India And The World

[Hauma Hamiddha]

I believe that the UN is an useless organization meant for people with idealistic inclinations. That is one reason why Nehru gravitated towards the UN. The UN is used by the big boys, like Uncle Sam and the Moscow Bear to achieve their aims. For the once mighty nations like India, Germany and Japan, which were castrated to different degrees, and are still bound due to a variety of reasons to the victors, the UNSC seat might offer an artificial sense of satisfaction. It reminds me of the past days when a seat in a particular college mattered only for prestige and not the teaching. The realist big boys really do not care much for UN and Sammy uncle has shown with his actions in Iraq that the UN is superfluous. Instead of wasting effort on the UN we need to build our muscle seriously forming what ever stop gap alliances it takes and dumping relationships that are not fruitful. I doubt the Kangress netajis are up to anything like that.
