Re: India-US relations: News and Discussions IV
Sorry for OT, but is anybody aware of any good civil lawyers in Massaland, preferably Indian, who are of dharmic bent? Whisper and giggle campaigns are going on in KB (under the guise of "humor") involving caste. Maybe put together a memo explaining the situation and reach out to Rajiv ji.

The only way that both the minorities and the majority can win respect, is for the ruling junta to be from a MINORITY. Then they have to be careful not to biss off the majority to the point of rebellion. This is why Iraq under Saddam, and Syria under Assad, were reasonably stable. This insight also...

Thank you Tandav; we've looked at: 1. Gandhian/minimalist system (village based, cottage industries). Low output but high happiness. We dropped this in an unseemly hurry the first chance we got.

There's hardly any modern country that is not confused about identities. Maybe the Russians, maybe the Chinese, maybe the Australians. Maybe a couple more countries like Japan or Switzerland. The US has a plenty strong inner jihad waging to figure out what it wants to be.
