Ram Da,
?
Apropos your mail, I could not?help a response, after I had gone through a
news item.
?
You mentioned that the Maoists would have been happier if India were to be
mortgaged to China, and not the US, as alleged by them.
?
This morning I had the occasion to espy a news item which states that
Chinese construction and other companies have netted many lucrative Indian
contracts. Instead of employing Indian labourers, they are bringing in
Chinese labourers on the plea that they need 'skilled' labour and Indian
workers do not have the skill these Chinese workers have. In fact, these
Chinese are allegedly unskilled labourers, and they get Rs.1700/- per day as
compared to Rs.80/- ( I suppose it is what the paper mentioned) per day for
similarly placed Indians. ?

Do you think the Maoists would be pleased that the Government of India is
allowing the Chinese workers to?compete with?the Indian workers this uneven
way? In that case, they should praise MMS and PM and PC to the skies. May be
this piece of news have not reached their jungle hideouts.
?
And one more thing, if you look into this bit of news,?assuming the same to
be true, you'll find the analogy as to why the people residing in the USA
find it?preposterous??that their?smug?democratic country,?which is committed
to?export democracy?world wide just like?its Chinese counterparts,?who try
their brand of communism, is a whipping boy in so many parts of the world.
The economics and international politics of both these countries are now a
days more or less comparable ; difference lies?in their relative?maturity in
the cellars?and therefore, the flavours in the noses of the connoisseurs.
?
I do not think the US citizens like the Chinese gall? causing turmoil in
their financial sector.
?

Uttam, all these hoodlums need is an excuse (to murder in this case).

**The government has mortgaged the entire wealth of the country: forest
wealth, stones, water, everything, they have mortgaged to the Americans.
This we seriously condemn. This should not happen. They are playing with
fire, so fire naturally burns," said Prasad.**

Perhaps, they would have been real upbeat if India had mortgaged the entire
to communist China or someplace.  America is a great whipping boy for these
'champions' of the downtrodden.

It is almost certain, if there was some investigations into the bank
accounts/homes of these people, one would find a lot of ill-gotten wealth.

Hi Uttam,

Hehehe! Such good news probably hasn't reached the Maoists yet! :-) I'm sure
they will be thrilled.

And I'm sure worldwide there are enough people ready to criticize the US on
many fronts, and sometimes rightfully so. But in the end of the day, they so
badly want to copy what the US does. This goes for both countries and
people.

And "go West young man, go West" still holds, I guess :-)
