After Rajiv Gandhi's death all the leaders have been spineless servile idiots...slaves of "phirangis". Just look at the body language of our leaders at the UN or other international gatherings and you will feel like they owe their life to the western leaders. I am not saying the western leaders are bad but rater that our leaders behave like Chaprasis in their presence. It is so insulting especailly given the fact that so many Indians are educated professionals and instead have people working for them in the west. The whole South Asian region behaves the same way. So in spite of this economic boom what has India done internationally to flex its muscle? NOTHING! This mentality will not go away I tell you. India doesnt have to be in the security council to make itself heard. I have yet to hear a novel idea or a political stance that would make people say we better listen given India's new found status at the world stage. How come I never hear India telling others how to solve energy issues. Or how come India doesnt speak out when Indians abroad are victims of racism or discrmination? They say that you are recognized by the status of your enemy. And believe me Pakistan doesnt have any at the world stage. So India needs to stop obsessing about Pakistan etc and start frying bigger fish!

I don't know Ahmad Nawaz, if you would put that tag of spineless, servile idiots, on P V Narasimha Rao, or even Atal Behari Vajpayee. What is needed is a clear hard-headed vision: this bit of tinkering with a law here to gain a local advantage there, ignoring the crimes of your supporters, while setting the hounds on your opponents, roiling the country with reservations, when you are currently unable to fill up the early generous quota, the incredible pettiness and shabbiness of a health minister who seeks to humiliate an eminent surgeon, and gets Parliament to pass a law to oust him, all these are something that we can see, but unfortunately not the politicians. The 'upright, honest, intellectual, eminent economist' who is our PM says he has taken all these measures in the nation's interest.
When you are bogged down in such cheap, squalid mean little manipulations and maneuvering, the last thing that is possible is to flex your your muscles internationally, or make yourself heard.

This is a continuation of my post, since I was running out of space.
Anyone, almost anyone in India could have told this unelected Prime Minister of India that taking the Left's help to form a government is to put a noose around your head, with the lead rope in the Left's hands. You move too far... you move too slow... you stand still...any which way the noose will tighten.
I didn't want to bring religion into this discussion, but to Muslims, the Prophet (SAWWASA) is the equivalent of Ram; a man as perfect as Allah could make. Muslims venerate (not worship, note please) the Prophet the same way that Hindus venerate Ram. To denigrate Ram in the language that Karunanidhi did, I suppose the man of integrity, honest, upright, intellectual, subscribes to the view that this, too, was and is in the nation's interest.
With such 'visionaries', you expect India to flex its muscles, internationally.
As regards Pakistan, since their founding they have had 3 pillars, Allah, Army & America. Fine, move closer to America (BUT ON YOUR TERMS.) As far as the Pak Army is concerned, raise your strategic and tactical resources to a level that Pakistan, even with China's help can never match. For years together, you have allowed Pakistan to set your agenda, now move so far ahead that Pakistan ends up "eating grass" if they try to match us. The move to support the Karzai Government in Afghanistan is the only forward-thinking strategic initiative that this Government has taken.
