gfjhjh asked, Why not surrender AP to China?
Tapir Gao,MP from Arunachal II answers, at 2008-01-31 16:51:20AP cannot be surrendered to China because ,since Time Immemorial, AP territory hasn't any relation with China in trade and commerce and in culturally .AP was self governed by traditional village heads, which is still maintained in some of the districts and AP has no any common language with China.More affinity of AP is towards India culturally and mythologically.
