Foriegn Policy?

The Indian government would do great as a circus.It is full (or should I say fool) of Jokers. The cabinet positions are much respected positions.These positions deserve respect since the constitution vests that respect and power in those posts.Yet what can one do when those in that position have lost the respect.Those occupying the posts are seem unworthy.Unworthy people occupying that position itself is an insult to it.Today with emerging trend of party based politics, it is not easy to get those who loose respect of the nation to step down. Similarly it is difficult to keep an unworthy person from occupying the position.The current cabinet has lost my trust and respect and indeed my confidence.Unfortunately the common man cannot call for no-confidence motion, not that it would do any good, what with votes being put up for sale. There was a time until very recently when I respected Prime Minister of India, but recent actions have made me rethink about my position.The SAARC summit has just exposed them for what they really are, bunch of blundering baboons. I do not know what they are really thinking, or even if they are thinking at all. Perhaps they are thinking and have decided to sell out this country. My accusations might seem harsh, but that is what the evidence suggests. Is it not evidence that the judiciary wants? One blunder after another in our foriegn policy, or is it even a policy? A policy is a series of coordinated activities to achieve an aim.A drunken baboon would have a better body co-ordination. The ministry seems to have decided to make India a laughing stock for the world with their flip flops. Would the person making Indian foreign policy please stand up, and explain what the foreign policy actually is? Or is there any policy at all? Unless of course the policy is to isolate India in the international arena, and that the Chinese or the US are our new imperial rulers, ruling through the elite class of our country of course. Just like the corporate acquisition. Just the owners,'We the people', having no right to decide. As long as these elite rulers keep pleasing the imperials they get to keep power and accumulate wealth.
Resuming talks with Pakistan was just the icing on the cake. What are we trying to prove to the world? That India is weak country, which can be forced to go whichever way other countries want it to move? Every time we initiate talks with our wonderful and friendly neighbor , we end up having a terror strike. Is our ruling elite so naive to believe that just because it is got 'Pak' in its name, the country has pure intentions?A country that does everything it can to support anti-India terror groups in their land? One moment we make a statement that there shall be no talks unless Pakistan cracks down on its terror outfits. Next is a complete turnaround and India is suddenly ready for talks irrespective of whether Pakistan cracks down on terror outfits seeing as how well the Foreign Sec level talks went, or how the Pakistan government seems to be denying there to be any credible evidence against the terror outfits and Hafeez Saeed from Indian side. If they are refuting a credible evidence than that shows the Pakistan government is not at all interested in breaking down the anit-India terror activity, showing a clear nexus between the terrorists and the government.That means talks are useless, an indication that any anti-India activity will go unpunished and we will do whatever they want us to do.Resuming the talks shows that we have got no will power. We will succumb to pressure and that they continue with supporting terrorists. The Pakistan government is not at all credible.So why bother with talks if we know there is nothing to be achieved from such talks when our neighbors have no no will to resolve it amicably. If their interest is to destroy India, no talks will change that. On the other hand if the Indian government wants to say that Pakistan government has got honorable intentions concerning India, that means that our government is lieing to us and they have indeed not provided any credible evidence against the likes of Hafeez Saeed. That gives us the question what the hell is the Indian Government playing at.Do they think the people of India are fools? Either way the agreement to resume dialogue without any action against the anti-India terror activity by Pakistan government is failure of Indian foreign policy, giving out a clear signal that Pakistan can continue anti-India activity.So much for an aspiring superpower.You call that being assertive? Well unless of course India becomes a superpower by virtue of being a colony of some other superpower like China or USA.
Was this the only blunder? No. Just the latest in a series of well coordinated blunders.
South Asia which was once Indian sphere of influence since India was the largest and dominant country in the region is no more our sphere.It seems more under Chinese sphere.Nepal being the most glaring of examples.Nepal which was once like another de-facto state of India with every aspect of Nepal policy being decided by India is slowly but surely moving towards China. Prachanda, a person who is thoroughly anti-India and pro-China had become a PM of Nepal.Even after being forced to resign he continues to wield considerable influence over Nepal foreign policy.A person who is absolutely anti-India and considers India as enemy of Nepal gets elected as PM of a country which had once wanted to join India as a state shows that India has lost foot in Nepal.
