The flotsam & jetsam of Indian

Mulayam Singh Yadav may have lost UP, Chandrababu Naidu may be uncertain of getting back the command at Hyderabad and Jayalalitha's return to Tamil Nadu may appear remote, but these three worthies refuse to remain away from the media glare. Their latest stunt to hog the headlines is based on using the incumbent President Kalam to score some brownie points over their arch rival Congress. It is well-known that Congress has the numbers to install the President of their choice, then why is the so-called Third- Front trying to spoil the party for Pratibha? The answer is not difficult to discern. Firstly, the three leaders have enough time to indulge in frivolous politicking, merely to remain afloat in the political circuit. Secondly, the idea is to embarrass the Congress by hook or crook. These negative tactics will hardly help the Third Front to forge a credible alternative. They will continue to act as political brokers: moving from one block to another, before being finally kicked out of the political scene.

US as the “strategic balancer” in Asia-Pacific

No points for guessing that this project slated to begin construction by end-July is opposed by the US and funded by Iran (National Iranian Oil Company or NIOC is one of the chief financiers of the project costing 50 billion Ringgit or US$14.5bn). China palpably is happy, since Beijing neither can nor does it intend to challenge the US supremacy at sea, thus it is busy aiding such pipeline projects (Gwadar port in Pakistan & Myanmar’s pipeline project from Sittwe to Kunming, capital of Yunnan Province) to ensure the smooth flow of hydrocarbons from the Gulf. Interestingly, Japan too has shown interest in the Malaysian project and is also one of its financiers, along with Saudi Arabia. “Despite the political equations with the US, Tokyo’s strategic energy demands ensure that it supports all initiatives which help it to secure its crude supply-chains”, said Dr. Vijay Sakhuja of the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies, Singapore, in a chat with B&E. The Malaysian initiatives are a cause of concern for Singapore. As Dr. Sakhuja says: “Should the proposed Malaysian mega-project reach its fruition, which it would (given that there is both domestic political & international financial support) and will have an impact on Singapore’s dominant position as Asia’s frontrunner in trans-shipment in Asia.”

The moral of the story is that while the US is busy flaunting its military muscle to secure its economic interests across the globe, others are quietly and diplomatically inching ahead to replace US as the “strategic balancer” in Asia-Pacific.

“The great eventful Present hides the Past; but through the din of its loud life, hints and echoes from the life behind steal in”

It is more of a certainty that Pakistan’s misanthropic misadventure would increasingly spread its fangs much beyond the paradigm of Kashmir to all over India. And it is a bigger certainty that in the new game, Bangladesh would be the new pawn, making sure that for India, internal security becomes much more of a concern than external threats.

Reaping the benefit of this increasing animosity towards India is China, which has its own compulsion to see much of India burning in a slow yet lethal proxy war. On one hand, while it has otherwise maintained a so called peaceful stance, on the other hand, it has been consistently handing over to Pakistan vital nuclear and missile technology to continue to keep India busy. So the elephant, which has not yet fully awakened from the slumber, finds itself surrounded by adversaries armed with lethal arsenal. Under such circumstances, a proposition to not arm her own self – just for the sake of pleasing the peaceniks – is nothing but self defeating. So a nuclear India has embarked on a new mission to continue with its missile development programmes to makes sure that some of them like Agni-III can reach the heart of China.
