Entry: Why blog? Tuesday, April 04, 2006



Admist all the chaos which im told is called routine, my blog turned 2 last week.(On that note,I turned 22 three weeks back).

Why blog to Why blog...One long trip

It was'nt exactly the lack of ideas that kept me away from blogging, but it was rather a case of ideas not being able to do enough justice to laziness.

The nuclear deal with US was'nt only about energy resources.It was about the nation with the largest number of people below the poverty line agreeing to be a part of the whole Eco-Political setup which United States is trying to impose on the world.'With us or against us',as bush once blatantly put it.With the third world block(Venezuela,Brazil..) in South america heading leftwards despite the severe arm twisting tactics by the United states,I can't see any reason that India should consider it a practical impossibility to not see itself as a part of what United states terms as the 'coalition'.


Any takers for ethics in foreign policy?

I agree with you..the state of our politics is that eventhough we are a democratic country nothing is being done to empower the poor.
Good post.

In agreement with Vaibhav, and in addition to what he had said, there is no reason for India to join the "coalition" as you call it, or for it to endorse the "whole Eco-Political setup which United States is trying to impose on the world." The problem with any kind of propaganda, either left wing or right, is that while a lot of noise is made, relevant noise is not made. Would the communists really have us believe that a farmer dying of debt came all the way to delhi to shout "Killer Bush go Back" because he was really troubled with the neo-imperialistic policies of the US and was in disagreement with the unilateralism of the US post 9/11?

Hey, looks like you and I know a lot of people in common. I was in College till 2004, Yohan's batchmate... came through here from Chinmaya's blog.. and I think you know Chandra and gang too...

Your name had been popping up here and there... thought I'd say hi...

incidently, I am not exactly a rightist by any stretch and am anti-Bush in general but...

Traditionally, it is not unethical foreign policy that hurts the poor but corruption within the system... don't you think that closer economic and cultural ties with liberal democracies (and despite its present conservative regime, the US still remains one) serves our interests by ensuring that the govt. no longer remains the only source of ideology for the masses...

Corruption skews wealth distribution... this is a self-propagating phenomenon... but economic growth in itself creates an "opportunity" to empower the oppressed.


IMO, the problem is not unethical policy, but ratther unaccountabilty.
