How would you report a news about hooligans from India belonging to a certain religion (assume Muslims) against a mixed croud of Indians (belonging to all religions). would you say Muslims did it or hooligans did it? Religion does not matter here. There is no cunning plan by the Indian govt in place against the the Muslims citizens of India? or for that matter against any other religion.

David Shambaugh had an interesting piece in the IHT around the time of the BRIC meeting, which said that while it was all very good that the leaders of the major economies were assembled under one roof, there was plenty that divided them.

With all of the chatter about China’s emerging economic power and influence, it seems easy to forget that it is still a Communist Country with an unelected Government.

China’s Government demands democracy for it’s vote at the U.N. and it’s veto power as a member of the security council. Now it demands a new financial order with a new, international currency based on five national currencies including it’s own Renmimbi.

Why does China even get a vote at the U.N. or even a seat on the security council, when it denies it’s own citizens the right to vote, or take part in the governing of their own country?

India, on the other hand, is the largest democracy in the world. It deserves our support. Our encouragement and our friendship.

in 1947, India not only inherited Britain’s occupation of parts of Chinese territories, but also further encroached northward and pushed its borderline to the McMahon Line in 1953, as a result, invaded and occupied 90,000 square kms of Chinese territories. At western sector, in 1959, India voiced its claim to the Aksai Chin areas, counted 33,000 s.kms, of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of China. In April 1960, Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai went to New Delhi to hold talks with Indian Prime Minister Nehru, no agreements were reached due to India’s insistence on its unreasonable stand. The ensuing meetings between the officials of the two countries also produced no results.

Cindy!
I believe west believe blindly on media reports !
A Movie on Poors in India sold in West by Danny Boyle doesn’t says much about India. First thing you should note is that movie was for profit not for a cause !

Second, if it was reality , then why Slumdog didn’t worked well in Indin Cinema Halls.

easy..you are misreading the movie characters. All religions contribute to the slumdog numbers directly proportional to religion strengths in the country.Its just that the author took muslim names. Poverty spares none.See somemore Indian movies and you will be more (pleasantly)shocked. All the popular billionaire indian actors are muslims.

I finished the movie Slumdog Millionaire Scripts yesterday, and was shocked by the tragic fate of muslims. I donot understand why countries emphasize their strenth on the more inportant and more merciful aspects….

It will be interesting to see how relations between these to powers develope. Lets face it India and China are both moveing in higher gear than the rest of the world and we will see more and more weight thrown about by them. After all their huge populations make them a worthwhile ally not to mention a huge market for the capitalist west..
