Dear Mr. Gangal, I don't know why you had to send this kind of biased article which is US-centric and accuses everyone else of non-cooperation. India's opposition for the Doha Round was not due to Congress Party's parochial agenda, but due to the HUGE subsidies enjoyed by US farmers for decades. If US wishes to have a free access to sell harmful stuff like coca-cola to millions of Indians, there must be a level field for Indian farmers to sell their goods to Americans. Cotton growers in Burkina Faso produce a far higher grade long-fibre cotton and yet marketing their produce is fraught with all sorts of problems.
If you want to send this stuff through "Granthali Wachak Chalwal", please stop immediately. Pl send something worthwhile. Coining terms is a classic trick adopted by American speakers and writers just to increase saleability and gain popularity. It has no intrinsic value for a reader like me.
Thanks for voicing your concern and we appreciate your strong views ont he subject.
"Worth Reading" are "Views" and we dont necessarily subscribe to the views and David Brook is a well-known and respected (where u may ask?) columnist!!
Interestingly in TOI Mon.04.Aug Narendar Pani makes an argument probably counter to your views "Playing to the Gallery" is copy/pasted below.
The article you sent is horrible, and smacks of US propaganda machine.
Such articles never talk about the real stakes, like it was control over Iraq oil. US would like to believe that it can impose its design on the world and actually wants a unipolar world with all the power of US troops backing its business interests in the global arena.
Do people get fooled by such articles? Do world citizens see their destinies linked up with US history? Don't we understand the truth of WTO talks?
Dear Mr Gangal, instead of publishing some trash like this, which naturally comes from some interested groups in America, I suggest that you read the book "WRITERS PEOPLE" By VS Naipaul. We, as Indians, must react on this book. He has ridiculed Mahatma Gandhi and Sant Vinobaji Bhave. I can understand ridicule of thoughts, then we can fight. This idiot ( I am forced to call this Nobel laureate like this) ridicules attire of Gandhiji (calling it "diaper") and food habits (Dahi & Bhakari) of Vinobaji (calls Vinobaji foolish) This is absolutely uncivilised and terrorism by Nobel laureate. Please read the book. Correct me if I am wrong and take up the cause. ( I am a very old member of GVC, hence the request...)
It is always nice to get this information as after retirement I am cut off from the academics.Although I must say that Mumbai acads were not as lively as the JNU lots but there were few and especially outside the uni. That is one reason Why I got attached to Granthali and remain so. Keep doing this good job and thanks for that.
WHY SPOTLIGHTon CHINA ? WHAT WERE THE METHODS USED by EMPIRE BUILDERS SO FAR : Right from Ramayan , Mahabharat , Egypt - etc . till TODAY LOOK to THE WORLD HISTORY: Slavery in ROMAN EMPIRE; Slavery in EUROPE ; Slavery in BUILDING up AMERICA - USA; Slavery in BUILDING UP the BRITISH EMPIRE; Slavery - Comminism - in U.S.S.R. Communism is THE FIRST STEP towards CAPITALISM !! Where were the HUMAN RIGHTS then ? WHY CRY NOW !! CHINA is NO EXCEPTION !!
