Good. After fighting the superpower USA in the Korean war, and fighting the superpower USSR in the Sino-Soviet split, fighting against a middle power like India will be like a vacation.
Plus I have a feeling that the Indian Maoists and NE rebels might be have a positive disposition towards us.

Well the current government lacks balls its well known fact for the Indians. But same cannot be said about those who have actually won the government after fighting a war and are themselves masters of guirella warfare. The gun toddlers would have big guns then.
Positive attitude or Negative attitude it all depends on the foreign policy of vice versa. Just being a communist state doesnt make you sleep around with in anyone else china would be in bed with Russia/USSR from day 1. If the policies of China remain the same nothing is going to change. In any condition no Indian would let the land go. Time can change the Indian but its impossible to change the Indianism.

Very common misconception that you fought us and 'defeated the US'. We were thousands of miles away, war fatigued and basically got the better half of the country for what is now south Korea. The proof is in the pudding, look what you did to north Korea vs. what we did with S. Korea . Your generals have been outspoken in acknowledging that we are 20 plus years ahead of you in terms of technology, let alone in military strength. I would advise you to be more humble.

Right on, apparently Mr. Low Self-Esteem Indian "Smarterthanyou" has to pretend to be American to feel better about himself and then randomly comment on 'Dalit' thread. Seriously!
Why carry a brain around when you are not going to use it?

‘Would they have tortured me the same way had I not been a Dalit?'
Rekha Chavan shows the bruises four days after she was beaten up
Rekha was assaulted because her son allegedly eloped with a Maratha girl
Four days after she was beaten up, stripped and paraded in her own village, 42-year-old Dalit widow Rekha Arun Chavan wonders if she would have lived a life of more dignity had she been born in an upper caste. Rekha was assaulted because her son Amol allegedly eloped with a Maratha girl Anita Desai from Mulgaon village in Karad, Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan's hometown. Relatives of the girl confessed to The Hindu that they had indeed beaten her up.
Bai aahe ka kutri? Am I woman or a dog to be beaten up like that,” Rekha asked this correspondent while she lay in a bed on Friday afternoon in Karad's Krishna Hospital. “About 12 persons of the Desai family assaulted me for one and a half hours. They called me names and swore at me for being from a lower caste. Would they have tortured me the same [way] had I not been a Dalit,” she asked. She had no clue about her 22-year-old son Amol's relationship with 17-year-old Anita, their neighbour.
“What was wrong?”
Speaking to The Hindu in Mulgaon village, where the incident happened, Anita's cousin Bhimrao Desai said, “What is wrong? How would anyone else react if their daughter had run away with a lower caste man?”
So far, five persons from the Desai household have been arrested in the case, and are under police custody.
The Desais are Marathas. According to Rekha, the village always lives in fear of the Marathas. Nobody speaks against them. There are about 25 Dalit families, and 100 Maratha families, she said. “When I was being beaten up, everyone just watched. They want to live safely in the village,” she said, showing the black and blue marks on the thighs, back and hands. Rekha said she had been ostracised by the villagers, even from her community, on the orders of the Marathas. She owns a small provision store. She lost her husband 22 years ago.
Like every village in Maharashtra, Mulgaon also boasts a ‘Tanta Mukti Samiti' (committee to resolve disputes) under the much talked about Mahatma Gandhi Tanta Mukti Gaon Yojana (dispute-free village scheme). A dispute like this should have been identified and resolved at the village level. However, as Bhimrao Desai reveals, the head of the committee is also from the Desai community. “When things are going wrong in your own house, what can the committee do,” he asks.
Rekha's son left the house stating that he was going to Pune for a job. “He left on December 13. I haven't heard of him since,” she said. Anita went missing a day after. Since then, Rekha was threatened repeatedly. Her nephew Sharad and sister-in-law Surekha were also beaten up. While Sharad has lodged a police complaint, Surekha was too scared to take the step. It is also perhaps a sense of guilt that stopped her. “Amol had told me before leaving. He wanted me to give his mobile phone to Anita and help her hide her bag, I had conveyed the message to her,” Surekha said.
When attempts to get the information about her son from her relatives failed, the Desais targeted her, Rekha says. I kept begging them to leave me, and I repeatedly told them that I didn't know about his whereabouts. But nobody listened. Both the men and women were merciless,” she stated.
In Mulgaon, though, there is a sense of acceptance of the atrocity. “Such things [inter-caste marriages] can happen in cities, but even we don't feel good that it is happening in our own village,” Eknath Chavan, also a Dalit, said. “We know it is permitted by law but we cannot be OK with it,” he said.
Rekha's neighbour Samabai Chavan, who was one of the eyewitnesses, said: “I tried to stop them. She held on to my feet while they were beating her with sticks.” According to Samabai, Rekha went to the hospital alone after being assaulted. Nobody from the village has gone to visit Rekha in the hospital. “She is paying for what she has done. We have to do our own work,” Eknath Chavan says nonchalantly.
In the hospital, Rekha's 70-year-old mother Gayabai Sathe asks, “What has my daughter done? How will she go back and live in her house?”
Says Rekha: “I want to prove to them that I cannot be scared away. I will go back to my house in the village and live with dignity.”

