Lets think in some other way
by debojyoti basu on Apr 28, 2008 03:46 PM   Permalink

Well its definitely a tightrope...but every right minded shall be fully sure whom to choose when it will be IRAN VS US....But I feel the topic is not that simple....First let us start with the muslim votes...so our leaders are shaping foreign policies based on the possibility of electoral gains....so then we can definitely ask some questions regarding the loyalty of theose section of the population....is there any waranty that the same population will not act as a fifth column against the Indian state?So basically this policy is turning out to be double edged sword..
Next IPI issue....well Pakistan is said to be client state of US....and Pakistan can be more prbably be called as a Sunni state where Shia's face regular persecussions as the organisation such as Lashkar-E-Jhaghvi,Jundullah suggest...so why Pakistan is getting so much interested and how can it be so active to replace India with China in the pipeline?Where is the US pressure in this case?
Third....who will be more friendly to India if India has to choose between Shia Iran and its Sunni Arab neighbours? We must also consider the effect of two failed states on both sides of our border which are Sunni countries and also our own Sunni population which is getting radicalised into the idelogy of Wahab? So wouldn't it be good if we have a strong Shia neighbour who can stand with us during emergency...
