In Burma, we see the same pattern of subterfuge as was seen in Vietnam (backed by the Catholic Kennedy and the Vatican), Nepal, Sri Lanka.....
Even Laura Bush was trotted out a few weeks back to make a statement on Burma and democracy. Same set of clowns brought "democracy and Freedom" to the "Iraqi People".

"I am sorry Vrndavan. This is no saffron revolution. Christian missionaries are just waiting on the wings for Myanmar to open and you will find full scale evangelisation and de-saffronisation. It is just a repeat of the nauseating cycle we have witnessed millenia after millenia, country after country. Of course it will all take time. But the missionaries are well funded and very committed to sit it out even for 100 years (say as in Kerala or the north East) till they wrest control."</i>
Reports regarding China and India's battle over mineral, gas and oil rights in Burma added another dimension to the crisis. Perhaps it is more than a coincidence that just as Indian Oil concerns make major headway in Burma, the situation begins to change so dramatically. Regarding Oil, It is interesting to note that as Mexico's President Calderon was in India negotiating oil rights, an unknown shadowy group began attacking Mexican Oil installations. So there are definite struggles going on in regards to India's energy concerns.
However, in regards to Burma the direct involvement of the Christian Solidarity organization and of British Members of Parliament rises some serious concerns. Their combined public and published statements are blatantly hostile towards India. This points towards a power play targeted against India's economic agenda and overall strategic security.
Below is a quote from John Bercow, a Member of the British Parliament published in The Independent, entitled:
<i>This vile regime in Burma has to be confronted</i>
This quote may indeed signify the involvement of aggressive Christian groups in the region, <i>"I returned last week from a visit to the India-Burma border, with the human rights charity Christian Solidarity Worldwide..."</i>
<i>
At long last Burma, one of the world's most under-reported human rights tragedies, dominates our media â and has begun to claim the attention of our politicians. I returned last week from a visit to the India-Burma border, with the human rights charity Christian Solidarity Worldwide and my Parliamentary colleague Caroline Cox (Baroness Caroline Cox is a British MP and CEO of HART).....India has until now pursued a policy that is both immoral and irresponsible. Refusing to criticise the regime, India has instead provided arms and military training. How can that be, in the nation of Gandhi and Nehru?</i>
A headline appeared in the Indian press entitled:<i> British MP condemns India's ties with Myanmar. </i> It is also quite revealing. India is slammed for providing anti-insurgency training to Burma and India's economic investments are highlighted as a form of Human rights violations.
<i>"In particular, India should re-examine its conscience and stop providing arms and military training to the regime. India should also reconsider its economic investments in Burma, until a meaningful transition to democracy is underway," she added.</i>
Baroness Cox was part of the delegation from Britain-based rights groups Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW) and Humanitarian Aid Relief Trust (HART) that visited India from Sep 14 to 21.<i>"The provision of arms and military training (by India) to a brutal and illegal regime which will undoubtedly use those arms to crush its own people is immoral and unwise," Benedict Rogers, advocacy officer for South Asia at CSW, told IANS.</i>
So while China and America have obvious roles in the scenario the direct involvement of British political leaders and Christian Human Rights groups is beyond doubt.
A comment posted by one Vivek found on Bharat-Rakshak states:
<i>"India is the real target in Unkil's Burma takeover. If Unkil gets its proxy govt. in Burma through "democracy," hordes of missionaries and CIA-types will descend on Burmese side of NE border and establish proper training camps for Naga and Tripura terrorists. Then you can say bye-bye to NE. Unkil's dream of a Christian country in South Asia will come true." </i>
Perhaps this vision is not so far from the truth.
As in the case of Burma/Myanmar's current crisis, the media has a large part to play. This same medium can be developed towards an authentic awakening around the world. One can only hope that the authentic "Saffron Revolution" representing the upliftment of Dharma and Vedic ideals will soon sweep not only India but the entire globe.
