OBAMAZATION-YES WE CAN

OBAMAZATION CONTINUES....YES WE CAN

Barack Obama

"In the years ahead, I look forward to a reformed United Nations Security Council that includes India as a permanent member"

Obama said in a speech to India's parliament on his first official visit to the world's largest democracy.

Yes we can was the mantra for Indians when US president Barack Obama surpised everyone by backing India for permanent seat for United Nation Security Council.Its a long way to go for india despite the support shown by US.Bar of hope has raised though India has to face resistance from several blocs of the world.China wont come openly to restrict this step but may instigate other countries to vote against India.

I think the long awaited demand has been heard by US but I am not sure India's credibility on wider spectrum.And that has become the concern for other nation to protest against her.She is an important player in maintaining the world order but India has been viewed as a feeble player in international issues.For example India should actively involve herself in pressurizing the Democracy in Myanmar and this issue was taken out of box by Obama himself when he was addressing in Parliament.

Though he got round of applause from all the corners but there wont be any re organization in United nation seats for another 8 to 10 years.Obama when got elected said change can happen in year 2008.Now he is in India and showed us the path that yes this is possible.YES WE CAN get seat at United nation security council but the journey will be long and full of hurdles.

Obama addressing in Parliament

If we get the permanent seat at United Nation India could control several issues such as of Pakistan Relations and Srilanka issues,which according to me has failed through bilateral ties.After US support to India it will be really interesting to see the relation between Pakistan and China;how they will surface further.The biggest advantage india shoul take now is to expand its naval power.Some kind of strategic circles has to be made in Indian ocean rim where China is making its presence felt through Gwadar in Pakistan and Hambantota in srilanka.


India should show interest in African nations also.For African nation India can develop its ties more in the field of medicines ,Trade including continuing diamond trade.India has to send strong signals to the world by participating in most of the global issues.The Afghanistan relation with India is a positive sign of Asian development.India has invested tremendous 1.3 billion dollars in Afghanistan.India need to focus on other countries as well such as with mercosur countries.India also have to adhere to her standing on climate change.Apart from that Space Programmes and education should be enhanced.These step definitely will make her credibility more concrete than before.

 India has only one weapon now to grip its position and that is the weapon is of economy.
Even though Obama has urged India to expand its market and open it for US,India I believe should to do the same with rest of the nation especially with European Nations .Nobody has seen India as a super power but one thing is for sure Economy is the only medium which has made India's voice more powerful.Obama has given another option for India to spread her wings and bring change in the economy.Even during Doha agreement the economy was the platter and I think time has come to bring Doha agreement to effect which will be enforced only through careful reformation. Its the fortunate country which have not been affected by recession it has huge domestic market and america and other countries are eying on it for their survival.India has to bring reforms in its economic policies and if things work out the country will garner support from every side.Obama has open two boxes.One the economic expansion  where he says it is win win situation for both countries and another UN seat backing which Indians have been dreaming for a long time.

Truly Obamazation gripped whole India and the world.
