It is amusing to see that on this forum, it is generally believed that if NM doesn't return to power, India is doomed.
How do we know that Shashi Tharoor or R^3 or even Omar Abdullah will be a horrible PM choice ?

PS: The Sinha duo from Bihar would not even get the dignity of a used condom irrespective of who forms the central govt.
This question does not deserve an answer.
Go back in time when PVNR was about to become PM of India in 1991. How BGR would have roasted him and his promoters for him being a dynast and true blooded Congressi and flop-show hero of 1984 Delhi riots and someone with no worthwhile achievement and what not.
Guess who would have had the last laugh ?
Bottom-line, the destiny of India does not end with NM not getting re-elected nor it deserves the rudali act.

^^Whether it "ends" or not cannot be foretold, but what is certain is that Bharat (not "India") will be hugely set back within our lifetimes if the UPA or other "seculars" come back. The real progress and hope created in the last 5 years will be undone, another 10 years of darkness, and then it is uncertain whether we can come back again with the same force. So basically another 20 years gone.

Read between the lines and understand, before making any more poorly considered posts. It is very easy to "kick the can down the road" and say that India's destiny will take care of itself later. Doesn't work that way.

Things seem to be hotting up again in KA.

- 2 MLAs (one Independent and one KPJP) have withdrawn support to the sham goremint of JDS-INC.

- BJP's 104 MLAs have been moved to far-away Gurugram. That is a big step, so something real must be happening.

- It is speculated that a handful of Congis are ready to "jump ship".

This link gives a good roundup:

https://www.timesnownews.com/india/arti ... ral/347683
"Today is Makar Sankranti, and on this day we want a change in the government. The government should be efficient, so I am withdrawing my support (to the Karnataka government) today," Independent MLA R Shankar said.

"My support to the coalition government was to provide a good and stable government, which utterly failed. There is no understanding among coalition partners. So, I have decided to go with the BJP to install a stable government and see that the government performs better than the coalition," H Nagesh said.
Such confidence seems to indicate that these two guys have some information about an imminent goremint change. Let us see.

Meanwhile, "Namma Buffalo" (HDK) says he is "totally relaxed" while people are jumping ship around him. Usually this fellow is seen weeping and wailing in public and airing his woes on goremint functioning being impeded by INC. If he is "relaxed" now, then maybe he will be "elated" later when JDS-INC goremint no longer exists. :mrgreen:

I hope BJP doesn't pull down the govt in KA. At least till after the general election.

Pulling it down now will put BJP in bad light, we've endured them for 6 months, another 6 months is tolerable. BJP MLA are itching for power, and won't mind forming the govt at the cost of listing power in the federal government.

I disagree. A BJP goremint will be more stable than the fake JDS-INC goremint. Governance is at a standstill. The people of KA did not vote for this joke of a goremint.

At the minimum a new election should be forced.

This will not have any bearing on the LS elections. If anything, it might benefit the BJP if the new election is held concurrently with the LS 2019.

Shows the long standing perfidy of the britshits and the amerikis, without conscience or an iota of gratitude for the sacrifices of the Indian people and her soldiers in the two great wars.

No matter what they say now, this is the true genetic nature and the inherent national character of these two countries.

even today, they conspire against us in sparing no covert effort to separate cashmere from India while mouthing diplomatic platitudes to soothe India and keep her docile while the BIF wreak havoc.

Despite the deluded nehruvian pipe dreams, India will never become a part of the old boys club ever. we should beware. Forces much more potent than edwina are and have been constantly at play here.


How India Paid to Create the London of Today



How India Paid to Create the London of Today

A sudden change in the currency with which old debts to the colonies had to be paid helped Britain consolidate its status as a financial centre

Kannan Srinivasan
20/APR/2017

The UK is a tax haven closely connected to other tax havens it has set up. Its trade deficit is therefore offset by the money pouring in from its own tax havens. Almost 90% of net capital inflows to the UK come from just Guernsey, Jersey and the Isle of Man. So far, there has been no decline in such funds with the news of Brexit. Britain enjoys a significant measure of protection from the consequences of leaving the EU by virtue of this rush of cash.

How did London achieve this status of being a major financial centre? Knowing this history might be useful, especially for Indians, as the country played a role in it, thanks to the steps taken by Prime Minister Clement Attlee’s Labour government in 1947, employing the resources of newly independent India.

