Indian Opinion

Mukesh Devrari In my opinion, it is futile to seek confrontation for few kilometres of land in this day and age on the grounds that hundreds of years ago or thousands of years ago it belonged to us, now it belongs to our neighbours, but we don’t accept it. China’s military may succeed in intruding at certain places, but it would not be possible for China to substantially alter the 3488-kilometre long boundary. If CPC thinks it can change the LAC as per its imaginary borders with India military force, then it must be looking at the full-fledged attack on India which might result in the killing of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians on both sides. If the human lives are important than it is immaterial whether the widow lives in Shanghai or Mumbai. After much bloodshed, even if China succeeds in capturing Tawang region of Arunachal Pradesh and parts of Union Territory of Ladakh. Will it be worth it? Although CPC can go to any extent to achieve its objectives. ...

Mukesh Devrari Decolonization is a continuous process. We might have succeeded in throwing the British government out of this country seventy-five years ago, but as a nation, we failed in throwing out the British influence out of this country. The word British symbolizes the entire western world. It was not a single nation state. It was a manifestation of the European idea of supremacy over other beings. We achieved our political freedom. With it, by default we attained our economic freedom to some extent and utilized it for a few decades to advance our national interests. However, economics is no longer exists within a nation state alone, it exists in must bigger and connected global structure. Third is cultural freedom. India did not utilize its cultural freedom to ouster alien cultures out of this country, not in the sense of complete decimation, but in the sense of diluting western cultural hold on our society. Political Decolonization India is a success story. It i...

Mukesh Devrari  India must learn from Donald Trump. He is a true patriot who talks straight. His straight talking uncovers the western sophistication and ideology. West has only one ideology. It is the national interest. Over the last few decades, this national interest turned into white men’s interest. The US treated itself as a large entity representing the interests of Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. Japan and South Korea were late entrants in the club. Trump has simply declared the US will abide by the rule-based world order if the existing rules fulfil US interest. If the rules established by the US a few decades back are not compatible with contemporary US national interest, then it has no interest in abiding by those rules. Earlier US regimes were no different, but they were more sophisticated and resorted to manipulative tactics after taking its allies into confidence. On a trade dispute with China, the US has declared that if trade balance was not corre...

Mukesh Devrari  Western powers exploited third world countries by occupying them. British Empire was an economic project, not a racial one. It ensured that the UK becomes the richest nation on earth. Slowly all nation-states demanded independence. To maintain their economic supremacy western powers needed unbridled access to markets in third world countries. Without this access, the west cannot keep its economic supremacy intact.  Western powers created a propaganda structure. They invented the economic order.  They created a set of rules and declared them universally applicable and essential for the progress of all nations on earth. West encouraged third world countries to adopt liberal market policies. It preached by practising it. Free market doctrine claimed that western nations are open to all kinds of investment from around the globe. They claimed that there is no discrimination in the west. Whether a company interested in doing business in the ...