Sri-Lanka which had once been convinced by India to accept the IPKF to deal with the LTTE menace and was nearly dependent on India for its weapons and equipment is now under Chinese influence, seeing the large amount of Chinese investment in the region. Pakistan is hands down Chinese. If the reports are to be believed then China is building a port in Pakistan.A naval port which shall also house Chinese warships.That with the nuclear power plants being built by China for Pakistan. The road network in POK.The arms facilities being built by the Chinese in Pakistan for Pakistan. Let us not forget how Pakistan got its first nuclear or the bomb building facilities.
How bout the failure of Indian diplomacy in Myanmar. The country which at one time was administered from India, was considered part of Indian colony.The Azad Hind government was truly thought to be established after the capture of the capital of this very country.Now it is a Chinese domain.
Bangladesh while truly not yet under Chinese has started showing resentment against India. The rise in disputes with India. The safe haven for anti-India activist in that country under the leadership of Khaleda Zia. The very country which was first granted recognition by India, and got recognition from other countries because of Indian advocacy for that country, not to mention that Pakistan granted recognition to Bangladesh because of the Shimla treaty between India and Pakistan.Lest we forget Bangladesh was formed because Indian military intervention and the aid to millions of refugees from East Pakistan.Considering the role of Indian the very existence of Bangladesh it is ridiculous to see that even Bangladesh seems to be drifting away from us.
Next comes Iran. I seriously am at loss as to the reason for distancing from Iran. A country which has been a strategic ally of India for so long.Actually I am sure I know why we have been going against Iran. Because the Prime Minister wishes to suck up to the US. Since US has vested interest in going against Iran, it means we have to go as well.It doesnt matter that Indian interests are best served going with Iran instead of against them.It has been the lone Indian voice in the OIC.The only supporter of India.It was Iran that has blocked anti-India resolutions moved by Pakistan in the OIC.It has supported Indian entry in the OIC against vehement Pakistani opposition. An Islamic country that has gone against other Islamic nations to defend India.Now it seems Iran which lost support from India is now gravitating towards China. Funnily the US is trying to garner support from Pakistan and doing whatever it can to help them. So we end up isolating Iran to please US and the US has no interest in growth of India. Voting against Iran at the IAEA just to please the US was a bit hypocritical. Considering that India itself had suffered from such discrimination from the US for developing Nuclear weapons, India should empathize with Iran and support their cause.India still suffers from discrimination. The US is pressurizing India to join the NPT as a non-nuclear nation.We oppose it stating that it is discriminatory. Why is it then we oppose Iran developing nuclear weapons? We argue that if US has a right to defend itself with nuclear weapons then so does India, since it has developed its own nuclear weapons. Then why don't we extend similar consideration for Iran. Are we not acting exactly like the US? Why did we vote against Iran? Why are we sucking up to our enemies like China, Pakistan and US and alienating our allies like the Russia or Iran.
China is using Indo-Pak rivalry to contain India. Why not use Sino-Japanese rivalry to contain China? If we have enemies so does China. We can establish ties with ROC(Taiwan), South-Korea, Japan.We could establish our presence in that region by establishing good ties with North and South Korea. If China can pull our traditional allies like Nepal away from us, we can pull away North Korea from China.The largest trade partner in SAARC nations is not India but China. As a matter of fact China is one of the largest trade partners of India too. What is next? China becoming largest defence manufacturer for India?Why is there confusion about whether or not Chinese soldiers are entering Indian territory.There is complete lack of coordination. Some say Chinese are slowly taking control of Indian territory and crossing the border,others are saying that it is not the case and whatever is happening is because of difference in perception of the border.Please let us know what the case is.
