Same old recycled crap
by Shankar on Jan 03, 2007 12:14 PM

This is nothing but same old recycled crap decked up in new clothes. The author seems to be still living in the fossilised age of NAM, Hindi-Chini bhai-bhai, South-south co-op and India-China-Russia Axis etc... which are nothing more that feel good rhetoric with no relation whatsoever to reality.

The NAM policy is a major disaster, India got nothing out of it. Not a single NAM country has supported it on issues of concern like Kashmir or even during troubled times like the 1971 bangladesh war or 1962 chinese aggression.

The Hindi-Chini bhai bhai policy got it a knife in the back from China. China has been unremittingly hostile to India from day one and looks like the author simply has fooled himself into believing that somehow that is not so.

The India-China-Russia axis is a non starter simply because what he alleges in the case of USA actually holds good for China. It is simply not willing to share power and any strategic relationship with it will not be on equal terms not even with Russia. The author needs to get acquainted with reality than just live in his own make believe world.