As war broke out in 1939, the trade surpluses run up by India, Egypt, Brazil and others trading primarily in sterling, were withheld by Britain. Total debt to all such creditors (excluding the US, which obtained British businesses and naval and aircraft bases in return for cash) amounted to £3.48 billion. In addition, two and an half million Indian soldiers fighting in Italy, North Africa, the Middle East and the Far East were paid salaries; when any died, their widows were to be paid pensions by the government of India, which remained uncompensated even as the war ended. All this made India (which included the future state of Pakistan) the largest Allied creditor after the US. Britain owed her £1.335 billion ($5.23 billion, which is about $59 billion today). Britain owed the next largest creditor, Egypt, £450 million. At a conservative estimate, the debt to India amounted to about a fifth of the UK gross national product, or seventeen times the annual government of India revenue at highly depressed prices.

India, and other such creditor countries, expected that their future economic development could be significantly financed by the money owed by Britain. But with a run-down industrial economy in 1945, the UK had little that such countries needed.

What the creditors wanted was dollars. They expected, with the money to be released by Britain, to import the plant and machinery they needed from the new leading industrial power, the US.

White plan

There seemed, at first, to be a way to get such convertible currency. Harry Dexter White, the chief adviser to US treasury secretary Henry Morgenthau, framed a scheme for the purchase of these balances, in stages, by the new fund to be set up after the war, the subsequent injection of liquidity, and re-purchase.

But, as White was aware, if Britain honoured her enormous debts in this way, that might have meant a more rapid disbanding of the British occupation of Aden, Greece, Malaya and many African countries. The Royal Navy would not have had the resources to play a role of any significance, nor would Britain become a nuclear weapons state. India, Egypt, Brazil and others might have fared far better than Britain did. And, as will be become clear, London would not have become the new hub of international finance.

The celebrated economist John Maynard Keynes had been appointed by the UK government to negotiate post-war arrangements with the United States and other countries. He fiercely resisted this White Plan. He set out to make sure that the sterling balances could somehow be conjured away.

Over the next year, he lobbied effectively in Washington DC — his hard work seemed to pay off. So when the great conference took place at Bretton Woods in 1944 to lay out the post-war reconstruction of the global economy, and the sterling issue was raised by Egypt and by India, the US treasury team abandoned its own commitment to “liberate blocked balances”.

Another ray of hope

Yet after these creditor countries lost out at Bretton Woods, they drew hope from a key provision of the Anglo-American Loan Agreement. Under that treaty, the US provided a credit of $3.75 billion repayable over 50 years at 2% on the specific condition that Britain made the pound sterling convertible into any other currency for current transactions. Accordingly, the pound sterling was made convertible the July 17, 1947.

So as India negotiated the terms of these sterling balances in London over the course of August 1947, her team expected to convert their assets into dollars.

Hope betrayed

But the Indians were unaware how much had changed in Washington DC. The new president, Harry Truman, had changed virtually the entire cabinet he had inherited from Franklin Roosevelt. The people India had thought it could count on to keep Indian interests in mind had been replaced by determined Cold Warriors entirely unsympathetic to India, such as Dean Acheson. At the same time, these new hawkish Truman aides saw Britain – with her enormous network of bases all around the world and large armed forces everywhere – as the key ally.

Emboldened by her new status, Britain is said to have secretly sounded out the US, and received a discreet assurance that she could avoid repaying India, Pakistan, Egypt and others their wartime debt in convertible currency.

So, as India’s representative, B.K. Nehru wound up India’s negotiations in London for the transfer of the balances he was mystified by what his British counterpart murmured to him.

“Wilfred Eady ..said to me (August 15, 1947), ‘Watch your dollars’,” Nehru has written. Nehru did not understand.

“Why should he talk about dollars when the pound had become convertible? All the sterling would become available for purchases in the dollar area, so why did he want me to watch my dollars?”

He was to find out when Britain renounced the convertibility of the pound sterling on the current account within five days of signing the agreement with India.

As Nehru ruefully acknowledged, this “immediately changed the character of the agreement which we had entered into. The pounds released were no longer usable for what we wanted to buy.”

Britain then devalued the pound in 1949, diminishing the value of the claims of the creditor countries by thirty per cent.

What if?

Had Britain not defaulted on convertibility, many countries would have switched to the US dollar in order to finance their imports. Thereafter the central banks of the world would have cut back on their holdings, effectively exiting from the pound sterling.

It was not in Britain’s interest to allow that to happen. Given that the US dollar was the premier international currency, the pound sterling now had to survive at least as the secondary currency for the purpose of international settlement. So default on convertibility was the absolute precondition in order to ensure a gradual drawdown on sterling.

