Hindus Are Americans' Ally?

Hello Amitabh Tripathi i.e. AT

A great analysis. I agree with many of your views except few which I like to mention here.

Hindus can be Americans ally but only those who loves to grow, who wants progress, who wants change, who hates conservatism, who is not of leftist thinking, who hates old traditions, who loves development, who is not fundamentalist, who loves democracy and so on. Luckly the strength of such Hindus are increasing day by day and I hope because of the liberal brought up of Hindus children unlike Muslims or Christian, have advantages in this information era. And in the days to come, this will become more clear. This sterngth will ensure the curbe of naxalites fobia which I personally feel is the creation of timid UPA government.

As far as Nepal is concerned, I may agree with your views but there are some other dimension to these changes. One is the emergence of democracy. This is a fact and this is happening. Leftist and Muslims may take advantage as they feel or understand but the situation in Nepal is going in favor of America. The world is learning democracy which West is determined to teach illiterate Muslims and communist.

There is second point to Nepal happenings and That is the demilition of Monarchy. In India where Gandhi is shamelessly being propogated as a father, Indians will get opportunity to demolish those established Gandhi figure and look for something better in the days to come. And this will be a good thing. If Muslims and Left are taking advantages of Nepal, these will go negative to them.

So overall, a progressive Hindus, democratic people and aspiring nations will be at advantages. However India is surrounded by such enemies who are still not having any chance to become civilzed. And that IS A THREAT FOR THE MOMENT.
