Strategic Partnerships: The Indian Case

Nirupama Subramanian, The Hindu | January 17, 2012

A New Delhi based think tank has studied the term "strategic partnership" through India's agreements. ++ India has signed over a dozen partnership agreements in the last decade ++ The Russia-India partnership was rated the most valuable overall; trade relations with the US hold the most potential. ++ The benefits are threefold: political-diplomatic ties, defense ties, and economic relations. ++ The study however ignores the complexity of global strategic partnerships such as the impact of the US-Pakistan relationship on India.

Your cataloging of coprurt practices in India in education, medicine, media and elsewhere is excellent.But the cause of this woeful state of affairs is mis-diagonized Utilitarianism. Utilitarianism is the reigning tenet not only in India but also in the US, Britain and many other countries. But nowhere are things as dismal as in India, according to your own account.The pursuit of mammon among Hindus is a disease of long term standing, preceding the British.Hindu bhaktas of the middle ages Kabir, Nanak, Chaitanya all sang criticising the love of mammon among the common folks. Kabir: Man lago yaar fakiri men. Jo kucch payo Ram bhajan men, woh sukh nahin amiri men.They sang these songs because they saw the character of the Indian populace addicted to materialism.The Western problem in contrast is pervasiveness of violence in their culture. Many church sermons in the US are on the topic of peace. Jesus is adulated as The Prince of Peace. In India Gandhi was adulated because he abrogated material consumption and took a vow of poverty. So few Indians can forsake materialism.
