A clear big NO ,what closure ? their is absolutely nothing which we gain from it.1. Kashmir issue needs closure ...India will have to be prepared to deal with dictators ...and india has in the past too .
Inviting Musharraf to Aga summit was the most prudent thing .
cannot blame it all on bureaucracy ,blunder has to accepted.in front of global eyes we were seen not soft but a weak state.2. Kandahar - as I said we were not prepared ..that's why we committed blunder by letting plane refuel and fly out of Indian terrain . Here bureaucracy failed to live upto the challenge . Govt was helpless after we lost the initial opportunity .
we are not allies, we have a position when Iran gave statements on kashmir their was bound to be some reaction.More than china's gain we have to look at our losses.3. Iran and Sri lanka issues have not been managed well. our flip flop have proved that we are not reliable allies . India's loss is China's gain . There will be repercussion in future ...Mark my words .
4. China tent issue - There have been incursion in the past ....But first time we were exposed thoroughly . India has no policy and mechanism if similar incident recurs .It was major national embarrassment ...it took India 20 days to get out of indian territory and India had to demolish its posts in concerned area as trade off .Nothing to boast of it .
the mechanism was in place and what do you expect to escalate the issue to a minor conflict ?
agree so does russia's and brazilian one BRIC is here to stay ,even china slowed down5 . BRIC - Our economy has nosedived ..thanks to abysmal fiscal management
you under estimate our influence on maldive ,it was a strange situation but doesn't give much space to china.6. Maldives - Our limitations even in our backyard stand exposed ...It's an open invitation to the enemy .
and China will not miss the opportunity .
by definition we were nuclear state from 1974.but i donot see tests in abv era as faults.they were needed.7. We were nuclear state from 1974 . that's an overstatement- if that was the case why PV Narsimha aRao was preparing to conduct tests ...
India become Nuclear weapon state in 1992 ...
easier said than done issues in sri lanka are complex specially when you have a coalition with either DMK or jaya.We have emerged as weak nation with no direction and no clout under UPA .
Our PM may skipped his meeting at the Commonwealth Head of Government Meeting (CHOGM) held in Sri Lanka. Predicrably, considering the looming elections Tamil Nadu based political parties (in an attempt by the DMK to shift focus from the gargantuan 2G spectrum scam as it faces an impending whitewash in the upcoming elections)had started dictating what to do to our government and the PM guess what? gave in to their demands reinforcing the notion of absence of independence of foreign policy. India being a federation of states will have consultations between the centre and states but dictation of foreign policy to centre and its acceptance by the centre is bizzare.
Sri Lankan Tamils are not even Indian nationals whereas when Indian nationals are getting slaughtered the same PM didnt find it necessary to skip his meeting with his Pakistan counterpart. Why the double standards? this PM decided to send his external affairs minister to the same CHOGM meet. What for ?
like it or not it affects local tamils with the situation of tamils in sri lanka and foreign policy has to accommodate that .
upa has it's pluses what about nuclear deal.
what about 4 out of 5 unsc permanent members agreeing for our unsc seat.
what about our position on iran sanctions ,ukrain issue. italy marine issue, devyani issue.