This gave London the time to re-invent itself. Since so many central banks around the world were compelled to hold sterling and therefore trade as much as they could with the UK, Britain survived as an important financial centre. As the stock of US dollars held outside the US grew, it was bound to attract the interest of innovative financiers, and the most innovative were in London. Merchant bankers in the city first saw the potential of trade and investment in this Eurodollar market. The enormous volume of transactions in the Eurodollar market enabled London to return to its role before the First World War, as the most important centre of international finance. Post-war Britain was on its way.

In the meantime, creditor countries such as India and Egypt had to settle for occasional drawings of pounds sterling that they could convert into no other currency. They therefore had to buy goods from nowhere else but the UK. But British industry however had in many areas ceased to be internationally competitive in terms of its prices or technology. So this arrangement suited not the holders of sterling, but the UK, in that she could sell them obsolete plant and machinery at higher prices than would been possible in any free market. The UK had found a captive export market for goods that could be exported nowhere else. India’s imports of the Ford Prefect, the Standard Vanguard, the Morris Oxford, the Indian Naval Ships Delhi and Mysore, all date from the golden age of sterling balances.

But as independent India faced acute food shortages, her stock of sterling could buy her none. She had to turn to the World Bank and IMF to make up the convertible currency she needed, and pay for imports of food courtesy the Aid India Consortium, composed of the World Bank and a group of countries that included, ironically, the UK.

Britain gained the opportunity to employ her former colonies, and possessions of the Crown, to organise capital flight from all around the world. The Cayman Islands, Cyprus, Dubai, Guernsey, Hong Kong, the Isle of Man, Jersey, Mauritius, Singapore and many other such tax havens enable wealthy individuals to conceal their liquid assets. Yet their close connection with London, that most efficient financial centre, enables the best possible returns for the super-rich. All this is possible because Britain avoided honouring her war time debts to India and other countries promptly, and in convertible currency. The enforced Indian loan acted as developmental finance to the UK economy. India’s sacrifices during the war and after may have benefited it but little. But they certainly made possible the London of today.

Saar, we as a nation have seen corrupt regimes (exception BJP), and we have lost money/time etc...due to all that as well.

However if we look into the overall globalization objective, the wealth distribution has moved from West to East. India invested heavily in education and that has returned huge dividends to the nation. Now only if we don't become complacent (or too comfortable) and not make right decisions during election, then that's our disservice to the nation. Goras will always be hating on India no matter what. Its a given. Rajiv Malhotra's "Being Different" throws quite some light on how West arrogantly refuses to understand Indian subconsciousness or Dharmic way of life as a universal acceptance, and shoves the Western value-set as universal. This clash will there perpetually forever. Given a chance, goras will ALWAYS screw Bharat over and over again. I think if we reduce traitor quotient, that would be of immense help. Currently India is aflush with Jaichands elites, and always willing to piss on India on foreign forums. I think thats a bigger issue.

No threat to Cong-JD(S) government: Gowda. Sr. Gowdru is confident on the GoKA surviving. Looks like Op.Kamala is not going to be a simple operation. Folks like Jarkhiholis needs to jump ship, only that would be a good indicator. The independent MLAs jumping ships seems to be just testing of waters.

Of course they did. They knew they would get this. Let's not forget that siddaramaiah was CM for 5 years previously. He was notorious for being corrupt, getting nothing done and sleeping in session (locally, he was called niddramaiah).

So we knew exactly what we were voting for, because JDS was never going to get a majority on its own. It was always going to be a INC coalition.

Further, voters all over the state took freebies to vote for them.. so I say they are getting what they deserve. They voted for caste instead of development, serves them right. I hope this govt screws them over even more.

The gora's aim is now to subjugate culturally and convert the country. That way they get back their exploitative markets for both extracting resources as well as pushing their finished goods and this would keep the engines of their economy going profitably while seeking new refuge for their rapidly dying religion.

Unfortunately for them, the previously docile Hindu is slowly awakening and beginning to assert himself wielding an ever increasing economic power and military clout.

The country, despite all the desperate covert and overt efforts of the BIF since independence, has literally and GOK how has somehow clawed its way back to becoming a very significantly dominating global economy. Imagine our situation had we been a completely and thoroughly focussed our economy like some of the asian tigers, say like singapore, for example.

