Forgotten ally-Russia

Breakup of USSR led to a power imbalance. There was no one to challenge the mighty Americans. India had to re look at her foreign policies and with the passage of time we showed more inclination towards USA for everything right from defence, nuclear deal or complaining the wrong deeds of our neighbors.
But how good is this for India as a country who is sorrounded by 'not so friendly' neighbours. US president will be arriving in India with a long list of demand that includes defence deal worth USD 12 billion plus. This will make US the biggest supplier of arms. Apart from that it will provide the much needed impetus to US economy and supposedly provide employement to 60K Americans.
Giving job to Americans is not my concernce but can we depend on US for arms. In the past we have seen that Americans are the first to pull the strings whenver there is some aggression shown by us on borders. They have the critical technologies which they are not going to share. This makes the deal more vulnerable.US will have the control on the much needed spare parts or the supporting equipments and, they can stop the supply in the event of any aggression from our side.
We should maintain a balance. Although Russia is not that powerful but we can undertake joint arms development. Brahmos is a best example. Together we can develop better weapons which will not only serve the purpose of both countries but help economically grow . India and Russia have recently agreed to co-develop the world’s premier fighter. This will be a step ahead of the US Air Force’s F-22 Raptor, which currently rules the skies. The deal will get finalised some where in December when Russia's president visits India.
Russia had remain our time tested friend hence in future also i still believe this will be the only country apart from Israel which can help India without asking any questions.
Obama's visit is more like a businessman's trip who will come here and sign some deals or pressurise India to sign. US corporates have a huge say in any policy making and such a strong lobby will definitely ask for more from him.
I dont think the current government is in a position to act . Some times we forgot that we are also an independent nation and no one dictate us. Hey waheguru ji hamarey PM ko sadbudhi dena.

Hum sab CoRrupt hai

2012...End of the world...Thats what few people predict..इसलिए जी लो ज़िन्दगी...
I am not sure if its gonna happen or not but atleast few(or should i say most) of the netas, babus and some defence personnel have taken this as a deadline.

We are use to these corruption news 'Breaking' every minute on 'Your' Channel. Whether its CWG mess or 2G spectrum allocation in Telecom. Well the list is long and I don't want to waste this space by mentioning the names of Netas as 99% of them are either corrupt or support corruption(inaction against corruption should fall under the same category..hope Dr.Manmohan Singh is listening).

Surprisingly few top Defence officials name too came in some of the scams. Although its a bit surprising as this is the only Organization which Indians are proud of and is known for its integrity.
But I was not surprised by the name which made the headlines. Mr. Kapoor is one of the main accused along with some of his colleagues.
His track record or should i corruptrack record has remained into news. Like any other true Jawan he loves his motherland. But some how the love is too materialistic as far he is concerned. While rest of the Jawans take pride by defending the borders , this guy shows his love by acquiring/grabbing lands and asking favors from netas.
Aksai Chin or POK or even J&K(remember 307 article) में लैंड deal करता तो भी समझ में आता की he is doing it for a cause.
But here the purpose is some what different. अब समंदर से एक दो बूँद कम हो जाये तो किसे पता चलेगा(Defence has a huge land bank across).

I have full faith in our current Army Chief Gen। V.K. Singh who is known for his integrity just like any other defence personnel. I am sure the enquiry being undertaken will definitely help in cleaning this system.

Its tough man

Few days back only i was discussing with some one that all my leaves will remain un claimed as during Chath puja we are not going to Ranchi. Didnt know that a new visitor will come and eat up all my leaves. Am down with chicken box and currently 'Nazarbandh' in a room to avoid Advik :(
