Wikileaks: India a puppet in the hands of US?

[The HBS Guy]

That is 1 of many reasons

Did your post say so?

 

[deckingraj]

How Many Indian Leaders In the past have Invited USA or Gone to USA to Have presidential Dinner, How Many Times Have You seen India Signing Defense Deals worth Billion with USA?, How many Times In the past Has USA been more friendly towards this Poor Nation? Only After UPA in Power...

With all due respect relations with US started during Clinton Era....At that time BJP was in power and i am sure if they come to Power this election they will continue the same path...It is not being pro USA but doing what is in the best interest of country...don't u think??

lol ok.

<Flat faced> A Pakistani predicting events in Indian Economy. <Flat faced>

Though one of my degree is in ecnomics and Indian inflation can be atleast a 3 hour lecture.

 

[Hindustani]

India will not fall in that trap as pakistan did.

 

[Hindustani]

US influene has increased in India and no matter how much India denies, US companies will expand and take over the Indian markets in India. US is no longer interested in one way trade in the favor of India only.

Yes US influence has increased (as in jobs lol).. If you mean by Western influence I do agree as well.. you can see it with the Indian movies, social reformations (maybe not as significant), clothing etc.

By your logic, pakistan is now a union of the United States..

Oh I'm so sorry. I guess that will require an entirely new degree altogether.

i beg to disagree sir, the seeds of this alliance was sown during NDA regime. numerous rounds of talks between jaswant singh and his counterparts after nuclear tests laid a foundation for successfull partnership.

Nope talking about the country that gets pounded every second day and in return demands money for being violated .

@ Dhruv V singh, Sonic Boom and Somebozo : stop insulting nationalities.

The Puppet

 

[kingkobra]

i ask all newcomers to please stop insulting others and also senior members stop acting like newbies...

India is just a business partner of USofA in many ways..
we buy defense stuff from them..our companies provide them consultation services..
recent events have also shown us that two countries are becoming strategic partners...
but calling India puppet is not even worthy attempt to laugh at..
puppet is term used for those who are controlled by others and will do anything for money..

I would actually contend Indians take over of American companies is more likely. Be it

Sanjay jha -- Motorola

Rajat Gupta -- Mckinsey ( although disgraced now)

Vinod Khosla -- Sun Microsystems

Ajay Banga --- Master card

Ajit Jain -- Possible successor of Warren Buffet

Rakesh Gangwal -- US Airways ( Former)
