RE: Time to woo India?

[Guest guest]

Dear Vrin,

 

I knew you as a realistic writer/defendant of the great treasure of the world

known as Bharat/India today. Therefore I dont understand how you can spread such

strange theories like in the last article (below).

 

Who cares whether India is a democracy or not. Least interested is the USA. It

is OIL, stupid! would Clinton say. One could say it is power, influence,

economy...

 

Does USA care that China is a de facto a dictatorship? And still China enjoys

the most favored nation status. Saudis are a great friend of USA. Turkey who

regularly butchers Kurd-nationals (40,000 of them), and has difficulties

becoming a member of European Union on grounds of human rights, is a great

friend of USA. Since Pres. Bush, USA itself has a terrible record on democratic

rules and human rights - people around the world dont know about it because all

they know about USA is what Hollywood shows them.

 

India is a strong democracy since 50 years - but did it matter in relationship

to USA.

 

That article contains just theories, false hopes, and plans designed by enemies

of Indian culture.

 

The ONLY scientific fact is the Maharishi-Effect. Confirmed by almost 50

scientific research studies, it states that when about one square root of 1 % of

population practices the Transcendental Meditation and its advanced techniques

TOGETHER at one place, then crime rate, war deaths, and aggression decrease!!!

 

It is the experience of ATMA, the unbounded pure conciousness - Unified Field of

all the laws of nature that underlies and orders all phenomena in the universe

spontaneously - that can prevent war and bring happiness to the world. Nothing

else worked in the past and nothing will in future. Lets be realistic!!

 

Only Veda and Vedic technologies of consciousness have that powed to peace

because they turn to the most basic aspect of life! Maharishi Mahesh Yogi who

brought together all the scattered pieces of Veda and Vedic Literature makes

World peace and personal enlightenment possible through that simple essence of

Veda - transcending! Nistraigunyo bhava - Be without the 3 gunas, o Arjuna!

Transcend all and come to Me. I am the Self of everything. Reaching Me you reach

all. This is Vedic politics. Not that that babling, hoping, and begging.

 

Your article states that the nuclear problem of South East Asia is primarily

Pakistans, but who helped Pak? China AND USA! WHo arms Pak? USA and other

Europeans.

 

India has the potential to be a super power - Vedic and materialistic. But it

will not happen by begging or hoping. It will happen when India and Indians -

whether Hindus, Christians, or Muslims - remember its Self, ATMA. From there

anything is possible.

 

With best wishes,

 

Shaasa

An insightful analysis in AEI's December, 2002 issue of *National

Security Outlook* by defense and security expert, Thomas Donnelly.

 

Excerpts:

Perhaps the most alluring partner for the United States in the coming

century is India. Although underreported in the American press at the

time, one of the major initiatives of the early Bush administration

was an opening to New Delhi undertaken by Deputy Secretary of State

Richard Armitage.

 

First and foremost, India is a strong democracy. Not only is India the

world's largest democracy, but it is an increasingly stable one. It

also arguably boasts the world's largest Muslim population--more than

120 million--that is genuinely free; democracy in Turkey, for

instance, is limited in comparison.

 

As its democracy has deepened, India has become, haltingly, a more

decent society...... "today's India," observes Ralph Peters in the

U.S. Army War College journal Parameters, "is to a far greater degree,

the story of the dog that didn't bark, of the hundreds of millions of

Hindus and Muslims (as well as those of other faiths) who do not kill

each other and who, despite seductive prejudices, work together as

Indians first, whether in the government, in the military, or in

business."

 

India's government also has behaved remarkably responsibly over the

past year, even at the height of tensions over Kashmir. The Vajpayee

government has seemed to understand the Bush administration's need for

a temporary accommodation with Pakistan; New Delhi's patience can only

buttress its case as a reliable and stable future partner.

 

Moreover, the Indian military is a serious force, not simply on land

but in the Indian Ocean. It is saddled with too much Soviet-style

equipment, but it has a professional officer corps and is firmly under

civilian control. And the "problem" of nuclear weapons in South Asia

is overwhelmingly a problem of Pakistan; that is, the real danger is

the regime's instability, not the balance of armaments.

 

President Bush has rightly framed the post-September 11 "war on

terrorism" as a struggle to stabilize and democratize the Islamic

world. That is an immense
