Mr. Raman and the Chinese
by Pradip Rabindranath on May 13, 2008 10:22 AM

Keeping other countries in a perputal state of suscpicion is another of China's strategic conspiracy.

I fail to understand the Mr. Raman toeing the reason for Tawang belonging to China. By the same token of spiritual extrapolation most of Central and Far East Asia should belong to India since Budhism was born in India. Or, likewise all territories from Georgia to Ulan Bator should belong to Bagdhad, Riyad or Istanbul!

All that Glitters may not be Gold , Mr. Raman. Empires often display their ill-gotten wealth pompously to conceal the darkness within. We have seen brutality glorified in the ampitheatres of Rome, the gory World Wars in a "nothing more to conquest 20th century Europe" or a the Giant Killing Japan; and an overwhelming fear in our software streamlined societies of today.

Please do not go overboard in singing paens of what is actually decadent and morally hollow.These glittering symbols are the minimum they have done counter their own alter ego that questions their hypocracy since their Cultural Revolution. And it is the same with all nations that aspire to build a showcase beyond compare - Paris, New York, Hong Kong, Dubai or Mumbai.
