A LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE NEW YORK TIMES AND THE TIMES OF INDIA

According to MINT, The New York Times, noted in 900-word story that “even after the tortuous road to the nuclear agreement, Indian strategic relationship with the United State remains troubled by several major disagreement, including Indian policy on Iran and Myanmar.”

Will the day ever dawn, when The Times of India, runs a similar story, reporting the real sentiment of the people of India with words like:

“Even after the tortuous road to the nuclear agreement, Indian strategic relationship with the United State remains troubled by several major disagreement, including US policy on Iran, Myanmar, Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, Sudan among several issue centering on war and peace, the role of United Nation, the reshaping of International Monetary Fund and World Bank, the issues of Human Rights of Guantanamo Bay captives and their torture in captivity, et al.”

Not till the present oligarchs are roundly defeated and India freed from their stranglehold.

WILL INDIA BECOME A 'BONDED SLAVE COUNTRY' OF THE USA?

A LETTER TO THE EDITOR:


WILL INDIA BECOME A 'BONDED SLAVE COUNTRY' OF THE USA?


It is noteworthy that Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in his tabled speech in the Lok Sabha, complained about his Left coalition partners who supported his minority government for 4 years and two months, that 'they wanted him to behave as their bonded slave'.


It is reassuring to his countrymen, that at least the PM knows how it is to be felt like a 'bonded slave'.


However, it is strange that he never responded reassuringly to the overwhelming warnings by the people across all political affiliations and even common people, so clearly alerting him to the perception, if not the reality of his acting as a 'bonded slave' of US President Bush. He allowed the Iran vote twice, even against strongest public protests; and he sacked his senior ministers with very important portfolios of external affairs and Petroleum ministries, clearly under open US pressure.


Besides, the whole series of actions focusing on the efforts to conclude an Indo-Pak civilian nuclear deal, underpinned by US legislative constraints on India's independent foreign policy and its freedom to maintain a credible nuclear deterrent, has been such a secretive and clock and dagger operation, that no one should be blamed for imagining the worst, from such clandestine and/or dictatorial attempts that left the undeniable perception of making India, a 'bonded slave of the USA.


To compound the matter, not only he was personally behaving as a bonded slave of a warmonger dictator, with his the comprehensive legislated package that is tagged to the Indo-US civilian nuclear agreement, Prime Minister has made his entire nation as a bonded slave of America.


Is there some racist connotation to his preference for becoming a 'bonded slave' of a white foreign power rather being a bonded slave to his own brown countrymen?


We cannot discount the fact, that British colonizers had the advantage of their white colour, when they were initially welcomed by the people here; so deeply brainwashed into a servile racist caste hierarchy by the wily high-caste managers/collaborators.
