))) Because Cameron has been advised not to step on tail of Indians



Don't mention Kashmir, poverty in India, UK PM advised
IANS, Jul 28, 2010, 09.52am IST



LONDON: Look out for the "elephant traps" in India, don’t mention Kashmir and avoid patronising references to poverty. Don’t dare criticise and instead talk of the "New India".

For the past two days British media has been full of tips to Prime Minister David Cameron, who arrived in India Tuesday night, on how not to upset India if his trip is to be a success. But taking the cake is the tongue-in-cheek advice in the Financial Times reflecting on British and Indian attitudes on certain sub-continental issues.

The newspaper's columnist Alex Barker in his blog asks Cameron to look out for "elephant traps" in India.

The first is 'Kashmir', he says. Recalling controversial utterances by previous British foreign secretaries like Robin Cook and David Miliband, Barker tells Cameron: "The quickest way to turn a charm offensive into a diplomatic fiasco. The basic rule: British ministers should say nothing. Don't dare criticise, offer to help, or link bringing peace to tackling terrorism. Stray words have consequences."

The second is 'Poverty'. "More poor people than anywhere on earth. But not worth mentioning too loudly. Talk about the New India instead. Mention the aid review. A patronising tone is fatal."

The third, 'Coming over too fresh'. Barker says: "The young, dynamic, no-nonsense version of Cameron should probably be left behind. It's time to learn some manners. Indian politicians are, as a rule, double his age and four times as grand. If the meetings are stuffy, formal, overbearingly polite, that's a good thing."

The fourth is the 'Immigration cap'. The columnist writes: "A big issue for the Indian elite. Anand Sharma, the commerce minister, raised his 'concerns' earlier this month with Cameron himself. A heavily bureaucratic and stingy visa regime will not encourage Indians to work or study in Britain."

Obviously. When you go to a friend's house, you don't tell him how smelly he is or how dirty his house is when you're not around. You praise his personal qualities and possibly his family ethics to make him feel better. It is always a formality when bigwigs visit each other's countries.

We have a lot of poor people and that's a drawback. 250 million is not a joke as it is two times the size of China's poor. We have to improve on that but I am sure Cameron would not consider reminding us that. That's how strong ties are built.

Just like the Japanese businessmen would have fond memories of mauling Chinese when they sign trade deals with the Chinese isn't it? Afterall the present day Japanese didn't drop in from Mars; they have their ancestors' imperial blood too.

Thanks to you generous hospitality West India Company is already hear. They are starting to leave a mark wherever you invite them, either way it's too late now. We have enough manpower to deal with them in future. I'm just worried about Pakistan for now.

UK PM cautions Pakistan over 'terror exports'

British Prime Minister David Cameron has warned Pakistan not to have any relationship with groups that "promote the export of terror"

He said that he would be raising the issue with his Indian counterpart Manmohan Singh when they hold talks in Delhi on Thursday.

Mr Cameron's spokeswoman insisted he was talking about Pakistan as a country, not its government.

She said that the main message was for Pakistan to shut "terror groups" down.

More stable

"We should be very, very clear with Pakistan that we want to see a strong, stable and democratic Pakistan," Mr Cameron told reporters after a speech in the southern Indian city of Bangalore.

His remarks on Pakistan follow the leaking of US documents on the Wikileaks website in which Pakistan's Inter Services Intelligence agency was accused of secretly helping the Afghan insurgency.

The BBC's world affairs correspondent Mike Wooldridge says that the leaking of this particular allegation has already been the cue for increased American demands that Pakistan needs to step up its efforts to tackle terrorism and Mr Cameron is saying the same.

Our correspondent says that Mr Cameron and his officials also put great emphasis on the importance of Britain and Pakistan working together to make the country stronger and more stable.

"It should be a relationship based on a very clear message: that it is not right to have any relationship with groups that are promoting terror," he said.

"Democratic states that want to be part of the developed world cannot do that. The message to Pakistan from the US and the UK is very clear on that point."

His comments are likely to be welcomed by officials in Delhi, which has long accused its neighbour of backing attacks on Indian targets.

The two nuclear-armed rivals have fought three wars, with peace negotiations stalling following the Mumbai attacks of 2008, which India blamed on Pakistani-based militants.

The British economy has been trashed by the global financial crisis so they have to take their begging bowl to India.

I'm sure the imperial blood in your veins is of the masters who shoved yours in Nanking, Who's the daddy now.

Thats disturbing and despicable at the least, The Nanking massacre is very sensitive incident for the Chinese people and a traumatic psychological burden.

We shouldn't indulge in such stray talk,with incomplete knowledge on the such controversial issues.

Its like someone making fun of Indians saying:"Ha,Ha the British raped you at Jallianwala Bagh "

If you did this knowingly,then you no different from the Chinese guy who was recently celebrating deaths of Indians in a train accident,by posting smiles.

it is said that "The Nanking massacre has emerged as a fundamental keystone in the construction of the modern Chinese national identity"

I'd request you to educate yourself about Nanking incident,before you post anything ever related to that incident again.

One thing i would like to say to myself is :

These are the same countries which termed my country as third world, land of snake charmers and land of elephants and what not.

Today for money they speak another language. This does not mean we should not trust them. But never let this get to head.

Only when this country can continue like this for atleast another decade or two and decrease the poverty and corruption can we really pat ourselves on the back.

This should be the mantra for my country and countrymen. And i think it is, the reason for which we are growing, but lot needs to be done.

i really accept ur thought
