Indian reaction to Tibet Crisis
by desijohn on Mar 23, 2008 11:37 PM

What other reaction can be expected from the present Indian govt? It is well known that Cong-I sent Subramanyam to China during Vajpayee's first term as PM, and got funds. They allegedly paied Rs.10 crores per MP to vote against the BJP. I'm not a supporter of either Cong-I or BJP. The point is this: When the present day Cong-I leaders obtained funds from China, they are obligated to China. Their responses will naturally be soft, and self-censored. However its a pity from a nation-state perspective. Especially when India is trying to make the world believe that it is somewhat of an emerging power.

Again, this goes back into history to Jawarlal Nehru, who greatly messed up India's strategic responses to Tibet and Kashmir. This bungling has weighed down on subsequent Cong-I govts, who can't denounce their "neta" and now Sonia anyway doesn't care. Manmohan? Any doubt that he is His Masters Voice?

Is it because of the idiotic mass public opinion, as shown by one Vishal on these forums?