Dalit youth's family seeks protection
MYSORE: The family of Govindaraju and organizations on Friday asked for a CBI investigation into the controversial death of Suvarna from Abalawadi in Mandya. They staged a sit-in even as they petitioned southern range IGP to extend security cover for the family members. IGP A S N Murthy, who spoke to them for 45 minutes, asked Mandya SP Kaushlendra Kumar to provide security cover for Govindaraju's family, who were in hiding. Suvarna, was in love with a dalit youth, Govindaraju.
The girl's family opposed the relationship and allegedly hanged her to death in her lover's house on December 6.Govindaraju's mother Tholasamma, brother Thimmappa and sister-in-law Thayavva along with the social activists met Murthy at his office and sought his intervention. The family accused Mandya police of laxity in investigation and sought IGP's help. "They asked me to handover the case to DySP-level officer besides seeking protection. I've instructed Mandya SP to act on the demands," Murthy told The Times of India.The family is expected to meet Mandya SP on Saturday.
This comes on a day when the family got support from PUCL and Samatha Vedike, a women's organization and writers-activists Kalegowda Nagawar, K S Bhagwan, former director of Rangayana C Basavalingaiah and social activists S G Vombatkere and K S Shivaramu, who sat with the family on dharna at the DC's office. They sought CBI probe into Suvarna's death saying that Karnataka police are not doing their job. They accused home minister R Ashoka of interference in the investigation. Govindaraju's family said they have not got back to their house in Abalawadi ever since Suvarna was hanged. Activist Shivaramu said they plan to meet DGP Shankar Bidari in the weekend to seek protection.

Dalit sugarcane worker burnt to death, one held
He was killed on Sunday for not returning Rs.5,000
A day after 32-year-old Dalit sugarcane labourer Shahadev Tayad died of burns, the accused Vashisht Dhake who allegedly burnt him was held by the police on Monday, but the Tayad's family's efforts to come to terms with the loss have just begun.
According to the police, Dhake burnt Tayad on Sunday for not returning Rs.5,000 at his residence in Chincholi Sindphana village in Beed's Georai taluka. An offence under Section 302 of the IPC had been registered against Dhake, and the police will also consider booking him under the Scheduled Castes and Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989, police said.
Tayad lived with his wife, four children aged between one and seven, parents, a widowed sister and her three children. With his loss, the number of earning hands in the family is reduced to two: his sister and wife.
With a population of barely 500, the village is home to a majority of Maratha landowners and a handful of landless Dalit families like that of Shahadev Tayad. Dhake belongs to the Maratha clan. Narrating the incident, Mhasa Tayad states that while his son was being beaten and burnt, nobody came to his rescue. “Everyone just stood and watched the tamasha [show]. I saw Dhake pour kerosene on him, and I ran and wrapped him in a blanket and tried to douse the fire,” he says. “We had no enemies. We still don't. But we just hope that Vashisht Dhake suffers what we are suffering now.”
Dhake, who allegedly burnt Shahadev Tayad to death, was arrested by the Beed police on Monday night. Georai Deputy SP Jyoti Khirsagar told The Hindu on Tuesday that the police were on the lookout for Dhake, after Shahadev Tayad named him in his dying declaration. Tayad, who had suffered 93 per cent burns, died on Monday afternoon. Dhake was arrested from Latur on Monday night where he had been hiding. “Prima facie, according to the dying declaration and the Panchnama made at the spot, we are naming Dhake as the prime accused. The rest of the details will be made clear after interrogation,” Ms. Khirsagar said. Dhake will be produced in a local court on Wednesday, where the police will be asking for the custody.
According to Mhasa, Dhake threatened to kill Shahadev twice before and had beaten him up on two occasions last month “When I told him that we would file a police complaint, he threatened to kill me as well,” he says. Approaching the police is what the family repents now.
Shahadev Tayad was perhaps like one of the many labourers in the region: landless, uneducated and bonded year after year. Everyone in the Tayad household works as a labourer. Shahadev's wife Vandana works as a sugarcane labourer and was away in Sangli at the time of the incident. She too has borrowed Rs. 50,000, pledging labour for six months in return. The family stated that it has not got any work under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MNREGS). “For six months we work in the sugarcane fields, and for the rest of the six months we work as farm labour in Beed, earning Rs.70 a day,” Mhasa states. “The family only manages to save Rs.10,000 for the year's food and other supplies, “Shahadev's sister Rukmini says.
“I now fear for the lives of my children. What am I going to do with all four of them,” 30-year-old Vandana asks with a blank look, unable to come to terms with reality. Sitting beside her, her only daughter Kalindi is telling her younger brother that father has gone out of town and will be returning soon.
Visiting the family, Additional District Collector Shivanand Taksale is surprised that the family does not qualify to be Below Poverty Line (BPL). “If they don't, then who does,” he asks. “We have issued a compensation of Rs.1.5 lakh [under the Scheduled Castes and Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989], and we will try and give them as much as help as possible under the government schemes,” Mr. Taksale told The Hindu outside the Tayad residence. He stated that as a victim of the Atrocity Act, the family could be given a house. “Under the Sanjay Gandhi National Social Assistance programme, the widow can be given Rs.600 per month. The family can also be considered for the Aam Admi Bima Yojana (covering death in rural landless households), and be given Rs.75,000 in compensation,” he stated.
Asked about the government schemes that could have perhaps helped Shahadev Tayad live, Mr. Taksale said, “We have all the schemes in place. The implementation needs to be worked out. By next year, Beed will be migration free. We are doing our best to encourage workers in the MGNREGS. This year, Rs.26 crore has been spent on the implementation of the MNREGS in Beed alone.”
