thanks to sulekha news.
this is what is going on in iran now.
this is the shape of things to come in india in the near future. this is the logical next step from a) the muzzling of dissenting journalists like gurumurthy, b) the rich dividends being reaped by shekhar gupta, n ram and similar boot-lickers of the congress and marxists. simply extrapolate: the 'government' media will be lionized, and the opposition will be tortured.
indian bloggers beware. those in the us are probably safe so long as they are not too critical of homeland security.
furthermore, i predict another emergency will be imposed in india by june 1. and this time, there will be no election as in 1977. the emergency will be there for good, and over the course of time, kashmir, the northeast etc. will be given away to various interested parties. i was appalled to see a normally sensible columnist in the business standard say the following -- doesn't this amount to sedition?
r jagannathan, rjagann@business-standard.com, says:
| "Most foreign experts believe that India�with its caste, ethnic, and religious faultlines�is too diverse a nation to stay in one piece over the long term. Our history tends to support this view. |
| From ancient to medieval India, this country has had interludes of unifying central rule, followed by bouts of regional rule. We have also had a mixture of the two, where the centre is the nominal power and regional powers function largely independently while paying formal obeisance to the centre." |
jagannathan does not recognize that these 'foreign experts' are usually in the pay of their foreign policy establishments, which are generally hostile to india as a competitor. for instance, the US and UK foreign offices have a pathological hatred of india, for historical and competitive reasons. so why on earth would their words carry any weight?
just to put this in context, i am a 'foreign expert' who thinks china will fall apart soon. do you think the chinese establishment pays any attention to me? (no, i am not employed by india's foreign office, by the way, i just tell it like i see it.)
i think jagannathan needs to hear some dissenting opinions.
