Foreign Policy Magaizine's 2008 Failed State Index and what it means for India's Neighborhood
My dear Gopal garu,
Very many thanks for enlightening us about the findings of the Foreign Policy Magazine.
Ur remarks about Pakistan are very very true. Pakistan smarting under the defeat of 1971 war started the low cost proxy war with India. It wanted Balkanisation of our country and supported the Khalistan movement. There are many in our country who are misguided and think that the Pakistanis are nice people and by establishing people to people contacts we can improve our relations with it. That is a dream and we will not see improvement in our relations with it. There may be lot of back thumping and hand shaking between the politicians but the terrorism continues unabated. We have seen how Kashmir had been burning for the last six days for a petty cause as underlying this is the hidden hand of ISI which is a law unto itself.
The Huriyat and some other agencies funded by ISI sing a different tune as per their Master's voice.
Recently a small country like Afghanistan declared its right to intrude into the neighbours territory to destroy the terrorists hide outs. We could never do that. It could do that because of the support of USA. Under the present circumstances USA will support India also in destroying the terrorist camps in POK.
Looking back we must accept that we committed many mistakes in our foreign policy. We should have allowed the 1948 ops to continue for few more days and thrown out Pakistan. We should have accepted the American offer to train and arm our troops to check the Chinese. After 1971 war we had the Shimla agreement by which we returned 90,000 POWs. We should have got the chapter of Kashmir closed once and for all. But we allowed bilateral discussions thereby accepting that it is a disputed area. Now we r dithering about the Indo US Nuclear deal which would give us collateral advantage in several technologies and help our strategic position. Bush may be a bungler of the first order but it would be unwise to ignore that today's world is unipolar. The communists want us to fall into the trap of the Chinese. Even the BJP which initiated the deal has not shown political sagacity.
Sorry for rambling on but U brought out such valid points that lets our mind think what could have been and should have been. I vote for this.
With best wishes,
Ramarao.

THE HUNGRY TIDE,
DSampath garu,
It is indeed a mystery to me as to how people achieve stardom not by virtue of their talents but by some strange factors like being in the right place at the right time. Substantivity unfortunately quite often doesn't get the due recognition. I've seen in my life some brilliant people fall by the wayside and mediocres rise to dizzy heights.
Strange is this world.
Hope ur post operative treatment has gone off well and u will be back on the blogspace with full verve.
Wishing U all the best,
Ramarao.

THE HUNGRY TIDE,
pbs garu,
VMT for ur comment. If u get time, read that book. He is one of the best authors of today's India.
Also see the poor response for a book review. I wonder whether the apathy for this type of blogs is due to my name or the lack of interest in good books.

Why Emily does not use spellcheque
My dear Raj garu,
Very nice indeed. According to the latest changes in English to be adopted in the EU spellcheck will be redundant anyway. We write what we speak. I wonder how Hinglish will turn out to be.

PBS!
Dear Doc,
For a minute u got me. With pbs trying to be a Doc I thought u were trying to be a pbs.
Dont u worry Doc. When ur wife goes to the labour room have a couple of u know what. They will calm ur nerves. After reading the blog I had a feeling that u planned all this to get mouth to mouth CPR from all the chikitas. I don't think they all will oblige.
Anyway we want to assure you that everything will go alright and the baby will arrive not crying but laughing.
Our best wishes and blessings for the baby on its way.
Ramarao.
