What ever be their ideology... communists are right here!! US only need people who can lik their a*ss. Please see the US support for India in the following list..
1. Sending 7th fleet in 1972 war to help Pakistan. 2. US President calling Indira Gandhi a %u201Cb*tch.%u201D 2. Sanctions against India on our nuclear test. (Only Russia supported India, and France stayed neutral on the issue.) 3. US stopped Russia from selling Cryogenic rocket technology to India. (during Yeltsin regime) 4. US opposed selling of Super computers to India. (they argued we will use it for nuclear simulations..) 5. US is the only country in the UN Security council who still not supported India's candidature for a permanent membership. (Russia, France, Britain and even China are supporting India%u2019s candidature!!) 6. US lobbied against Shashi Tarur for the UN chief post. 7. Just a month ago US voted against P.Chidambaram for the chairman post of World Bank and supported the candidate of Italy. (US has the highest voting rank in World Bank and Chidambaram was the front runner till then for the post.)
After looking at these list if you still want to lik US a*ss then please go ahead!!!

You are very correct . US never acted in favour of India Rather it blocked India in every front .

Because India never supported US in those times. So now is the time to change things.
Shashi Tharoor:That was not because of US, but due to the money power of S.Korea. US and S.Koreans are allies, see how US supported Korea!

I think we are also not able to make our position clear.
We can be quite upfront about what we want and hold them responsible for their unfriendly acts listed by you and maybe more. At the same time, we need not antoganise them. We can learn from China, who is playing soft power to the hilt, able to do business with anybody. That they have no qualms with huge Japanese investments is testamount to their practical outlook. We all know, they suffered so much cruelty at the hands of the Japanese, but they have moved on with an eye on the future, with lessons learned. They know, when you are weak you have to blame yourself first, before pointing fingres at others.
We should also realise having a good relationship with USA can benefit us more, as other developed countries will feel more comfortable that way. Anyway, let us not go about creating enemies out of firends, just an extension of our personal lives.

you speak sense shiva.. the others allow emotions to take over!
US is weak at the moment and want us! And, it is the right moment for us to get whatever we need from US. who cares abt strategic alliance with US. If they(US) r ruthless, we are also ruthless. Say a 'half yes' to get our nukes.. then we'll take our decisions when the real 'strategic issues' come. If that good for India, with US, then with US OR without US.
We haven't made any commitment to China to make them great at our expense. May be the Commies have made - that is dangerous

Well said, Shiva, very well said, indeed. The need of the hour is realism and pragmatism.

not a single country is free from blemish. indira gandhi was a great leader. did she not commit the blunder of emergency?
did not china commit an aggression on india after chanting indi-chini bai bai
if u want to look at the past misdeeds alone can u sit with pakistan in a discussion table after their going to the extent of planning a nuclear attack during kargin.
providentially, it is clinton , who stopped the attempted nuclear adventure of musharaff by talking tough to sherif.
every coin has two sides, dear sajan.
america is the country which has given lakhs of visas for our students to study and work and guarantees equal rights to every citizen.
i believe u r not a rabid communist. if u r ignore my observations. if u r a neutral public, take an overwhelming view whether america or china.
please remember china rolls out red carpet welcome to m n c's including wallmart, whereas their stooges here r blocking every wise move of our most sincere prime minister shri manmohan.
communism has been buried in russia and china. still comrades refuse to believe that it was dead. a day will come when they will start believing that communism is a dogma discarded by its own founders.

in that case why we are having so many companies whose employees are soleley depending on US companies order. Why we have billiions of Dollars FE which have come mainly from US exports. Why we have most of the Indian abroad students are in US not in china or russia. Why we are using hardware,software,everything from a-Z developed predominannatly in US. If we are angry on these 7 points have we gutse to boycott US products. Dont talk like fools. Be practical and let us do what is good for country ultimately. Our leaders/rulers are mostly doing the right thing for country. CPM is really a pain in the a??, have done nothing for this country, they halted the progress of this country by accepting money from CHINA whose interest is to undermine india for their growth. Dont fall in to the trap CPM's megalomaniac policies.

CHINA IS BIGGEST THREAT FOR INDIA AND NOT USA.CHINA HAS GOBBLE OUR TERRITORIES AND NOT USA.IF USA IS BACKING PAK,THAN WHAT CHINA IS DOING?.MR SAJAN DO U BELIEVE CHINA WILL NOT DO IT AGAIN AS THEY DID IN 1962 INSPITE OF OUR FRIENDLY BEHAVIOUR . IN THE LONG RUN USA WILL HAVE TO SUPPORT INDIA AND ONLY INDIA , SO WE SHOULD TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE INDIA FURTHER WITH NUCLEAR AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND AS FAR AS USA IS WITH INDIA, CHINA WILL NEVER DARE TO ATTACK INDIA. SO SAJAN WAKE UP AND DON'T REMAIN IN WRONG ILLUSION.
