All the Nehru's horses

In my carefree days when my primary task in life was to read all the jokes (without discriminating about quality) on Internet, one particularly good one was about corporate fascination with buzz words without regards to reality and following a path of action just for sake of pretending again unmindful of the consequences.

The continuing NAM fascination of Indian leadership is one such examples of Indian politics being more comic and farcical than Internet jokes.

The main objection is not whether America will be angry, but that there is no relevance of NAM (if ever was) for India either as an ideological platform (non alignment in a unipolar world, why just not rename NAM as "rag tag of stuck in the time wrap third world politicians, out of work progressives and uncouth megalomaniac dictators opposed to American hegemony" ) or for purpose of striking strategic alliances for political or other purposes.

But horse is being flogged and the fact that it is dead is a trivial matter, to be ignored for sake of outdated fantasies rarefied ideals of our deluded righteous leaders.

Meanwhile the India which aspires to be taken seriously as an emerging superpower is attending unhinged show (spewing bile at Israel for aggression, defending Iran, Chavez, Castro etc etc.)
