Seems that India is slowly realizing that their future does not rest with Moscow, and all those years cozying up to the Kremlin were wasted.
They probably noticed that Moscow was financing the Muslims causing all the horror in India's border disputes with Pakistan.
Of course, I'm sure the lucrative outsourcing contracts with American businesses didn't hurt either.
Anyone else notice how D.C.'s baiting and bribing of India might be related to a containment policy for China?
I think Bush's foreign policy is geared toward Chinese containment, and I'm waiting for the follow up in our economic policy toward China that will force China to conform to their agreements with us or risk their trade status.
They still want nuclear submarines, aircraft carriers, strategic bombers, submarine launched ballistic missile technology and anti-ship missiles etc. They won't get any of that from the US.
Yawn, get real, they cosied up to the USSR as a counter-balance to China and they are still pally with Russia for the same reason -- Russia and India are the allies trying to contain China. It's logical for them and it WAS logical in the past as well
We always knew it but the Nehru family has sympathy for Communism and made India's economic policy similar to Stalinist USSR. Right now, the Nehru family has formed a government with the Communists and any journalists who dares speak against the government faces a crackdown.
We indians are ashamed of the Nehru policy and the fact that they made India into a satellite state of USSR. Trust me, majority of the people are against it as their policies is what reduced india to the state of an underdeveloped country.
