Impotent Indian Stand is Disappointing Yet Again
by hemant sharma on Mar 19, 2008 05:58 AM

The emptiness in the claim of being anything Close to be called a Superpower can be seen in the way Successive governments have been impotent when it comes to Foreign affairs dealings with China.Indian Govts tremble when China is mentioned.We put Tibetans in jail when Chinese PMs visit India just to make the Chinese PM comfortable. This is correct to the point that we dont want to embarass them. But when our own PM visits Arunachal(an indian state) The chinese voice their concerns. Clearly how much a superpower status other countries give us can be judged by this fact.We are seen as a nation of Impotent Cowards becoz of the steps our highly respectable elected politicians take.When a Chinese PM visits india,its the top headline of every newspaper in india.meanwhile the visit of an indian pm just makes Page 4 or 5 in the Chinese Newspapers.Its a dream Indians want to see and believe that We are the next SUPERPOWER. We are closer than we were before in achieving that. but still miles away.The way India yet again Clamped down on the tibetan protestors in what was their biggest ever protest shows how our petty government has buckled down to the chinese pressure. Im not saying we need to Go at war with China over Tibet. But we need to Voice our concerns.Rather the tibetans voices were forcefully supressed.SHAME on India for stepping down from a noble cause just to please the real economic superpower which is China.India has lost alot of Moral superiority by stopping Tibetans.SHAME
