LONDON: The United States laid out a red carpet welcome for Prime Minister Narendra Modi on his recent visit. This has not gone unnoticed by world leaders. For a long time the US looked at the world in black and white. You would be on its side or you would be its enemy. During the Cold War between the US-led capitalist nations and Russia-led communist nations, India remained non-aligned. India also had the temerity to condemn the US carpet bombing of Vietnam. The US was known to trigger regime change in countries which it believed to be against it. It was not possible to trigger regime change in India as it was a democracy with powerful institutions. The US took the next best option of propping up Pakistan to checkmate India. During the Bangladesh war, the US sent its nuclear fleet. The then PM of India, Indira Gandhi did not blink and the US fleet had to retreat. Recently released records in the US show that President Nixon and Henry Kissinger said some pretty awful things about Indians and especially Indian women. In the 1960s India requested the US to supply it wheat. The US supplied the wheat begrudgingly and the whole negative experience was a catalyst for the Green Revolution in India. While all this was going on the US was welcoming Indian doctors, academics, IT specialists and scientists. There are now around 2 million Indians in the US. They are the most successful and dynamic amongst all immigrants in the US. It were these members of the Indian diaspora who lined up to welcome PM Modi with the slogan, “Bharat Mata Ki Jai”. It is incredible to see how far India has come as a nation. It is even more incredible to see how the Indian diaspora all over the world has played a crucial role in raising the profile of India. Today the US needs India as much as India needs the US. This however did not stop the peddlers of fake narratives from shedding crocodile tears. In the Guardian Anisha Dutta claimed that the Indian government was secretly trying to improve its image after being labelled a “flawed democracy” by the Economist Intelligence Unit. EIU claims to be an unbiased institution, with its 700 experts who forecast the way a country is going. However, if you dig a bit deeper into this so called unbiased institution you find it is anything but unbiased.
Amongst the people who give money to EIU is the world’s richest family, the Rothschilds. In the 1760s Mayer Amschel Rothschild a German-Jewish started the Banking business. Rothchilds invested in the East India Company and in all its army operations. It gets very interesting from here. See if you can identify the following individual. He is an Indian living in the US and has received the Nobel Prize. He has strongly condemned the stripping of Kashmiri special status. He has said that the Modi government is one of the most appalling in the world. He has also said that the “narrowness of the Hindu thinking is not reflected in similar narrowness Muslim thinking in Bangladesh”. The Modi government, he believes, is working towards a Hindu majoritarian India, especially as it has refused to grant citizenship to Muslim refugees from Muslim countries. It is none other than Amartya Sen, who, incidentally, was married to Emma Rothschild.
An organisation called the US Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) called on Joe Biden to raise religious freedom concerns with PM Modi. This organisation is perceived by some as a front for American missionaries. PM Modi’s visit to the US is a defining moment for both countries. Amongst other things, India signed a deal to buy 31 drones made by General Atomics and joined the US-led Artemis Accords on space exploration to work with Nasa on a joint mission to the International Space Station in 2024. We will soon be seeing India origin scientists working with American Indian scientists. A joint statement by the US and India called the bonhomie between the two sides as “among the closest partners in the world”. Amartya Sen and fellow travellers who have a hatred for Hindu renaissance suddenly find themselves irrelevant, outdated and stuck in the past. These academics, writers and journalists have for decades humiliated the very country that helped them get where they are.
There is no other country in the world that has individuals who rubbish their country of birth in such a way. Unfortunately, these people get a hero’s welcome when they come to India.
