News reports say that a Chinese frigate confronted INS Airavat in international waters as it left the territorial limits of Vietnam after a friendly visit but our government denies that the incident ever took place. Villainous Chinese are constructing a dam on the Brahmaputra in Tibet which will cut off water for the entire north east but officials say it does not matter. Pakistan forces killed one Indian army officer by firing across the Line Of Control to cover the infiltration by terrorists trained in Pakistan but we will go on " bended knees " to talk to them. Sri Lankan navy routinely kills Indian fishermen in international waters but we keep on investigating. There are many articles criticising Indian foreign policy. Analysts complain that while countries like China and the US have think tanks advising on long term policy we are perpetually unprepared because our foreign policy is " reactive " rather than " proactive ". Perhaps they are being harsh. The fearsome T Rex died out as did the sabre toothed tiger but the ostrich is doing very well due to its unique survival technique. When threatened the ostrich buries its head in sand and stands still. Predators, confronted with this headless phenomenon, retreat hastily. May be our headless government will confuse the hell out of our enemies who will not know where to attack. The Indian Air Force has lost 46 fighter aircraft in 7 years, 26 of them since 2008. HT, August 25. The accidents are being " thoroughly investigated ". Perhaps all this is extremely clever strategy to confuse our enemies. Why attack when we are destroying our own air force? Just proves our fellows are definitely not " anpadh " or " ganwaar ".
