Re: # 41

True... but the difference is - your Mullahs do not really have any control over the economy... but our commies still do have a control over our economy... and that is hurting us real bad... May be commies will wisen up someday - but india can`t really afford to waste any time, india can`t afford to wait until these dinosaurs to just die out...

According to some estimate- india needs to create some 10-12 million jobs a year for all the young folks that coming into the job market...

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?

[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.

How and why would a nuclear-armed Iran be in India`s national interests?

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.

``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.....:)

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: # 36

India will have a good road network very quickly, only if commies like-minded people allow the road building and investments to go on.... after an initial fast pace of road building, the pace has slowed down to a crawl after congress and commies came to power...

It looks like the mentally retarded communists and the mentally retarded jihadis are forging one grand alliance of retardation. One wont let you earn a living and the other wont let you live at all. God save us!!

Do you know who Ashok Mitra is?

He is one of the most ideological and hateful of the west bengal communists. He was the finance minister during the 70s when I lived in Calcutta. He single-handedly destroyed most of bengal`s industrial base. He supported violence against the ``enemies of the people`` - meaning anyone who wanted to do constructive work. In one family I know, the father committed suicide after he was repeatedly harassed and beatern at work. His crime - he was a manager of a small factory. The goverment did nothing - the goverment of ashok mitra and jyoti basu.

He still writes articles full of crazy anti-american non-logic. My guess is that he is mentally ill, I hope the situation of improvement in west bengal causes him a lot of pain.

If it is true that Shaukat Aziz and Manmohan Singh are sent by the US govt to govern these countries it means only one thing...and that is that US has very good intentions for the well being of poor souls of these nations.:) Just imagine US sending asome corrupt souls like Zia or Indira instead.:-)
