Hello everyone,


What do we think of India's future? Are we positive, negative on the large outsourcing that is occurring in India? Or do we view this as a natural effect of a globalising, inter connected economy?

What do we think of the ties Mr. Bush is trying create with India? And do we view the India-Pakistan situation as something that could be an issue in the future?

What thoughts do we have on India?

India will see be going down the drain. India is instituting this Quota crap into colleges, and universities. Congress is being filled with Leftist Communist, and corrupted leaders. As a result we buy more expensive, yet worse military hardware. I believe that the Nuclear deal with India is a big problem, because we are slowly going to loose Sovereignty. If the US doesn't like something that India does, instant sanction on Nuclear Fuel. India's bottlenecks on its economy are screwing India up more, and India not even trying to get rid of the maoist or naxals. Bottlenecks such as the fact that India is making all this money off its economy, yet not redistributing it amongst the Poorest in India. Suppose India had a good Dictator, and some sense maybe India would be much farther. But since India have so much corruption, and no enforcement of the law, India will ALWAYS lag behind. India needs to no longer have to be able to fire a nuke after it is being attacked, rather it has to have first strike capability. Not only would this deter war, it would end the thought of war from Pakistan, and China.

Poverty, corruption and raceism is more dangerous then nukes. Each region of Inda have several armed seperatist groups which are influanced by communism.

Presently India have the strongest Communist party after China nd its popularity is increasing in presence of extreme hunger. There are more chances that India would fall in hands of Communists and then an endless civil was untill Bahar, Tamil, Khalistan and another 5/6 states emerge from India.

US have realised the situation and helping India in nuclear power but in presence of corruption it very unlikely that fruits would reach to 600 million who sleep hungry in night. And that hungry and deprived classes are potental WMD's which China can use espacially in case if Nepal falls in communists hand the India would be the second.

Just another question relating to India; who are the friends and enemies of India (other than Pakistan, of course). It seems most countries who interact with India switch between support and opposition on many issues.

Pakistan and Chian are biggest neighbours of India and are considered as worst neighbours by Indians. Nepal, Siri Lanka, and Bangladesh are second catogery enemies.

India being a majority Hindu state and being in extremists hands considers all other relagions as it enemies including Islam, Christianity and Sikhism.

Internally it have several classes of Hindu's itself and Brahman is the elite Hindus and rest hindus are considered to be second degree people.

However it enjoys good relations with Russia as Pakistan was involved in Afghan resistance and secondly Isreal because of anti-Pakistan views. However it s difficult to say that any other nation on eath is or can be friend of India.

India's large population is also a big factor in its depressing situation. India is becoming so congested that tensions among people and wildlife have occurred. I mean leopards and elephants seem to have declared war with the Indians.

India's negative relations with its neighborings countries have forced them to spend money on weapons instead of other projects that can improve the quality of life of all its citizens.

No. In fact it's large population is it's boon. It has already been heralded as the largest growing economies with just 40% of it's resources, imagine near 100% efficiency!

I concur that it is a success story thus far and would be pulling in the goods in the near future anyways. The last thing it needs is a dogmatic leadership. Look at Pakistan and compare!

If you want to make an enemy, always you can do it quickly. But if you want to make a friend, you need to be patient. I cannot understand why India is afraid that Pakistan or China is going to invade? for what?

because the Indian elites had been trained by the G.B Empire officials,and they find they had eaten too much in the past 50 years.which is sticking at their throat now.
very common troubles of a teenage monster.

India will emerge as a global economic power within 20 years but it will also experience increased hostility from its immediate neighbours. The recent strategic deal between India and America is viewed as anti-China move, which will add tension to the troubled relations between India and its neighbours.

I believe India will come out to a big world player but only after Congress is kicked out along with the leftist and a respectable party like the BJP comes into place. The problem with India is that it does stuff slower than other states in the world, there will be no economy without more employable employees (http://www.indianexpress.com/story/32008.html). The rising threat of China and India's arrogance to taking action to preventing another war between the two neighbors is disturbing and will definitely hurt the economy. Another thing needed is the improvement of infrastructure one thing which Manmohan Singh has said to increase.

In terms of growth it should skyrocket but hopefully the economy will not go into a meltdown or the stock market won't crash after rising by a third fold in 1 day.

india might be an econonic power, not more than that.

the indians import all their military hardware and cannot even fight small neighbours like bangladesh who eat up their territory everyday.

China on the other hand, is an economic power and its military industrial base is capable of long-term warfare and has the wisdom to crush minority groups.

Actually, India is more and more producing its own hardware. And corruption is declining.

Gujurat is totally electrified I believe thanks to Modi.

India has great potential. It views China as an enemy because of the 1962 war with them.

Recently, the communist party has had a decline in support.

Actually, the BJP has many prominent Muslim members and is allied with the sikhist nationalist Akali Dal in Punjab.

Congress and the Left have had more communal riots then the BJP. In fact they were the catalyst of the anti sihk riots that left 3,000 Sikhs dead.

India is a country that would benefit from an individual wielding strong authority with the wisdom to move the country forward on the right track. The country already faces many problems and will face many more in the years ahead. This can happen with a BJP majority govt. with someone like Modi at the helm. He knows how to get things done on the economic front, no doubt, and he also sees the importance of developing infrastructure, the lack of which is one of India's biggest obstacles to development.

On the foreign policy end, it will try to balance relations with the US and China in the foreseeable future. Relations with both have improved considerably over the past few years. Relations with Pakistan have also warmed under the reign of Musharraf. Russia will continue to be the #1 ally, due to burgeoning economic ties and strong military ties.

I agree that Modi should lead the country.

Aaahhhhhhh.....


India ........

This girl is awesome! She talks bout getting into politics and transforming her village! She has apparently convinced her parents as well into this idea. It is amazing to see a girl from rural India come out and speak with this kind of power. Inspiring stuff! We need more people like this in India! I found her while traveling through Punjab - in a town called Almoh. She was signing up into the IYC (Indian Youth COngress) during a membership drive. Hope u enjoy! Cheers!

this is the kind of people we actually need in india!!!
