Why many Indians are sceptical about pro-American shift in INDIAN FOREIGN POLICY?

When India was pro-USSR, it got USA edgy and they started befriending Pakistan and selling them arms. Now these very weapons are in the hands of terrorits now and being used against US.\n\nUSSR is no longer in the scene as a Super Power and Uncle Sam realises the potential India has as a fast developing economic super power.\n\nNeed I say more?

debatable topic- lucrative business deal or subjugation at the hands of U.S.? i would say it is a mixture of both. this deal will help strengthen the relationship between the two countries. us is using India as a shield against china basically to keep a check on the growing power of china in Asia. from India's point of view the deal is good in some aspects. India is rich in thorium and the research for that technology is still underway. so it needs nuclear supply for the time being. however us has a history of back tracking from deals. and another point to be noted is that India has voted against Iran which might strain the relationship bw the two countries. and the question is whether India is loosing its independence to take international decisions and whether it is growing under us shadow.??

I love them! I think the Indians are generally peaceful, very thoughtful people. You have a rich philosophical and religious system, I've never met a bad Indian, and I don't think I will. \n\nI can imagine you're asking because of America's view against all people with brown skin, however I've never seen the point in blaming Indians. I don't generalize to an entire group of people to begin with, but I think it's silly to think that Indians are really capable of anything so hateful. I mean, come on, did Mahatma Gandhi teach us all nothing? \n\nI hope to visit India one day, I think I'd really enjoy it there.

I think India is a far better place. Human values and other humans do matter.\n\nDivorce is rare, old people are taken care of by their offspring rather than be thrown in a home as is the case in the US or the west\n\nEmotional ties are stronger, the health care is improving, wealth is increasing, infrastructure is improving and the rich culture-over 10,000 years of history, multiplicity of languages, each music to your ears... I could go on and on...\n.\nInspite of a 10000 year history India is a world of mystery,a s opposed to the Us, it's like an old past who has only her past to show, and live off the younger stronger lot as long as they let.\n\nst

Why is that most Indians, like the former Soviets, have a propensity to claim that they "did it first, only the work got stolen, wasn't acknowledged internationally, there was a conspiracy, blah ... blah ... blah!"\n\nGet over it, already.\n\nb.t.w. for those of you who are too thick ... *I* too am an Indian, so no feeble bleating about "racism, neo-colonialism etc. etc...."\n\n---- \nDo I get 10 points?\n\n----\nFrom your post on my question http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ArX54pLeU8W9YV5la.e.P8bsy6IX?qid=20060608091049AAy2Kxi I see that not only do you *not* have a clue, you also have no sense of humour.

THE FOLLOWING CAN BE SAID AS THE REASONS FOR THAT :-\n\n1. THE U.S NOW HAS ADOPTED AN INDIA CENTRIC POLICY BY SIGNING THE NUCLEAR DEAL WITH INDIA .IT WANTS INDIA TO STAND UP AGAINST CHINA WHICH IS ALSO A RIVAL OF INDIA .\n\n2. ALSO INDIA IS NOW FAST BECOMING A MAJOR ECONOMIC AND MILITARY POWER .SO IT NEEDS INDIA TO BE ITS ALLY IN THE FUTURE .\n\n3. INFACT IT IS NOW SILENTLY ALLOWING INDIA TO ACT OF ITS OWN AFTER INDIA VOTED AGAINST IRAN IN U.N COUNCIL.\n\n4. ALSO THE U.S IS SURE THAT THE PROPOSED GAS PIPE LINE IS NOT A EASY JOB - SINCE IT INVOLVES 3 COUNTRIES INCLUDING ARCH RIVALS INDIA AND PAKISTAN . ALSO INDIA VOTED AGAINST IRAN . SO ITS NOT EASY FOR A 3 NATION AGREEMENT .\n\n5. YESTERDAY IRAN HAS DECLARED THAT IT CANNOT SUPPLY THE GAS TO INDIA .

After dumping his Buddy Musharraf,Bush is after India....the way pakistan lend its hand of assistance for BUSH in the war aginst terrorism,they deserve much more from the US.Now,its India,bush is promising the world and exploiting again all the possibilities india could render to the US.....The way Bush's snifer dogs sniffed the Mahatma Gandhi's memorial,no-one on earth would dare to do the same if anyone wanted to visit any memorial in the US the way Bush did,how incensitive to other peoples sentiment.If the Indian security force hadnt posses the capability to secure the US president,the why the US authority has promised to sell more F-16's and F-18's and going ahead with the neuclear deal?Arent those weapons meant for So-Called responsible and able Forces?? can anyone name any other single country thats HYPOCRYTIC to that core like the US??

India is no little child that needs to suckle on America's tit!\nWe are quite capable of taking down Pakistan on our own,we did it without the US three times.Let Iran join the fight for kashmir,i doubt they have any reason to.\nKasmir is an issue that goes back to the time of independence for both the nations (India and Pakistan).\nWe are neighter liable to the US nor are we its lap dog.\n\nThe Indian government stated that the US need not interfear with intimate Iranian matters of state.The US swiftly acted on that descision as irrational and threatened to stop US investmenst in India.India has always been a follower of NAM (Non alligned Movement).\nWhich is a safety stand for a developing nation.We get oil form Iran and we have never had bad ties with any muslim nation other than Pakistan,we want to keep that track record straight.Its easier to do business that way.\nIndia should in no way be a subject to bullying and we wont.

