As a presidential election was held in India recently I thought this article had something to do with it. But apparently "President" means the U.S. President to many Indians!
US and India are not the only counries where Chinese indulge in significant subversion. Indian leaders (including non-communists) practically eat out of the hands of Chinese leaders.
Pakistan has practicallyy become a client regime loyal (to the extent a nation protituting itself to highest bidders) China, Saudi Arabia and to a lesser extent of US.
Sudan is able to thumb its nose on world and continue the genocide of black muslims thanks to support of Chinese junta (and Arabian governments).
Bangladesh is well on its way to become another client of China and has already been promised nuclear power technology (you know who the ultimate beneficiary of nuclear bombs will be) just like Pakistan to perpetually tie down India on both sides and into a dead alley called SAARC, where Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh will definitely bat for China and against India.
Propping up Obamma seems to me a similar project of mohammadan brotherhood, something like of which created a possibility of british pricess Diana becoming mother of a child from a Mohammad Al-Fayd, which probably led to her 'accidental death'.
The fact that educated and logical people can still write and publish is a saving grace for the down the toilet site like rediff should be considered a saving grace.
However, in the long term, Rediff is on an unstoppable journey to worthlessness. And it will have no one to blame for its own attitude that presupposes its readers are morons.
I think that you have brought some excellent points. The big question is whether the Indian leadership will ever do anything other than trying to hold on to their position and rob the common man.
I fully agree that for Americans, the USA comes first and that is always their first priority. They cannot be bought off as pathetically cheaply as the Indian "leaders".
What a shame. All we can do is try to see if we can make difference.
The piece highlights this fact. It is common knowledge in the International arena. How do we manage it? We should put it in Ripley's Believe it or Not- A Nation of One billion, the largest market in the world, the Seventh largest country in the world and USD one trillion plus economy; counts for nothing! It should wake up anyone, but the world goes around as if we don't matter at all. We must,like the earth which supports us but demands nothing, consider our collective consciousness as mud. Even after 60 years of independence we are in deep slumber. It is time that ordinary citizens assert their dignity rather than wait for our nation to wake up and do something about it.

so Rediff, should we now expect a barrage of rants from well-known anarchists, naxalites, jnu terrorists rights' brigade (all Rediff's in-house propagandists) to abuse Rajeev Srinivasan ? He has just done a cardinal sin of exposing that indian media and polticians are frequently bought by Chinese, that too for peanuts ?
BTW, Chindu (China's Natiional Newpapers in Chennai) seem to be not sold. They are part and parcel of Xinhua for all practical purpose.
WOW.What a wonderfull article.I am converted to his pionts of view.I like his way of narration and references. In his article he has Written truth and only truth. Bravo,dear Rajiv.
I want this greatly learned man Mr Rajeev Sirinivasan should also contribute articles to faithfreedom.org. Lot of pples visit this site daily. About 5000. I want more and more ppl should read Rajeev Srinivasen,He is a very very strong analyser and perfect writer equal to N.S.Rajan and Francois Goutier. These are the writers read by the most of intellectuals and serious ppl.Rediff deserves thanks to give us such writers.
