I write this as the UN is voting on the matter of establishing the no-fly zone over parts of Libya where the crazy leader Gadhafi (Gadha in Hindi means ass) is bombing his own citizens
India is "Abstaining" from voting on this resolution. The reason is obvious for those familiar with the matter -- that India follows the rule of "Pancha sheel" ordained by Gandhi (correction welcome), which has five clauses one of them being non-interference.
Now, how is that helping us really? It is in India's interest if democracy blooms in this world. And also, what about the principle of "non-violence"? Not acting when defenseless people are being slaughtered means supporting violence
It's really time we got got out of Nehru and Gandhi era. And anyway, we have already done so in the corruption front. So why not in a better sense? And while we are at it let us give up the fancy dress competitions in parliament and attend sessions like normal people. Because shirts and pants are now manufactured ingeniously enough (at least as relevant to our age)
Sigh, when will India wake up?