The other blunder is in Africa. Africa is a resource rich continent. While all countries are competing to get a share of those resources, India as usual is busy with blunders. China is well ahead of India with the aids and investment in Africa. We are talking about competing with China and being the world superpower.We need to invest in African nations. We need to get control over as much resources in Africa as possible to drive our own economy in the future. We need to control imports and promote exports. Yet is seems our government has been unable to achieve any of that.The person who had been establishing good ties with African nations has been scaked. Granted that he has been controversial, but he is the one we need to make inroads in Africa diplomatically.I am talking about Mr. Tharoor. Yet another example of failed foreign policy.
The series of blunders do not end there.India moving towards US. We may think that we are very important for the US but we are sorely mistaken.We are just pawns of US expansionist policy.Pakistan is more important to US than India. I would not be surprised if US gives in to the demand for a nuclear deal for Pakistan as well.US is already providing lots of aid to Pakistan.It is for Pakistani war against terror.If that is indeed the case why is Pakistan receiving weapons which are useless against the Taliban but useful against India? Why are all these weapons ending up on Indian border?The other non-Taliban terror outfits which co-incidentally are anti-Indian are running rampant. So we finance the weapons for Pakistan, our enemy.We purchase weapons from the US at high prices with low quality. These profits are used to finance weapons for Pakistan. As Pakistan acquires more weapons we spend more money to acquire more equipment from US to counter Pakistan. This is a never ending cycle.Pakistan gets free weapons to use against India sponsored by India.Some would call that treachery.Are the government officials turning traitors?The nuclear liability bill is another one traitorous bill by the government. I do hope that it is never passed.The US is insisting that India pass the bill quickly so that US firms can enter the Indian market fast, since with other countries entering the market already and having already concluded few agreements, the US firms feel left back.Well if they do not want to enter without the Nuclear Liability Bill, let them not.It should not be our concern.Considering the outrageous provisions of the bill, it is not in our best interests.To know the outrageous details of this bill please visit the following site.

Which sane Indian would want to support this bill.


Mr.Singh is known for his economic prowess. He liberalized Indian economy.He worked for the World Bank.His knowledge is something to be respected.His simplicity of life and conduct is worth respecting. It is worth mentioning that even though he is PM of India, his family has never tried to use that position to hog the limelight like other politicians family.For all those commendable qualities, one cannot help but ask these questions.What the hell is up with Indian foreign policy? Who the hell is framing the policy if anyone at all and why are they messing up?Are they selling out our nation? It seems like Mr. Singh is incompetent at his job or just going senile with age because the last remaining possibility for such a messed up foreign policy of Mr.Singh's government is a terrible one. The possibility of treachery.
It seems that Indian future is doomed. On one hand we have the Mr.Singh led governement. On the other hand we have the BJP which is a pro US party too and a highly communal one at that. The third option is the Left parties led by CPM. A pro China party, one which I would hardly term progressive. The last option is the fourth front.The less said about this front, the better. It is a party of hooligans.The RJD , the BSP and the SP. Highly regressive,narrow minded, casteist', uneducated corrupt and self obsessed group members.They have been unable to develop the states they are in power. So I doubt they would of help to the country. Lack of good options seems will be the cause of the doom. We really need a good 5th option.Unless there is a rise of another option for the voters, an option which is interested in growth of India, our future seems bleak. Let us hope that there is no formation of Islamic Republic of India, as envisaged by the ISI anytime soon.I do not know about the rest of the people of our country but personally I would not want to stay in Islamic Republic of India. I would rather it stayed secular and independent of foreign forces.Therefore I would like to ask Mr. PM what do you think you are doing agreeing to talk with our sweet neighbors while they refuse to crack down on anti-India militants.As a citizen of this country, which fortunately is a democracy, I think the PM and his cabinet is answerable to me and my fellow countrymen about where they seem to be leading my country.Mr. PM, you are supposed to be caretakers of my country, the trustees trustees of this country.Yet I find it hard to trust you or your cabinet.This is my personal opinion and while others may not agree with me, this government has lost my faith and trust, not that they would care as long as they retain their power.
