WALL STREET JOURNAL WARNS INDIA OVER MYANMAR
After Iran, it is over its relations with the neighboring Myanmar, that
India is being chastised by the minions of US administration. The way, a
major US financial newspaper had entered into a 'strategic partnership' with
one of India's premier English newspaper, Hindustan Times, to float an
Indian newspaper, very aptly named MINT, the dangers of American media
directly interfering in India's internal affairs, has now come to its
logical conclusions. In its editorial (September 25,2007), the MINT uses few
words, but with devastating confidence of a direct proclamation issued to
Indian government to 'stop trying to deal with the generals in charge of
Myanmar'. The world is witness to a sudden focus by the whole US media
machinery on a defenseless third world country; instigating a public
uprising through its Buddhist clergy ('any stick to beat that dog') that is
rocking Myanmar's capital Rangoon, day after day. The spin is about
'liberating Myanmar people from a brutal and undemocratic regime', though
the main objective is to plant its own proxy, be that with all apparent
legitimacy of a democratic anointment, and corner Myanmar's oil assets. We
have seen that same tried and trusted game plan in the neighborhood of
Russia, when one by one, its neighboring countries were subverted through
instigated public uprising with a view to place US proxies at the helm of
their affairs.
India has substantial stakes in the gas reserves in Myanmar that were easily
available to its north and northwestern region, through pipelines being
planned in conjunction with Bangladesh, that has its own vast gas reserves.
The US wants over lordship over these vital resources. After imposing its
virtual control of the vital oil and gas reserve, US will turn out and
supply the same to India, albeit at bloated prices, and at the time and rate
of its own choosing. The fundamental objective is to control all gas and oil
resources and not let the co-called 'strategic partner', India finalize its
own bilateral arrangements either with Iran or Myanmar.
If for India's Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, this is not curtailing India's
freedom to have free and independent bilateral relationships, and not
compromising its sovereignty as a free nation, then what worse conditions,
we should let India be dragged into, before we realize it is too late.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and defence minister Pranab Mukherjee, a more
seasoned political strategist, should read the writing on the edit pages of
MINT and realize which direction this 'strategic partnership' will
eventually drag India into. There is still time, that both the Brahminical
political parties wake up to the dangers of cozying up with the
neo-colonists of the US and Israel with open arms and blank cheques. Saner
elements in Indian media too should fall back on their objective analysis
tools and expertise to visualize, where this strategic partnership with the
US will end up. Are we to become next Pakistan in this subcontinent?
