Why this hu(e) and cry over stapled visas?

Dear Prime Minister Manmohanji,

Why are we making such a big deal about "stapled visas"? What does it matter if the Visa is stapled in one's passport or one's forehead? What is important is an entry in the Indian National's passport that the person visited China and returned. Both these events can be recorded by Indian Immigration Authorities.

The Chinese in some respects act like 5yr old bullies and have to be responded to with that in mind. Maybe an appropriate response is to issue stapled visas to all Chinese Nationals who visit India.

The real issue is that of sovereignty over areas belonging to India claimed by China. That has to be firmly stated and maintained by India.

Regards,
