I need to retract my earlier statement, turns out the moron sen never won a Nobel in reality, economics doesn't have a nobel, he won:
The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->The second important historical shift is that India established full diplomatic relations with Israel in 1992. The Bharatiya Janata Party government deepened the military and intelligence cooperation between the two countries that had already been in place, but covertly, since the 1950s. By 2004, Israel had become Indiaâs largest arms supplier, and India emerged as Israelâs biggest arms market.
Underlying this new alliance is a deeper issue of ideology and political orientation in the current moment. India and Israel have begun to emphasize a common enemy in their respective âanti-terrorismâ operations which were framed by both nations as a battle against âIslamic militants,â a framework that gained global currency with Bushâs launching of the War on Terrorism. India and Israelâs new honeymoon reversed Indiaâs historical stand of support for the Palestinians who were still living under occupation and apartheid and ignored Indiaâs own experience with colonization. Despite some criticism of this new India-Israel axis and symbolic gestures toward the Palestinian Authority, the United Progressive Alliance government has continued the policy of strengthening ties with Israel. This is despite the fact that Israel continues to maintain its military, political, and economic stranglehold on Palestinians who still do not live in a fully sovereign state in the West Bank and Gaza, or in a truly democratic nation in Israel.
At the same time as the alliance between India-U.S.-Israel formed a new political triangle, a parallel development has occurred in the U.S. Hindu right-wing groups, such as the Indian American Political Action Committee and the Hindu American Foundation, linked to the Vishwa Hindu Parishad America and overseas branches of the RSS, have forged alliances with powerful pro-Israel lobby groups such as the American Israel Political Action Committee and the American Jewish Committee. Hindutva groups are meeting Zionist organizations to learn about strategies to advance religious nationalist agendas and suppress any criticism of their political movements. These U.S.-based groups have helped strengthen India-Israel ties and propagate the notion that Hindu and Jewish Americans are victims of a common enemy defined as âIslamic terrorism,â for example, through organizations such as Democracies against Terror which is an alliance of Zionist and Hindutva activists based in Fremont, Calif.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