THIS IS WHY PEOPLE LIKE MODI AND RAJIV MALHOTHRA ARE CONSTANTLY DEMONISED, NOT JUST BY THE SOLD OUT NATIONAL PRESS BUT MORE SIGNIFICANTLY, BY THE VERY MOTIVATED INTERNATIONAL PRESS, BY GLOBAL "INTELLECTUALS", "LIBERAL" FOREIGN UNIVERSITIES AS WELL AS GUTTER INSTITUTIONS LIKE SOME WELL KNOWN COMMIE NAXAL INDIAN UNIVERSITIES, AS WELL AS BY THE RABID NGOs. THERE IS ALSO A WIDE SPREAD COVERT COORDINATION IN THESE VICIOUS EFFORTS TO UNDERMINE THE HINDU CIVILIZATION.

The BIF have earlier seen the country as a vast resource base that single handedly funded as well as provided cannon fodder fighting on foreign soil for a large portion of the two great wars and then kept quiet about being diddled out of its money and still continues to do so because of the jaichands embedded in our midst. Their control has given them the ability to influence lives literally from cradle to the grave by controlled educational institutions, media jobs and jobs in "minority" institutions as well as give awards and prizes like the magsaysay, allegedly, the poor man's nobel.

A majority of our home grown and well fed quislings, nurtured by the BIF as well as the commies who have strategically monopolized all public institutions as well as universities thereby restricting the "intellectuals" to an exclusive resource base and grabbing all the media jobs as well as dominating the public discourse while allegedly "sympathizing" with their poor and downtrodden captive vote banks, aided and actively abetted by the "minorities".

shashi tharoor, very egotistically betrayed his own class by raking up the issue of INDIA being rapaciously exploited by the britshits during their brutal colonialization of India and yet the history we were force fed showed them as a gentle power that magnanimously helped India out of the dark ages and into the bright sunshine of the munificence of a majestic democracy. His books have further amplified the theme.

THIS HAS ACTUALLY HELPED OUR CAUSE IMMENSELY

Voters in Karanataka did not vote for BJP govt. Period.They may also not have voted for Cong or JD govt too. so it was a vote by a unsure voter.
BJP is better off letting the KA govt implode by its own fallacies rather than push to foist BSY. A Cong-JDS govt is a constant reminder to the voters what happens when they don't provide clear mandate to one party.
Trying to manufacture mandate is something that is frowned upon by every one these days and such 'cute' ideas can have repercussions across country.

BJP has traditionally won between 100-110 seats in Kar at its best. So this result was on par with a few seats lost here and there. BJP is weak in south Kar. The mandate was in favor of BJP like last time when BSY was CM with help of allies. It is perfectly alright for BJP to try to form govt in Kar being the SLP. However, timing is not right at present. They can also let the govt collapse and go for freh election as they are doing in J&K where govt became untenable.

Being from KA myself, I am tired of ghisa pita leaders like TeddyBearappa. He is tainted with corruption whether he has been sent to jail for that or not. Plus he is 75 and should be retired off. To win KA, BJP would need a leader aged 45-60 with a Hindu mindset and clean. Even then it will take years. These old farts need to be put to pasture.

Exactly. BJP must leave the people of KA alone to enjoy the fruits of their NOTA until GE 2019 is secured. This will increase sympathy towards BJP.

Breaking the government now will dissipate that sympathy and possibly force more voters towards Congis and JD(U).

Agreed, but after may.

We don't want any sympathy for the goons. People, especially farmers need to experience the lack of promised freebies.. I'm happy to see them punished by their stupidity (disclaimer, I'm a kannadiga)

Moreover, Teddi is just as much a crook as everyone else. He needs to be replaced first.

I am all for BJP to topple the current Govt in Ka. Bunch of slackers who are literally running the state into the ground.
the politicos are all busy, filling their coffers and readying their war chests for 2019 as well as post 2019 scenarios.

that is why such a high level of tolerance is being shown.

the sources for filling coffers is limited and so the desperate and panicked politicos are racing to bleed dry such sources.

once these sources are all tapped out, the fall of the govt will be engineered from within.

A bunch of free loaders supporting BJP govt in KA will always demand their share of Biryani. How do you say No to them later on.

The way things are going, it may not happen immediately. Operation Kamala 2.0: 'Missing' MLAs start showing up. It would be better for the BJP leaders to keep their mouth shut, rather than getting one more certificate of failed Op. Kamala. Just show case this as disgruntlement within the JD(S)-Congress combo and give moral support for the dissenters. The way things are going JD(S)-Congress leaders themselves know that things are not going to be easy for them.
