Nicaraguan Govt. was a leftist Govt. (pro - the godless Soviets) and that was opposed by the Contras (fighting the Govt. in Nicaragua). Contras, who could not get the aid directly from the U.S. due to some earlier controversies, still managed to receive financial support from the U.S., indirectly though, through the Iran-arms deal, in spite of the fact that there was a U.S. embargo on arms sale etc. to the Islamic Iran due to the American hostages situation in Iran. This made the arms from the U.S. going to Iran via Israel and the profits from the arms sale going to Contras fighting against the leftist Govt. in Nicaragua. In other words, the religion still got preference (i.e. the religious Iranian Govt. getting the arms indirectly from the U.S.) over the godless people (the Nicaraguan pro-Soviet leftist Govt. was opposed by the U.S. and that Govt's enemy Contras even getting the financial aid from U.S. through Iran arms deal).

? Going by expert comments, Hindu democracy vs godless Chinese people theory might have a better traction than Hindu & Christian democracies brotherhood which goes against the very belief of our NRI & MAHA patriots.

My what a stretch you have there, Comrade!

You redefine the whole concept of a segue.

Overall, do you see much of a difference between the UPA’s foreign policy vision vis-a-vis the U.S. and that of the Modi-led BJP government?

All in all, the Obama visit has proved that the BJP government led by Modi is more pro-American than its predecessor. In the process, it will give further concessions to the U.S. in economic and trade relations. The danger is that the Modi government will dilute India’s patent regime. Already, a working group has been set up under American pressure on intellectual property rights. American corporates and MNCs [multinational corporations] are going to get special treatment in taxes and transfer pricing issues. Already, the Modi government has passed an ordinance for FDI [foreign direct investment] in insurance to signal more opportunities for U.S. business in India. Many of the proposed agreements are meant to promote American business interests. The $4-billion loan pledge by President Obama is for buying American products. Instead of “make in India”, the Modi government is promoting “made in U.S.” Under Modi, we can expect to have a subordinate relationship with America.
