Capitulation - a tiny bit at a time

The Indian media's obsession with any references to India in American media or government is morbid, but one does not expect the same from senior Indian statesmen.

After a US congressional study was reported to have praised Narendra Modi's governance and predicted a future national leadership role for him, LK Advani picked up the story and posted it on his blog, as if the report was vindictive.

This is sovereignty turned on its head. Next, perhaps Mr. Advani will suggest that elections are unnecessary in India. Why bother when the US Congress does the job of picking leaders for you?