They do and will continue to do so.  Some have 'westernized' their beliefs somewhat but the caste system is alive and strong and will continue to be so.  In funneling much business to India the U.S. government has given their blessings to this discriminatory practice.

Well the question is very combustable. it is a sore point politically for the muslim world.It is a race who controls whom in what way and by whom.\n\nMuslim countries are dominant in the area by number. A certain power wants to control the whole area by the most trusted friend, for obviously for economic/ commercial interest and....where as such a policy these days will breed more contempet and hate.\n\nAll these years,that power enjoyed the fruits by having a hand on the head and a leg on the battacks of these countries and controlled them. But now, they all are raising their eye brows knowing their past, present, & importance.Another concern is that, all muslim countries should not combine together and become a competitor/threat to nations not interested to see such a rise.all these has given rise to this stunt which you termed as double standard.It is not only one power envolved, there are several more.They are behind the scene with the power in front. This is because of vested economical/financial/ industial/ commercial & other interests which may get damaged and they may be hard hit not to recover. They are though powers are not that strong economically to recover the shock of any war, as has the power infront recovered with lot of difficulties.The policy makers while doing this unwilling policy under a heavy lot of pressure from a community holding the specture of that country's finance thus economy etc. etc. The power, even if it does not like the policy itself has little room to maneover under this community's claws. \n\nThe population of the country knows it much too well. Can only lament; and exactly that is what they are doing.\n\nDeduction:\nMuslim countries are rising in all respect may be at snail speed,but in the long run will be a formidable opponent of these particular countries.Look at the African countries. What ever one did they remembered their past with hate and venange.\n\nMuslim people are now polarizing behind a rising power of east. If the power sides with Isreal or India they may gain temporarily but may be a long time looser. \n\nsuggestion: \nEstablish as an equal and just arbitrater in all matters.And strongly implement the rightful decsion irrespective of any country and temporary gain.This will enable to regain the confidence of all countries.  \n\nStill there is a chance.Because still with all enemeosity, countries do look up to the powert till to-day. But the question is for how long.\n\nBy all means help Isreal but should be on equal basis.No one is a baby not to understand the right and wrong.It would be pertinent to point out, that the  power which built up an image for itsef for long fifty years took a couple of years to drain it out as waste for what cause? Was it worth? May be May be not.\n\nThe countries mentioned as friends of the power are 180 degrees apart.Poles apart will never work out.\n\nPower in discussion  must be cautious in this area. Even the Mughals who stayed for over 100 yrs and married locals could not establish real friendship.It is the same country same people may be now more advance in all respect then previous days.TO ME IT SEEMS TO BE A DIFICULT PROPOSTION EVEN IF THE FRIENDSHIP IS LAUCHED.WATHE TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS. THANKS.\n\nRecomendations:The policy should be absolutely impartial come what may, will DEFINITELY lift the image like magic.The question is not Only Iran, Israel or India, the whole world.\n\nto control to-days world do it by friendship not by fire power it will not wot work out. it will increase enemy outside and ay home. THE POLICY I WOULD NOT TERM IT AS DUPLICTY BUT AN UNFORTUNATE ONE NO DOUBT, AT A TIME WHEN THE POWER ITSELF IS THE ELDER BROTHER IN THE COMMUNITY OF NATIONS. Thanks.

Well, there is the stereotype that indians are nerdy and always studying. Also the fact that you see whole families going to grad schools probably makes the other people insecure. They might also feel resentment as the Indian kids are taking up spots their own kids might have had. Indians place a lot of emphasis on education and excelling in education, and this might make the average joe uncomfortable because they don't see education as the make all and break all.

Discrimination and the fear from the majority that smart Indians if given a chance might take over all important posts. Malaysia, Indonesia or even Singapore is not a place for smart Indians to work, live or Invest, they should move towards Europe or West.

Useful for India but bad for America. There will be more outsourcing of American jobs, and sharing our nuclear technology with them is a big mistake.  Today they are our friends but what in about 5 years?  11 years ago we were boycotting India.  \n\nDid you know that the US supported Saddam in the past?

They accepted the price of supporting the Soviets in the Cold war.\nBut with globalisation, it just makes sense that the world 2 largest democracies, should move forward in tandem.\n\nThe Cold war era is past. Commercialism makes American products, in demand in India. Technology means Indian savvy, appeals to American firms.\n\nThe rise of China makes sense for these 2 nations to build stronger ties as a buffer.

He would be definately welcome in India, coz most Indians view America favorably and would welcome assistance in developing the nation and move forward and progress.\n\nDitto the opposite in Pakistan. Pakistanis would rattle the usual anti-west song.

Their rules may not apply to the conditions in India. Each country must evolve its own policies based on the conditions of the people. \nAbout why people will not stay back in India, it is good question. There are a lot of social status/importance attached to a foreign visit/stay. If that is the state how do you expect it to improve.\nThe government is making things worse. The reservation policy is becoming better by the day! Why will the people belonging to general merit category want their children too to suffer like them?\n(All these are my personal views)
