The article looks like its written by a Lankan A Roy, albeit with less flowery verbiage
Its simply the food chain of global geopolitics. Smaller species that do not evolve quickly to defend themselves or achieve symbiosis with bigger species will perish.
One can't wish away neighbours or mothers in law. Have to live with, one way or the other.
If Lankans haven't registered that India as a next door neighbour has more stake in long term well being of SL than China which is an ocean away, and that their most benign big brother is Modi, then they will make more mistakes. And they are complaining India won't let them make those mistakes again and again.
Cyrano ji,
If their deceitful and treacherous actions and moves against India are going to be overlooked and forgiven so very easily, they will continue on to bigger perfidious outrages, knowing that there will be no blowback. Some of it is being done in coordination with the cheen, like when some lankan sob official accused adani of bribery in the solar plant project
one has never understood this hallucinatory and delusional line:
One can't wish away neighbours. This is the poison that the commies have filled the school textbooks with and our leaders are mouthing it as though it is some just invented geopolitical panacea
One has never heard a european or amriki or russki or whatever politico use this dumb line ever and yet in India and among India's neighbours, it is a constant refrain, repeated ad nauseam.
the first politico who used this phrase in India is/was a neurotic, paranoid, and pretentious idiot. You can close the borders, regulate entry strictly, and stop this nonsense of "vasudhaiva kutumbakam", stop smuggling and human trafficking, and finally, if they don't listen, use the pressure of trade and less of this oil pipelines and power grids when Indians themselves are in a position where they pay high prices for almost everything that we "export" so generously to these ingrates
Every one of our neighbours has knowingly and willingly accommodated the cheen, in full knowledge of the fact that their actions are hurting us, and yet, all of them have wilfully done it. Are we to put up with such fleas and leeches just because:
One can't wish away neighbours
It's geopolitical shorthand for "everything will continue as before and there is bugger all that you can do about it"
If they are insisting and doing their thing, what's stopping us from doing our thing, i.e. putting India, first always and every time.
India needs to assess, understand, assimilate, and then de risk the problem by looking at the situation on the ground and finding solutions that do not harm Indian interests, neighbours and their problems be damned, we will get to them when we can and protect ourselves first, before "helping" them out
Why are we subsiding oil, gas, and electricity for them, while Indian pay high prices for the same
Understand just what has the Modi govt done with the pakis today, ..... it has simply "wished them away" and their corrupt ministers, their uncivil "civil" society, and their abduls and ayesheyas have clearly understood the fact that all trade has stopped because they themselves (im the dim) stopped it.
Do we need to go through the very same prithviraj chauhan's repeated self defeating moves on the battle field, citing some idealized concept of "honor" and holding on to it despite the dangers to his kingdom, failing to see the reality of his enemy, and ultimately, he failed his people, the very people that he had sworn to protect because he did not do what was needed to be done, completely failed to assess the looming risk before him, and they finally got him like they will get us one day unless we take steps to circle our wagons and put India's supreme national interests first, not accord needless supremacy to the interest of any and every phata abdool neighbour. These so called neighbours have never reciprocated our misplaced generosity and that to has been covered by another paki born Indian PM and his idiotic ideas of "non reciprocity" in dealing with all our jihadi neighbours
But now, the pakis and their perfidious acts against the Hindus and India has had a huge blowback on their economy, society and badly affected their quality of life and reduced them to beggars.
Yes indeed, we "wished" them away, and why don't we do the same with the other recalcitrant clowns like the beedis if it serves our purpose
even during the floods, the GoI made a very cursory offer to help and predictably, the pakis refused it and we went on our way, thereafter completely ignoring them. Today their awam is still full of hatred but these same hate filled creatures are all asking "why doesn't India help us"
it was the same haseena who proclaimed loudly from the roof tops that there was not a single beedi in India, even as a flood of these vermin were pouring across the borders on a daily basis, with hatred in their hearts and revenge on their minds
This nonsense about people to people contacts is going to kill us. There are no more you tube videos about pretty beedi girls at some beedi university or the other, hating on India and the Indians and cursing the Hindus, but as soon as the beedi crises pass, they will surface again. Are these vermin the kind of "people to people" that you want to maintain contact with, do they deserve the people to people nonsense that we seem so hell bent on forcing upon them, and what is our benefit from all this, we don't even have their nominal goodwill, forget friendship and other such bunkum.
Every paki born Indian politico who has risen to some power and status in India has damaged India to the fullest extent that they could before they demitted office and accorded the pakis maximum benefit, even if such benefit went against Indian interests.
Thankfully, such stray and mangy street dogs don't exist anymore
