You really provide a great service to the world. I hope India can avoid past mistakes and promote a free, democratic Asia and world. At some point Xi will decide that India "has always been part of China," just like every other neighboring country. China and Russia have big plans to bring imperialism back, "with Chinese characteristics," and India is probably the only country that can stop them in the long run.

The US and Europe are in decline. I imagine the US will return to its isolationist ways sooner rather than later, especially if Asians stop taking our IOU's. India must build a coalition of other countries to stand up to Chinese bullying, or there will be yet another era of imperialism. The West foolishly believed Chinese lies and let them into the WTO. That was a mistake. China's exploitation of Western openness will end this era of trade and openness, but we are in a a Sudetenland moment. I so desperately hope Narendra has learned from Chamberlain's mistakes. The last thing the world needs is another world war.
