After reading the comments from my fellow indian I am absolutely certain that this is a story that is planted deliberately by some Jernail Bootlicker who khows the Chowk editor personally.

``After these revelations of Dr. Ashok Mitra, we have become still more confident in our opinion that the Kargil Operation was also an essentially American-European Project. ``

The khurafaat of these conspiracy theorists become manifold when the Marxist Conspiracy Theorists join hands with the Islamist Conspiracy Theorists.

What a laughable thesis presented. This looks like a planted story on the chowk to misguide gullible people.

For a moment lets forget the premise that MMS is appointed by US. What are the achievements of the prior 40 yrs of government`s that are appointed by Indians. I would say there are very few. For any 10 accomplishments they have 100 disastrous policies. All this talk of MMS being appointed by US is peddled by the communists and fueled by the disgruntled ex and current congress politicians.

If you look back into late 80`s and early 90`s the country was in shambles because of the mindless policies of VP Singh and Chandrasekhar. These so called secular and independent political leaders tore apart the country in the name of reservations and pseudo secularism.

The last 14 yrs have been really great for India compared to any other 14 years in independent India`s history.

Re: # 22

Romair:

Believe it or not I knew you would ask me, as I was typing this. Only Indira Gandhi could have put Nixon on the other side of the table, Morarji Desai who was her contemporary was too much of a Gandhian, pro-west to have played Nixon and Brehznev. I heard Kissinger on ABC`s nightline on the night of her death, telling Ted Koppel that she really pro-Indian, not pro-west or pro-Soviet. He also acknowledged that she personally aced her way with both super powers of the time.

This game was essential, unless India was to go and help Bangladeshis for loose.

I have absolutely no doubt about MJ Akbar`s thesis. All empirical and circumstancial evidence attests to its voracity.

The most interesting aspect is the way Indian media and propaganda machinery feeds the pro-US-ism thru movies, sitcoms etc. to its general public. It is almost identical to how it is done in Pakistan. At least in Pakistani media, the CIA has been spending handsome amount of dollars since 1979, for obvious reason of Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and Revolution in Iran, but in case of India it makes me wonder whether baniya is doing all that at his own expense or it comes from washigton?

Ref bulleya #22

[anil #19: ``Regarding Indira Gandhi, do you think Morarji Desai would have delivered Bangladesh``

could you explain this in more detail.........]

Easy. This is the standard line of the Nehru-Indira Gandhi-Rajiv Gandhi-Sonia Gandhi chamchas.

``NEW DELHI: India has curiously kept its silence over a reported comment by a former US disarmament official, Stephen Rademaker, who said India was ``coerced`` into voting against Iran at the IAEA in 2005.

The remarks, which raised the spectre of the political minefield that India walked through in those days, are certain to create a political storm yet again as the government heads into a session in Parliament hoping to keep their Communist allies quiet.

US ambassador David Mulford, however, issued a statement denying Rademaker`s contention.

He said, ``It has always been the US position that India will make decisions on the Iran issue based on its own national interests.

We respect the government of India`s decisions on this matter.``(AP)

Of course -- ``It has always been the US position that India will make decisions on the Iran issue based on its own national interests``-- as the heavy-water boy for the National Interests of the United State -- what is good for Uncle Bush is good for Nephew Pranab and Chacha Shaukat Singh.

``We respect the government of India`s decisions on this matter.`` -- even though it is in favor of US National Interest.....:)

Harimau:

You cannot blame Nehru for the delays he achieved institutionalization of democracy, education as the foundation for India, and independence for your generation to excel. Do you honestly believe India would have gotten all the foreign direct investment for its needs in those days, when the competition was submissive Japan, S. Korea and Taiwan?

Regarding Indira Gandhi, do you think Morarji Desai would have delivered Bangladesh and ensure long term stability for is now emerging as India. Nixon had to be put on the otherside of the table to implement and she did it. No other Indian leader of the time could have done.

Apply integral calculas on Indian scene, there can be only one conclusion India was blessed to have leaders who rose to the ocassion. I only wish, Pakistan also blessed with such leaders. What Sadna calls invest in flow of hatred, would have been miniscule.

Chalthai:

Dr. Asoke Mitra lost his credibility long ago, and has now lost his marbels also. Dr. Mitra and company not only messed up the largest industrial in India or the time, but also delayed thru his cohorts in planning commission the advent of market economy, through command control economy.

Dr. Man Mohan Singh is a class act in himself. There is some thing common about communists and fundamentalists (Islamic all others), that they see and write a mathemtically tight hypothesis of conspiracies in every thing. Even Shaukat Aziz would call it such an honor to be compared to MMS, it is too big a favor to put the two in the same league. If MMS can remain active for two more elections, India`s market reforms will be complete, and its postion in the region and the world will be unchallenged.

With an American stooge in power in India, we produce nearly a million cars (of various foreign makes) with modern technology, export several tens of thousands of them, sell the rest of them to Indians. We also make and sell about two million two-wheelers. And our forex reserves have reached $184 billion. Our students get jobs immediately after graduation that pay them more than what their fathers earned at the end of their 30-year career, both in numbers and in purchasing power.

With a Russian stooge (Nehru, Indira Gandhi) in power, we produced less than 35,000 1954-vintage cars in India, one made a deposit on a car and waited 7 years for delivery and a Lambretta scooter couldn`t be had for love or money. And our forex reserves went so low we had to ship our gold holdings to the Bank of England before we were given a loan to tide us over the crisis.

Looks like American stooges are far better than Russian stooges anyday.

Re: # 8
A hallmark of all genuine idiots is their delusional persistence in face of reality. So, for them, it is India that requested US intervention on Kargil and a very neighborly Nawaz Sharif flew to Washington to meet Clinton on the US independence day! He of course couldn`t delay for 24 hours because that would have meant death of more Indian soldiers from cold and hunger. Yes, fellas, stay just like that only for a few years again and Indians won`t have to worry about your being there as a nation.
