The Italian term sprezzatura—a studied nonchalance that conceals intention—best captures the spirit of Trump’s foreign policy so far. The pattern is unpredictability, transactionalism, and disruption as diplomacy.
With 20.2 percent of its total loans in default by the end of last year, Bangladesh had the weakest banking system in Asia. Despite reforms, it will take time to recover.
This world is being restructured and redrawn by one man, and what’s his power? It’s not his formidable military. It’s trade. With China, it turned on him.
Mr. Baker and Jeremy Corbyn, British has only managed to make things worse wherever they participate. Remember your colonial past and ongoing Brexit drama. The whole world is laughing at you. Don’t lecture India. We aren’t your colony, get over it! Instead send all the criminals who fled India that you are harboring in your country. You can keep the Pak goons – good luck. Who else wants to be in Britain in any case.
Jeremy Corbyn will now be known as the famous India hater, like general Dias. We didn’t know much of this person earlier. fair enough, 1 Bn Indians will return the favor by hating him too! Let’s make him famous.
The Labour Party has always been against India. Harold Wilson supported Pakistan in the 1965 war. In the 71 war, again their stand was ambiguous. Nothing much has changed even today.
Brits are naturally duplicitous in nature, lack character, and can never be trusted. They are trying to destroy the EU and now again trying to stir trouble in India. They forget that even today the largest private sector employer in UK are the Tatas.
We should actively encourage Indian industry to leave UK and relocate to the Continent. And exclude British Govt and private sector from all major defence and civilian contracts.
Indians usually don’t use their influence as a voting block as they are more integrated in the country they live in. It is appalling how British Pakistanis are being pandered by the labor party for votes. Surprised to see the labor party is mum when Pakistani community in UK is protesting against inclusion of LGBT rights in school curriculum. Is this liberal values? Labor party is setting a precedence that will come back to haunt them. In any case India has to fight on it’s own. Even though India much more democratic than many countries in the world it seems like power (China) and voting block (British Pakistanis) will have more support in UK. UK hosts all the criminals that has fled India. UK government supported BBC spews venom all the time against India. Ofcourse not everything in India is perfect, like anywhere in the world. Certainly everything is not good in UK! However, it seems like the onus of the problems in the world has to be shouldered by India. Wonder why they have this high handed attitude – does some British still think India is a colony? Please keep away as Indians know you have given us more misery than peace, and looted us for a century. Ofcourse Pakistan is defacto colony of China, US, and UK (aspiring). Don’t mix up Pakistan with India though.
When has India eased the restrictions? Still no internet, sms texting, no protesting , restrictions on movement(nothing between 8:00pm and 6:00am). 7,000,000.00 people are in lockdown!
Billings – your concern if of value of not even one shilling.
You Brits never learn. You are already the laughing stock of Europe, can’t decide whether to stay in EU or exit. But the real fun will start when you are actually out and grovelling to sell your wares to the EU. Rest be assured, the local Pakis you support will bomb your trains and busses again.
Where were you when Kashmiri Hindu and other community over 500000 were thrown out of their home and made refugees in their own country, India? This happened in late 80s and early nineties not to far in history. Brits are looters of world in many countries, and remember Indian soldiers fought on your side during WWII on insistence of MK Gandhi. UK Labor partyis subservient to US shows their real independence
Britain’s Labour Party is not fringe, as were the MEPs who visited Kashmir recently. It is as mainstream as the Conservative Party, could come to power on 12th December. So the stance it has taken should be seen as a setback for our diplomacy. What happens on the subcontinent should stay on the subcontinent. Bringing the diaspora into our politics, or using it as a strategic asset for our diplomacy with foreign governments merits reconsideration. People of Indian origin have voluntarily surrendered their Indian passports. Let them enjoy their fish and chips and ale peaceably in a British pub.
Again wrong understanding. First generation diaspora or migrant well-qualified permanent residents will always be influencers and instruments of diplomacy irrespective of your wishes or arguments against. It is their choice whether they want to be India’s friends (just like you keep counting India’s enemies) in US and British establishments). As far as the Labour Party is concerned, wait and watch. Don’t be surprised if it is a coalition government. And if Corbyn comes to power on his own, then wait for the Pandora’s box to be opened. Trump and Corbyn won’t get along. Israel will be unhappy and if Corbyn decides to play two-faced communist, extreme liberal punk then his say on Kashmir will be null and void. Till then you keep dreaming and wishing. But do buy burnol for your burns while your keep a watch on international politics sitting in some room.
You may like to read Dr Tanvi Madan’s tweets, which are tangentially related to this issue. Some good advice about not getting mixed up with politics abroad.
Why do we waste print space on useless US lap dog and a had been european and what happens there. Close the chapter and forget “Great” Britton.
