Unwilling contestant

The AICC General Secretary tours the country to enlarge his constituency

For four years Rahul Gandhi did what he felt was right.Rahul Gandhi He seemed oblivious to advice from partymen. He concentrated on Amethi and his mother’s constituency, Rae Bareli and refused to look beyond these two constituencies. He delivered simple speeches. Unlike other politicians, he has refused to make empty promises in his speeches. And in an effort to take the higher ground, he has refused to play politics with the dead body of a farmer.

It is only after four years that an extremely adamant Rahul Gandhi has come out of his constituency to ‘Discover India’. This is again purely his decision. According to Congress sources, it is Rahul who has now realized that in politics one can not survive without playing mind games and do it all over the country.

Politicking may not be his cup of tea, but now it appears, Rahul is learning. From a man who believed in being a silent worker, the Gandhi scion is turning another leaf. Seeking to expand the Gandhi Nehru magic, he now spends nights with Dalit families, plays around with their children and enjoys photo-ops with Dalit children on his shoulders.....Continue

India needs skilled trade negotiators who talk less.

The latest failure has sparked-off more debate on how countries like India should behave and act during trade negotiations. Those who still feel nostalgic about the Nehruvian era (when non-alignment was a gleam in the eyes), insist that India and other countries should band together in groupings like G-20 and present a united front to the First World. There is this naïve belief that a strong brotherhood of Third World nations can compel the developed nations to see reason and accept a more equitable trade regime for the world. Unfortunately, geopolitical and strategic realities work against such an Utopian solution. In the real world, nation states pursue their own strategic interests and don’t care much for blocs and groups, if they can get their way through other means.

The best example is China. Until recently, it was not even a member of the WTO. Yet, when it comes to trade, it has been rapidly emerging as a 800 pound gorilla that simply cannot be ignored. Clever negotiations and a mix of carrot and stick, coupled with favourable policies, have ensured that China runs a trade surplus of close to $200 billion with the United States. China didn’t achieve this success by screaming hoarse about Third World solidarity at every available public forum. Chinese policy makers negotiated quietly from behind the scenes and achieved the best possible results.

Commerce Minister Kamal Nath could do well to absorb a few lessons from his Chinese counterparts. India will be better off if he talks less about Third World solidarity and negotiates hard.
