FUTURE WITH INDIA AND CHINA

Future of this millennium is on the hands of China and India. The peaceful coexistence of both countries will decide the future course of history. The economic cooperation between India and china increasing day by day. Indian prime minister hoping that through economic cooperation both can solve the bilateral issues. The world slowly accepting the emergence of India. Thanks to the economic meltdown which undermine the American economic supremacy. Because amidst the worst economic problem ever seen in history, Indian economy escapes without major causality. China and Latin American countries were also not affected by economic problem.

Last few weeks Indian media is filled with the news about the Chinese incursions across Indian boarder and the offensive statement from China about Manmohun's visit to Arunachal pradesh. Various analytical reports about the future of Sino Indian relations were published. Indian think tanks were sat on two sides of table and arguments were raised for and against. China is fearing India's growing relationship with USA. They are not like the economic growth of India because India is the only prospective rival.

The world is curiously watching the relationship between them. It was reflected in ASEAN summit held at Thailand.

WANTED: AN OPPOSITION

India desperately needs a pan Indian opposition in politics. Election results from the three States,Maharashtra, Haryana, and Arunachalpradesh, shows the need for it again. BJP, main opposition party in Loksabha, loosing its credibility gradually but degradation process occurring very fast. Left parties in India have no capability to take the role of opposition. We don't underestimate their efforts to become an useful opposition in the country. But they are lacking pan Indian support in the form of electoral victory. They can but they lack something to attract people under their roof.
If we analyze the issues ranging from Free Trade Agreement with ASEAN countries to the last election in the three states, no oppositional voice heard anywhere. In the case of FTA with ASEAN left parties raised voice,it created some impact among farmers in South India and fishermen. But minor different opinions from inside the left group creates doubts about their stands.
The BJP is still ailing from last two loksabha election. The leadership crisis in BJP is perishing their chances to become effective opposition. They are fighting themselves in national level and in state level.
The lack of countrywide opposition will help congress to go with their own policies. Ultimately It will be a setback for Indian democracy.
