An Indian sentiment on Obama - US lacunae ?
OutlookIndia says "Obama has said with his characteristic bluntness that 'India has taken us to the cleaners'."
Or in more detail: "What may be good news for America and most of the world is bad news for India. For if the Indo-US nuclear treaty was dying before, it is well and truly dead now. Obama has said with his characteristic bluntness that 'India has taken us to the cleaners'. As a result, even if the Manmohan Singh government musters the resolve to sign the safeguards agreement with the IAEA now, it is a safe bet that in the few months of the Bush administration that remain, no state department official will stick his or her neck out to push for a special meeting of the Nuclear Suppliers Group, much less exert American influence to make it lift the embargo on the supply of sensitive technology to India."
Maybe the US can say - although I certainly don't hold that precise view 'Tata has taken us to the cleaners' 'Ambani has taken us to the cleaners' 'Lakshmi Mittal has taken us to the cleaners'. Or better ''George Bush has taken us to the cleaners'
IMO: I do not see it as reasonable to say 'India and those whom it would wish to represent, and do represent them as often as can happen, obviously more often than they do in the USA, whose current President is due for impeachment, has taken us to the cleaners'. Most Indians are poor battlers, striving to make a living, democratic, honest people. Any one who can say without many very deep reservations 'India has taken us to the cleaners' is missing too many facts to be taken seriously, or we are left with serious lacunae, worse than those lacunae (often not his own fault) which led to problems for the apparently honest sincere Jimmy Carter. India is too major to sweep under anybody's carpet. US can't even handle little Iraq.
