Indians need to get out of isms- especially the socialist-capitalist discourse. Follow if you must 1 ism- realism. Russia today is increasingly capitalist, has been imperialist always. US has Obamacare.

US could have cosied up to India after 1962 China war. But later during late 1960s & 1970s US and China were courting so India was the third partner in the love triangle. I am no Nehru fan but lets not commit same mistake as him- Chinese are our socialist "brothers". The Swadeshi Jagran Manch for example wants local manufacturing but not an LED is made in India. Invest in manufacturing at least if not R&D.
Moreover Pakistan was the suitable boy (stooge) for big brother Uncle Sam. India didn't want to get into cold world conflict but was eventually drawn in when US sent its 7th fleet to aid Pakistan in 1970s,
Last but not the least lets not listen to the victims narratives. The 70s politicians suffered at Indira Gandhi's hands but for all her faults she was a hardcore nationalist. Lets not get into Indiara as CIA-KGB stooge conspiracy theories floated by Swamy & the like.
