@seek10, I think not so much a conspiracy but the PTB are in search for compliant "useful" and "useless" idiots.
Well, these are the "conspiracy" doubts that I got after reading the book
Vril, the Power of the coming Race and historical tragic drama ended with Hitler's deeds that started with Western historian obsession with "Aryan" origins in the 19th century. If C's hadn't said about underground underground Aryan race presented as Martian in , I wouldn't have given any weight to that speculation.
At this point, it is only speculation. True, Psychological effects of Cast system that lasted for 3000 years, made them compliant, but the 800 years foreign (Muslim and Christian) rule didn't wipe out the Caste system ( as they usually do in other places), instead it became unifying and secular point against British Rule. But that is for different thread and it is a nuanced subject.
Indians can speak english well and are career-driven therefore quite the useful idiots.
True, that can be said of n number of diaspora people too.
That also fits nicely into the Woke agenda being that they are of brown colour and infected with liberal pro-feminine thinking. As comedian Russell Peters once said in the context of heightened tension in the 2000's whereby lots of Indians were being held up at the airports as terrorism suspects, "Indians don't like to blow up airports, they work at them". That pretty much sums up the entire Indian nation.
For the context, that is funny and even true. It goes back to mosaic nature of Indian history not in the format Western historians like to simplify.
They are not about taking sides but rather cowardly go with whoever is holding the flag, recent Modi's stance on Ukraine war being case in point.
Indian mentality is "Self Reliance" since Independence days and that is the direction they worked but at a very slow pace. It is these high skilled trained engineers West tapped into in 90's when they needed. In this Industrial world, one can't live without technological know how and technology can't come with out capitalism and competition( Indian or foreign - often takes greedy format). Until 1990's India went with Soviet style Socialist plans that only created License Raj and created a recent Sri Lankan style meltdown in early 1990's ( like wise soviet union collapsed at that time) that forced them to open for Western capitalism. At the end of the day, every body strives to live, though none of us ever imagined what we see in west now a days - shooting in the foot.
I think looking at Indian foreign policy through the Western "For or against" lenses will only create more division of the nation than solving it. Particularly on Ukraine issue. India did same( at local level to create Bangladesh) as Russia is doing now at a global level (probably higher levels). It is surely like walking on egg shells, but What Modi could able to achieve what he did ( avoid chaos and GDP in the covid world) without taking sides. Fleeting Public sentiments, public stance, political compulsions, discernment for long term aims are different components of politics of these days. And, they can't take sides any way with Kashmir issue at hand( Putin's stick if it becomes necessary) and China and Pakistan at other end.
After reading how strategies are made at higher densities before coming to lower levels in '
The life beyond the veil', I was not surprised . I find C's comment on BRICS intentions appropriate.
The current crop of politicians born to Indian parents are not much different 'cause such programming is tribal and runs in the genes. It cannot be undone by western upbringing. Its what years and years of droughts/famine interspersed with centuries of religious programming, followed by slavery under western imperial boots can to do to a nation such as India.
I think it is little more complicated than that. But, that is for a different thread.
Expecting to see more and more of this happening elsewhere now. Canada could be next if Trudeau falls out of favour with the establishment.
We don't know how it will play out during these days. It may be simple "Karma is a Bitch" thing and we don't know.
I am sorry for the long post.
