Obama or McCain – who is better for India?
Like much of the world waiting to find out who leads the United States as its president for the next four years, India too looks askance at the mother of all elections.
While some believe India-U.S. relations have evolved to a strategic level where it does not matter who is at the helm of affairs, a debate rages on whether Obama or McCain will be good for the South Asia region, and India in specific.
As in the U.S., in India the balance seems to tilt in favour of Obama. His backers say he will be a welcome change from the stifling neoconservatism of the Bush administration and its heavy-breathing belligerence.
The Times of India newspaper says: “…a McCain win will result in a broad continuation of Bush administration policies…Beyond that, US-India ties, at least from Washington’s perspective, would continue to be largely security driven, subject to conservative impulses arising from fears of an extremist Islamist agenda to India’s west and an expanding Chinese influence everywhere.
“Obama on the other hand promises to be different, he will bring in fresh informed change to the region.”
Obama’s supporters say his political vision is evolved from a more composite understanding of the world, and he is more inclined to engage diplomatically with the Islamic world. This is good for India. The Republicans, on the other hand, are known backers of a militarized Pakistan and historically played the security card in South Asia according to their needs.
Great News and wishes to Obama, but many have to follow its always and everywhere post elections many spoken and later very few implemented. These are my view points.
1. US to respect UN and not to act on bias and have control of UN.
2. Make a complete study of terrorism and ensure that its eradicated at the root level rather than making just statements.
3. Give Iraqis their country back based on the security constraints and ensure that a stabilized and people government is formed at the earliest.
4. Ensure strong measures for terrorism are enforced and everyone is made to respect each religion and do not discriminate based on color, creed, caste and associated factors.
5. Indian government need to act in full control to get back the lost places of Kashmir and ensure that Pakistan has no rights to enter Kashmir and the LOC totally to be made void and give us back Kashmir and we will take care of the development activity. The Indian Government need to act sensibly and use the intellectual brain of Obama.
6. US to identify the companies that are in shortfall or getting into the likelihood of shortfall and make before hand analysis so that the economy is not affected thereby global economy is also not shaken.
7. Identify those companies that outsource Jobs and ensure that proper compensation provided to the already employed people in those respective organizations so that the word hate is avoided and ensure that the jobs outsourced to any other country be it alone India is not affected in longer run.
8. Strict checks be made when visas provided and people who migrate.
9. Work for global peace.
10. Ensure that every year conferences summits are conducted on various sectors and knowledge is shared and not hidden exception for Military.
11. Work with UN and not ask UN to work US.
There are many others to be written and told.
Sir Obama, ensure that during your tenure lots of progress to happen and do not concentrate on one issue during your entire tenure in the White House. You are young dynamic and i wish you all the success and this election has made everyone to look that skin color does not matter. Follow your strong political career and iam sure you will keep on wining lots of elections.
Please Note: Do not at any point of time use Hitler Policy or British Policy.
Best Wishes and Happy Days ahead and you shall possess all the synergy to ensure global peace prevails everywhere.
