Book Review : The Indian Doctrine

I am not sure who has become more nervous over this death threat me or the Indian writers on this forum. It must appear strange that the Indian writers are now taking on the role of fanatics and are trying to limit or prevent speech through the issuance of death threats and even defending the same describing it as a joke.

It is the Indian writers on this forum who need a lesson in English not me - I know when I see a threat especially when it is written in English which is my first language - Bangla is my second language.

The attack on a Sri Lankan airfield by LTTE aircraft which Indian radars failed to pick up raises questions about Indian sincerity towards the Lankan government.

What the heck are you saying. SLA's radar placed in the airport that was bombed didnt pick up any signals, what do you expect the Indians to do?

In the past this was accomplished by providing logistical support to so-called Islamic extremists who used Indian made explosives and appeared to have open access across the border as to hundreds of wanted criminals residing in Kolkata.

So India is abiding Islamic extremists in B'desh, but earlier you said India/RAW had plans to create a hindu state within B'desh.

The India Doctrine is not only ideology driven but also resource driven hence the much touted investment by Tata. The reason that Tata is so interested in Bangladesh is so that it can monopolize certain of our natural resources for the Indian interest at rates that are disproportionately favorable to them.

Every investment is made after making sure the conditions are favourable.

If India actually practiced fair trade with its neighbours the Indian economy would collapse and so it has to dominate and harass to maintain its unfair leverage over competing economies.

Ok so you tell us thew things/products that are going to flood Indian markets from the neighbiouring states.

Sri Lanka has already turned to Pakistan for assistance which has caused immense worry in India and was the reason behind the RAW assassination attempt on Pakistan's High Commissioner. While the High Commissioner survived four Sri Lanka Army commandos and three bystanders died of the suspected C-4 plastic explosion.

How does Pakistan's help towards SL worry India. if not for India there is only one force that will come to fill the vaccum thats the US. India's decision to send in IPKF in a haste manner was to prevent US from filling in the vaccum.

India shares a very shallow sea border with north SL, we can just turna blind eye on the arms and drugs smuggling undertaken by LTTE and then just see what will happen. SL is our backyard and unless some geopgraphical change happens and it drifts away to SE Asia.

India acting like a hegemon and succeeding in it are two different things. While India can try to act like one, there are plenty of counter balances that do not allow it to succeed. Many factors included but to jott down a few, here goes the list:

a) Chinese influence - Balance of power is slightly bi-polar for countries such as BD, SL, Nepal etc. Pakistan is not and will not be under the Indian sphere of influence.

b) BD and SL's refusal to cow down to Indian diktats. Both countries are surprisingly assertive in the face of the Indian pressure which is a very good thing for the region.

c) Pakistani relations with countries such as SL, BD ensure that they are not fully under the Indian sphere of influence. Chinese assistance is a constant reminder to these countries that there is a massive counter to Indian pressure.

So while you may consider BD inconsequential, in reality its not. It can cause major problems for India's stability. This goes for all of the countries surrounding India.


I fully agree with Munshi that until and unless India treats its neighbors with respect and earns the respect (by not insisting on petty issues), then it can earn a lot of goodwill...otherwise the smaller side always remembers each and every wrong and this hardens the resolve of the smaller country. Gone are the days of threatening with the military muscle especially as that would speed up these countries embrace of the Chinese.
.

So basically you say what India does is wrong, and its the good China thats helping them out.

I am somewhat amused by all this attention but I think that calling for someones murder is crossing the line of decency. It amazes me that these Indians can get so fanatical when they blame others of fanaticism.

Well in all the previous posts you were saying Indians and their politics are fanatical and now you are saying you didnt know we were so fanatical???
 
.
Before we proceed any further in this debate I suggest that all the Indian writers who have taken part in this thread to take a course in English. I feel there is a serious lack of comprehension on their part or it might simply be deliberate. There is a tendency for them to pick up on certain things and completely ignore the vital issues. I have heard this is also the method of diplomacy adopted by the Indian government hence the persistent misunderstandings with its neighbours. When the Indian writers are incapable of answering in a coherent manner the questions raised by me or others they resort to insults and even death threats. Under these circumstances how will we in South Asia ever be able to achieve common understanding with India when they clearly have no intention of engaging in discussion or debate in a civilized and rational manner.

I now have to contend with Bull on exactly the same areas that I have covered with Con but I am really not inclined to do so until the Indian writers on this forum show some integrity and intellectual honesty.

Well you are an ' accomplished writer, thinker and analyst' why do you go by hearsays???

You mean peace wont prevail in S Asia as long as death threats and insults are showered on you.

Under these circumstances how will we in South Asia ever be able to achieve common understanding with India when they clearly have no intention of engaging in discussion or debate in a civilized and rational manner. .

Why do you want to achieve a common understanding when you yourselves state India has no intention of doing it.

Well well.....

Bull,

This is one person who said Sikkim is another country? Sri Lankan airforce's in stopping a light aircraft even after its bombing run is India's fault.

Ps: where are you now, It was a very nice meeting, saw your orkut msg, was not online for quite sometime in orkut. How is the new job

I think what Bull suffers from is a complete lack of irony. Without realizing it he is illustrating perfectly the elements of the India Doctrine.

Most likely an allergy to incompetent Indian writers and a serious case of Indian influenza.

Please may I know from the moderator on the policy of Pakistan Defence on death threats. I believe that Con has suggested that RAW may kill me for my comments on this forum and Adux has started writing poetry on the subject. I am somewhat amused by all this attention but I think that calling for someones murder is crossing the line of decency. It amazes me that these Indians can get so fanatical when they blame others of fanaticism.

Death threat? I did not suggest you anything. If you conclude that I suggested "something", then it is your problem. Since there is no chance in this world that we can ever meet up,I dont have to fear anything about writing something that you think I "suggested". If I want to I can write.

Since you have brought up the competency level of RAW in my eyes, I wrote they would be "hearing" whatever you said! If you think I said RAW will kill you for that .. my what can I say. Another conspiracy?
 
.
And yes Munshiji make sure you do take care yourself.You see since most of the Bangladeshi society has been infiltrated by RAW and the all knowing evil RAW may not be too happy about your claims of victory over "3" indians. You see RAW keeps a eye on everyone!


This is unmistakably a death threat. The first and last sentence when taken together imply some physical harm to me by RAW. Although you may have no power over RAW the fact that you implied such a thing cannot be taken lightly. All the Indian writers on this forum realizing the implications of this have suddenly backtracked or deflected the issue. It is unfortunate that you have resorted to such intimidatory tactics.

That is the most hillarious sentence I have ever read in a forum, Shows a very good analytical mind
