China had the same sanction cause it did react to the uprise in Chien A Min square... They were also dumped with their F8 program. China has enough anti sentiments cause USA arms Japan, Korea and Taiwan... US did send spy planes more then a few times close to China...
That does not answer my question. I said sanctions to prove that India and US were not close at that time. Why the at that time was China following containment policies against India?
Whay saya? Read Amnesty reports... And do some UN reseach...
Sometimes, wheat gets grinded along with the Chaff
I would say that, yes since we have change of governments when there are elections. Since, i have gone to vote. Do you doubt that India has democracy??
Now look at Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh. Do any of them have a functioning democracy?
Well India is dead meat with 600 million below the poverty
Last time i checked it was b/w 200 and 300 million. But do tell me, does having poverty mean that it is not a democracy??
Anyways, Pakistan has comparable ratio's.
... India is called secular and democratic yet hindu nationalist rule it...
As vnomad said above. Add to that, that our Army Chief is also a Sikh. And our defense minister is a Christian.
It is windowdressed democracy and in fact extremely corrupt
If it is window dressed, then how do the governments change?? I wonder, shouldnt there be one entity which lords over all in the guise of democracy??
Stop dreaming Munir that India is a window dressed democracy. We goto elections every 4 years, we vote, and we get the government that gets the maximum votes.
Corrupt? Hmm. Again does being corrupt not make India a democracy?
Do you know what democracy is??
On a separate note, like vnomad said, see the transparency international's ratings.
... It has not signed the NPT... It is aggressively with its neighbours
So, Pakistan, and Israel have not signed NPT too. We will not sign any treaty that discruminates against us.
(so many enemies are wring and india is ok?)
So many enemies?? Pakistan and China. Possibly Bangadesh as a future enemy, but not now. Who are the so many enemies? We have excellent relations in the ME. And who cares if we have enemies. Can they do anything to harm us?? US is world enemy no. 1. So? Does that mean it is not a superpower? China has enemies in Japan, US, Australia, and many more nations.
It has wishes to become superpower... I do not call that stabuility but stupidity.
Just because Pakistan CANNOT become a superpower in the visible future, dont undermine India. China also has dehumanising poverty, has income differences bet rich and poor, so? Its ok if China becomes a global power and not India? Dream on. We have accomplished so much in 10 years, in another 20 you will see a different India.
The world has said India will become a major global power, go and complain to them.
Just like the arrogance of posters from India. Just visit BRF or Keymag. They are posting with western names and act like they own the world... Dignity and respect is gone...
Not my concern.
