NVS is right on the money in pointing out that the current PM of India has never ever won an election free and clear. He got appointed by the Gandhi family (not once but twice) as the caretaker of Rahul Baba's PM seat as an appointed member of the Rajya Sabha. After becoming the PM, this man won the Loksabha seat from a Congress friendly seat irrespective of it's location. He is not an MP from Assam.
Judging by the state of economy for the aam aadmi, this man is not a true blue economist. Judging by a fledgling, state of foreign policy, this man is not a statesman. Judging by the law and order situation, especially from the Jihadi angle, this man is not a protector. What exactly is he then? And then despite of his weak and ineffective stature, he has decided like IK Gujral and even to some extent Atalji, that his legacy is going to be the peace between India and Pakistan. It seems from all the reports we are reading that that it is obvious to all but this man that there will be peace when hell freezes over. Since Hindus do not believe in concept of hell (in the Christian / Muslim sense), it will be even longer. Meanwhile the nations security is going to be the collateral damage in the quest of this man's legacy.
Separated by birth?
Forget any Indo-Pak peace until India has a popularly-elected prime minister, says N.V.Subramanian.
16 July 2010: India and Pakistan are skewed democracies. There is no chance of peace between them unless one of them, at a minimum, returns to the true democratic template. Indians smirk at the apology of a democracy called Pakistan but India is no better.
"One other damaging consequence of the disconnect between technocratic Manmohan Singh and the people of India is that he is adamantly pursuing a perilous peace dialogue with Pakistan that goes against public opinion, especially in North India. Partly, Manmohan Singh is on this course to please his American masters (yes, these are strong words), and for the rest, he is carried away by a false sense of "Punjabiat" oneness with the rulers of Pakistan.
I.K.Gujral was the first prime minister to make this Punjabi-Punjabi balle-balle blunder and now Manmohan Singh is strenuously chasing the let's-do-bhangra-together mirage. There is a predominant feeling among the Punjabi Indian ruling class that because it speaks a common language with Pakistani Punjabis, it is in the best position to make peace with Pakistan. You have to ask a Baluch, a Pathan and a Sindhi about Pakistani Punjabis, and abuses will flow"
