The writers warning is timely but then equally forget the fact that right from Nehru, being a gentleman, mistook the Chinese while expecting equal respect and regards for his infamous Panchsheel. But what we got in return was the unforgettable 1962 impasse. So, there should be no doubt in any Indian mind that the Chinese have not changed a bit and they will not change as long as they have their well-wishers in our own country. And, unfortunately, they have now held the present UPA government in captivity in the guise of extending an outside support. It was a grand plan of the Indian reds to clandestinely help the reds across the border to torpedo from all sides of India. And they succeeded in that endeavor by dislodging the Nepal Monarchy, despite shrewd CIA ploy to keep the Monarchy intact to suit their (American) interest.

Several Indian States from South to North and from East to West are now in the grip of the Maoist or the Naxalite threats. M. Karunanidhi, Chief Minister, Tamil Nadu, has asked political parties to fight Maoist menace. But the unfortunate part of Indian polity is that we have strong supporters of Maoists in the CPM leadership like Sitaram Yechury who had recently praised the Nepal Maoists for bringing democracy there by dislodging the centuries old Monarchy. But, by praising so, Yechury had not clearly indicated his intention behind calling the Indian Maoists to follow similar lines when he know pretty well that India is presenting a better, strong and vibrant democracy in which the Indian reds too are very much a part. It was near possible at a time when Jyoti Basu was about to be selected as the Indian Prime Minister but for an adamant Politburo which Basu himself later described as a blunder. Now, one of the senior-most reds is holding charge as the Lok Sabha Speaker. Long live the Indian democracy but down both the American as well as the Chinese model ruthless imperialism and crooked expansionism.
