Why...From the hug one can tell who the man is. lol<br /><br />Why does a man who is in-charge of 1.3billion de-mean himself. Every white person who saw the pic was commenting that Moodi looks like he is hugging his daddy.<br /><br />PrasunAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-70733804361074659372017-06-28T08:36:38.895-07:002017-06-28T08:36:38.895-07:00Karnad was right in his judgement of Indian Securi...Karnad was right in his judgement of Indian Security management system when he said that "India wants Security for free" - Nuclear umbrella for free, Submarines for free, artillery guns and tanks for free and ships for free or in exchange of bananas. However, our elites at the same time would not mind looting the Banks, our coal mines, our airwaves and stash that loot in British Banks, in Singapore or some other foreign country. India could have bought many weapons with that loot.There is another group of people who would want to buy security with mortgaging Kashmir, Siachin, our northern borders and even our cultural and religious identity. Some others do feel spending on Security means looting the money that actually rightfully belongs to them - DODOs being in forefront in that category along with Arundhati types. Having been subjugated for centuries precisely due to Security failure in the continent, we continue to give a damn to our security and still want Russian tanks for bananas. Some on pseudo experts, you are not going to get security by being cynical and by throwing stones at the Yankees along with Jehadies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-73824237821146919452017-06-27T18:13:52.188-07:002017-06-27T18:13:52.188-07:00So, India has managed to enroll US in the universa...So, India has managed to enroll US in the universal war on terror, or maybe it is the other way around. But who exactly are we (India & US) fighting? Do look up USAs record. After the 9/11 attacks, they jumped into it with traditional gusto and bombed the hell out of Afghanistan and Iraq, without even knowing why a few men made the attack which no terrorist group has claimed even till date. But, with a war declared, some enemies have to be killed. If not the actual terrorists, a few lakh people having sort of affiliation with them, however remote, will do. Is exactly what is happening in India too. The sentiment, too, is same - 'You are either with us or with the terrorists'. <br />A good war needs people to admire it and clap. Never mind who gets the bullets. Suddenly, poor and defenceless people all over India are paying the price. Citizens must ask the government - what have you done to ensure that the desperation and anger which forced some people to blow up the 3 planes in US, is not allowed to rear itself in India? Why are school girls throwing stones in Kashmir? The world is round. What goes around, eventually comes around. The jehadis of today ( including Osama Laden) were given birth by none else than CIA/USA in its war against Russia in Afghanistan. Military dictatorship in Pak, too, was propped up by USA itself. US embrace is usually deadly.

See what expense India has had to incur for Trump's warmth ----$2 billion sale for 22 Guardian systems, four Boeing P-8I Poseidon maritime aircraft for a billion dollars; about $3 billion worth of helicopters – including 22 AH-64E Apache attack helicopters and 15 CH-47F Chinook heavy lifters – and a $700 million order for 145 M-777 ultra-light howitzer. For this amount of business to a dying US armament industry, Trump should have more than just hugged Modi. <br />Alok Asthanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05362507906160748320noreply@blogger.com
