This time, the russians aint coming.  They are invited.  Atleast that's
what I hope happened.  i.e., the indian govt, has started seeing some
sense in the chaos that is this world (chock full of bloody democracies ;-)....

John Major just left, after being served what he missed, but what his ancestors
did not.  The raj.  Already the newspapers (aw! well! m.n.s.) have headlines
screaming, ``india's begging bowl has 10 million more pounds from UK'' (10
million?  The metro of vijayawada has more population than that).

Remember the `groans of the press' when PVNR made a public statement when the
gang of 4 (pavlov or whatever those names were) pushed aside gorbachev....
PVNR made statements that sounded like ``Gorbachev deserved what happened,
and all those who are anti-communists are bound to become like him''...
I never heard about the press call it a foux pas;  They called it plain old
stupidity of the MEA and the advisors to the PM.  And that india is the most
`backward' country, when it comes to keeping up with the times...

In telugu we have a saying ``antaa mana manci_kE_nani anukOvaTam''
(everything that happens, should be considered from the positive view)...
Well, the conservatives have remembered that.  I mean the conservatives in
russia (I know for a lot of the netters, the world is India and USA, and nothing
else -- oh! and american sports).  There is definitely a surge of love for india
among the geezers in russia (ofcourse, the younger ones are busy listening to
fried-brain, brain-in-gutter and other hard rock groups from dear old US of A).
We havta utilize this surge, as these geezers arent going to be here (i.e.,
there in russia) for too long.

These geezers have currently forced yeltsin to acknowledge that india exists
and they are probably forcing him to sign a continuation of the infamous
russia-india (UUSR-India) rupee trade agreement, which is quite importnat in
getting customer goods onto russian shelves.  One might say india is an old
friend, someone to lean on, till russia gain strength (and the geezers die)
when it can dump india, and take on the west with its renewed prowess.
And there lies our issue.  We gotta lean on russia, while its leaning on us
(like the cards, in a castle made up of playing cards), and get whatever
symbiotic help we can get, as otherwise, like those playing cards, we are
going to down and out all the time...

The russians know that they have a fantastic chance of signing a MOU for
exchange of great technical knowhow.  The russians have actual materialisitc
technology, while india can provide precious technology of how to deal with
the sensitive muslim issues.  Turkey may be a musl
im (and secular nation) on
paper, but its ruled by unbelievers, who strut around in dark suits and
pour forth ideology of the christian europe.  Iraq is secular, but everyone
in charge of the baath party is a god-forsaken atheist.
Secularists hai naam inkaa.  (Secularist is their name).  Secularism in turkey,
secularism in India...  nehru in india,... turkut ozal in turkey,....
hmmm...  I think I see something...

Its now quite clear to me that there was migration of people (or races) from
outside india to india.  If there was no aryan migration, it doesnt matter,
as now we have migration of a race called secularists, who migrated all the
way from areas near turkey.  Unlike the aryan issue, it is of no relevence
as to WHEN these bastards came in.  What is important is when do we kick them
OUT.

<derailed train putback on rails> Getting back to the MOU, we can teach the
church going russians as to how to respectfully deal with the muslim minorities
and muslim neighbors.  Metaphorically, we have the `experience' of persons of
the 18th century, who were put in charge of the match-sticks, which in those
days were mighty damn unstable, and simply flared up on slightest movement.
Its not the match's fault, its of the guy who made the slightest movement.
Identically, india, has now mastered the art of NOT DISTURBING the matchsticks
(though a bunch of people known as the BJP, have mastered something better :
how to USE the matches to ONLY BURN what they want to burn).

A MOU that is evenly balanced, U might say.  I wouldnt raise an eyebrow, if the
Fligt trainer deal (which right now, is completely in the British hands), is
split (evenly or otherwise) between Yeltsin and John Major.  Major is a fool
in having come earlier (Remember the duryodhana-arjuna episode, when they both
go to meet kRshna, and duryodhana grandly seats himself near kRshna's head...).
Yeltsin has more economic news than major, whose only trump card is AID, the
last thing india wants (I personally rather turn a secularist, than beg for AID,
which incidentally is what I did to get the GTA in Fall-91).  Yeltsin can
provide us factories and equipment for manufacturing almost everything that
till yesterday, were obtained from russians, after a lot of begging.  I remember
reading long ago, that the russians were quite willing to hand over the mig-23
and mig-25 factories and technology to us, as scrap ofcourse.  And that in the
meantime, the indian engineers at HAL, had made incredible modificaitons to keep
them up-to-date till 2000....

Anyway, we see it, secularism, the raj (Not Prof. Raj B.) are dead.  We are
yet to throw away those dead bodies.  Will someone from alt.hindu or hindu
digest, start the dahana saMskaaraas for these 2.  Until someone does that
we will continue to be in that `past', which was the worst of india's `past'.
Lets join hands with russia, in our stubling march towards capitalism and
prosperity and (:since there is nothing like a free lunch:) towards materialism.
