthplace of a famous song ‘Hindi　Cheeni　Bhai　Bhai’.

第一和第二派之間從性惡、性善毫釐之差而失之千里。前者循著西方地緣政治思路，認為中國強大之後必然擴張侵略。“緊鄰效應”也是酵母菌。印度人和中國人一樣，一方面有“遠親不如近鄰”，另一方面，鄰居欠和必然產生競爭、妒嫉、猜疑、害怕。西方可以有淡如水、“老死不相往來”的鄰居關係，東方鄰居卻非友即敵。中印之間打過一仗，印度比中國多受些傷害，所以第一派可以視為歷史的產物。

There is a saying that ‘one false step will make a great difference’. This reflects on the differences between the first party and the second party because these two parties hold different views on whether human heart is born good or bad. The former party follows the principles of western geopolitical theories and consider that China will inevitably expand and aggress if it becomes stronger. ‘Neighbor Effect’ is also the reason that makes Indian regards China’s development is a threat to them. Indian are similar to Chinese, on the one hand, they believe that ‘a near neighbor is better than a distant cousin’. On the other hand, the disharmony between neighbors will inevitably give rise to competition, jealousy, suspicion and fear. In western countries, the neighbors could cut off from each other and never visit each other all their lives while in the east, you are either with your neighbors or against your neighbors. We mentioned before that China and India had a battle in the past and the injury that Indian suffered was more than Chinese. So we could regard the first party as the outcome of this historical battle.
