Dragon's sermon on Quad

Global Times says,"India seems to have deviated from its traditional non-alignment policy. During Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s second term, India’s economy is not doing well, and its domestic contradictions have seen a rising trend. As its border disputes with China have not been settled, anti-China voices in India still remain a force. The Modi administration intends to divert attention from its domestic contradictions by underlining China’s threat.

"Against this backdrop, India ............ (is)  likely to collaborate with the US under the Quad framework."

(  Yuan Zheng, Deputy Director and senior fellow of the Institute of American Studies, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences)

No, Global Times, you got it all wrong. India has not deviated from its traditional non-alignment foreign policy. PLA's Himalayan folly forced India to relook at and reassess  her friends and foes. More than any other country India would resist idea of  Asian NATO. Remember it was China who aligned with the United States during liberation war of Bangladesh and worked closely with the US after Pokhran nuclear tests in 1998 to contain India.

As far as domestic contradictions are concerned they are assets not liabilities. Lord Shiva's clan teaches  India how to manage contradictions, every member of Shiva's clan has a vehicle inimical to fellow creature -bull,lion, serpent, rat and peacock etc. Prey and predator live in perfect harmony. Understand?

More over, India is a functioning anarchy with out any unitary center, so in any upheaval, the structure never collapses. Amidst million mutinies India would soon regain her  status of  worlds fastest growing economy.

(FYI, Indians have one thousand  synonyms for Dragon, One is Anant, the divine serpent. And one of the names of Lord Vishnu is Anantshayanam- ( God who sleeps on Anant using it as bed)
