NS: I heard China is claiming Arunachal Pradesh. Why so?
RR: Sir, it is observed that Arunachal Pradesh was earlier considered part of larger Tibet region culturally. Earlier we did not have boundaries but frontiers. But when British demarcated it, the Arunachal Pradesh became part of India.

NS: What was historical position of Tibet?
RR: Sir, I faintly remember that in 1913-14, there was a
pact that said that any decision regarding Tibet should be taken in
consultation with Chinese Government.
NS: How do you see Indian government supporting government
in exile of Tibet? Shouldn’t this make China angry?
RR: Sir, it is natural for China but it has been
longstanding position of India that it supported people and there aspirations
everywhere. It has been the position of India even before independence. What is
important is the kind of support. India will always support peacefully but will
never support militarily or forcefully.
NS: What was the position before independence?
NS: So, tomorrow if China interferes in Nagaland and Assam,
should we tolerate?
RR: Sir, China may interfere sir, but China itself will
realize that it will be of no use. We are already in dialogue with the people
there. People have also reaslised that armed methods are of no use for
development. So, even if China interferes, it will not be a problem.
NS: See J&K is also a problem. We always talk of a UN
resolution about it. What was that resolution?
RR: Sir, I faintly remember that the resolution asked to
find and follow the aspirations of the people but also only after restoration
of the original conditions.
