PUBLICATION: NoATTRIBUTION: Source in New Delhi SOURCE DESCRIPTION: Well-connected guy in Indian policy, military, financial circles SOURCE Reliability : B ITEM CREDIBILITY: 2 SPECIAL HANDLING: N/A SOURCE HANDLER: Reva On a macro view – no these protests were not planned to be violent. Yes, this year was a bit different – like a bubble which has been building up; but also China’s global role vis a vis the Olympics played a role. To my 2 cents, there is no sign of India’s involvement – if you were to look, India has been squirming to get an official reaction out. India does not want any China-related issue to be raised – the government is too reticent to bring any India-China issue away from the “dialogue”.
