I support Karat for making such a bold move! China, my dear friend, needs no Indian agent. US needs India to spread its business. The US has its largest debt to China. So US badly needs agents in the upper echelons of Indian politics to push its reactors and machineries. Thank God! The US has no dearth of willing agents from the subcontinent! This reminds me of the Latin American experience. In the 1960s and 1970s, the continent went through similar Americanisation through forward agencies. Now see what's happening there. One after another country electing leftwing leaders who were not even known ten years ago. India may, I am not saying will, go the same way in the next couple of decades.
