Yes today its India 61st Independence day and I’m sure every one who reads my blog knows it any way.
I’m not a big time nationalist and India has its own internal issues like poverty,corruption,reservation and every thing else that we all know off. But the one issue that India should never face any more in future is the secession of states from the Union of India. Every one knows about the Telangana, Khalistan and even the Tamil separatist movement (total crap) during 60s.
I personally won’t encourage it because as the states separate they become weaker. If a problem cant be eradicated easily in a bigger state with lot of resources how come a smaller state can do that? Yeah you can throw in the concept that its easy to maintain smaller parts but not @ the cost of getting pushed around by powerful countries. Literally you dont have a say in anything.
Look @ Georgia now its getting bullied by Russia like a piece of junk.
Come on India the 2nd largest populated country doesn’t have a veto @ UN but other smaller countries have it. India cant dictate terms in International arena then how come a smaller nation that seceded from India is going to some respect. They will mostly be forced to choose a side and then comes the proxy war between nations.
I was there for the 50th lets hope I make to the 100th in Aug 15th 2047A.D.
I have so much to say on this I will do a podcast later on this topic..
The Ripple Effect
With the United Progressive Alliance – UPA lead by Congress(I) winning the 2009 Indian parlimentary election with a surprise and its ripple effects has started showing up.
Obviously the first place to feel the effect is the closest to the center that’s Srilanka where BBC has reported that Velupillai Prabhakaran leader of LTTE has been killed. Although it could be rumor as usual but pretty much LTTE will be taken of the equation from now on in Srilanka.
But good news LTTE regrets the loss of innocents life ,not able to protect them any more and willing to silence their guns (nice term indeed).
There above statement is like the saying in tamil
which means Praying to the Sun god after losing the eye.
All mayhem over the weekend..
Update – 05/24/2009:
LTTE has finally accepted that Prabhakaran is dead. Hopefully with the end there will be a better solution in srilanka.
