The PM & Israel
The “Babus” and politicians are odd couples. Both generally dislike each
other but have to remain married. Divorce is not an option. Babus think
politicians are morons, which is sometimes true. Can you imagine an “educated” Babu working for Lalu Prasad
or Salman Khurshid or Uma Bharti and how tough it must be for them? Politicians
dislike Babus because Babus are “educated” who like status quo and dislike
changes. They see politicians as an avoidable nuisance when the country is actually
being run by their league more inefficiently than the politicians can. The
Babus have bestowed upon themselves a divine responsibility to run the country
according to their wishes regardless of who the politician in charge is. See
some of the ex-Babus on TV panels and you will see some are perfect idiots,
like Manishankar Aiyar or KC Singh. You can imagine what nuisance
they must have been while in office. Politicians and Babus are communities that
are a cartoonist’s delight given the comic relief they provide the nation under
any given circumstance. Babus last forever (for the duration of their career)
while in the coalition-era it was hard to predict if the politician in govt
will last till the weekend. Unfortunately for Babus there is now a govt with
full majority without “coalition
compulsions”.
In 1983 Yasser Arafat visited India for the NAM meet and called Indira Gandhi his “sister”. Very touching! NAM
what? Well, NAM is another of those meaningless fossils created by Nehru
and a few others called Non-Aligned
Movement. Most of the current generation wouldn’t even have heard of it.
Not a bad thing either. Goes without saying that all the NAM countries were anti-Israel, the only democracy in the
ME, most of them sham democracies and even Banana-republics like Zimbabwe are
members. Though India had recognised Israel a couple of years after its
formation, full diplomatic relations weren’t established until 1991-92. India
also happens to be the largest customer of Israeli weaponry. India has always
voted against Israel in the conflict with Palestine region for obvious reasons.
Nehru and the Congress (Like MK Gandhi before) sucked up to Muslims in India.
The Congress policy on Israel was neither guided by a sense of justice nor any
sense of fair-play. And according to our media morons and other sundry
terror-sympathisers Israel was always the villain and still remains so for
them. The only thing is, India wasn’t alone there were many other countries
too.
The reason for being anti-Israel, as
explained, is to suck up to the rich oil-supplying Arabs and keep our Muslims
happy. The BJP has traditionally been in favour of supporting Israel as do
Hindus in general. At the BRICS meet in Brazil last year India was part of a
resolution that condemned Israel. This was followed by another vote against
Israel at the UN in July 2014. This stunned most supporters of BJP (and the
Hindus) because Narendra Modi was
seen as seen as a staunch friend of Israel and at the most India was expected
to abstain from voting and not take
sides. So, when Sujatha Singh, of
the Babus, was recently sacked and replaced with the almost-retiring S. Jaishankar there was the usual media
ruckus over a mundane event. Unusually, Singh went to town like a victim on
NDTV and has been whining in the press about the “injustice” done to her. When
someone runs to the corrupt, anti-national NDTV to play victim you can safely
assume it was a good decision by the govt. Remember, Rajiv Gandhi had sacked a
Foreign Secretary at a press conference in a most dishonourable manner.
A few days after Sujatha’s sacking Jayanthi Natarajan also went to media
on how environment policies were meddled with by Rahul Gandhi and implied the “Jayanthi Tax” could well be “Gandhi Tax”. Common folks call it
“bribe”. She was spilling more beans on the corrupt Congress and Gandhis.
Naturally, life-time Congress-bootlicker Rajdeep
Sardesai grabbed the opportunity to equate the episode of Sujatha Singh
with that of Jayanthi Natarajan when there is hardly anything to compare:
As we know, Rajdeep and his C5M wife
have lost their mental balance since they were sacked from CNN-IBN. His career
was built on abusing Modi and earning his “Roji-roti”
as Modi puts it. Modi has become PM; Rajdeep has become a street-thug. The
media didn’t slander Sujatha Singh in anyway as she claims. The reports only
suggest that she was a Babu (or Babuni) who wanted to continue Sonia’s
policies, like being anti-Israel. TOI reports Modi was unhappy over the BRICS resolution and the anti-Israel
vote in UN (And you thought politicians made these decisions?). It seems
logical that Modi treats Israel as a “priority
partner” as the report states and India couldn’t have a better friend in
fighting terrorism. That alone should have made Israel a priority partner. Rajdeep
is not alone. Almost the entire Sickular media behaved as if Sujatha Singh was
a “victim” when there is really
nothing wrong in a PM choosing Babus of his choice. The problem for the corrupt
media and Opposition is that we now have a PM who has his own mind and not a
“Limp Biskit” who previously occupied that office.
The entire episode of playing victim by
Sujatha is laughable as are the “useful idiots” and iRudalis at NDTV and other
media houses. Some PMs do have clear vision on policies. An almost similar
episode was narrated in a satire nearly 3 decades ago. Sometimes satires are
powerful enough to reflect reality. There was this PM who wanted to cancel a
defence order with the US. There was a threat of Commies attacking a
Commonwealth member called St. Georges Island and the PM wanted to abstain from
voting against Israel. The skulduggery of the “Babus” against the PM is better
shown in these videos than my words. Watch this opening video carefully (10
mins):
As it happens the Foreign Secretary and
the Foreign Office follow their own path regardless of what the PM advises
them. And Sir Humphrey does point out, though, that the UN is nothing but a
platform for hate-speeches by some of the most dictatorial regimes. In comes
the Foreign Office guy from the PMO but is he any different from his Babu-colleagues
in the Foreign Office? Here you go (3.20 mins):
The PM does meet the Israeli Ambassador
that evening, who was a colleague of his at the LSE. The Israeli Ambassador
tells him he understands the compulsions of voting against his country and also
offers advice on how to prevent the takeover of St. George’s Island. Hacker
manages to score and has a special
reward for Luke to whose report he wickedly credits his actions. Watch
(3.29 mins):
All’s well that ends well! Imagine,
instead of sacking Sujatha Singh if the GOI had transferred her to Israel as
the Ambassador. She too would have a hard time explaining why India was always
voting against Israel. The games that Babus play depending on their “loyalties”
can be funny and can sometimes backfire. Indian foreign policy has for long
been driven by the most illogical stands right from Nehru down. Our media
morons whine about Gaza all the time as if it is only Israel that is killing
innocent people. It is possible to have good relations with the Arabs and the
Muslim world without India having to make Israel a villain in all cases. Much
of the anti-Israeli propaganda is half-baked and the truth is often buried.
Read this blog at the AmericanThinker to look at the other side of the story.
Whether Sujatha Singh’s grievances are
genuine or not, we do not know. Whether media reports are true or not, we do
not know because we know they are prone to concoct stories. However, India has
a new Prime Minister. He will rely on Babus but has his vision clear. The
sooner the Babus and Babunis realise it is not going to be “business as usual”
it would be better for them. As for Congi pimps like Rajdeep and Barkha who
whine, they can seek posting to an Arab nation if it suits their pursuits.
