"Geithner seeking stronger economic ties with India; Time looks right for cooperation" by Heather Timmons and Vikas Bajaj, New York Times | April 6, 2010
NEW DELHI — Timothy F. Geithner, the US Treasury secretary, will arrive in New Delhi today for a two-day trip to inaugurate a new economic and financial partnership between two of the world’s largest and oldest democracies.
Yes, everyone knows India is an ally in the upcoming World War and that they are intricately interwoven with western intelligence agencies.
Geithner has his work cut out for him, economists and policy analysts in both India and the United States say. Reaching economic agreements between the two countries has traditionally been an arduous task.
“On principle, they both agree on everything,’’ said Jahangir Aziz, chief India economist at J.P. Morgan in Mumbai. “It always comes down to the nitty-gritty, and that’s where things get stuck. Part of the problem is neither of them wants to give the other side an inch.’’
It took nearly 20 years for the United States to lift a ban on imports of Indian mangoes, for example, and a deal to allow energy-strapped India access to American nuclear technology, agreed to in principal four years ago, still has not cleared all the legal hurdles that would let US companies sign contracts here. (French and Russian companies, by contrast, have signed contracts and are expected to begin work soon.)
Huh.
The USraeli Empire BEATEN to the BUSINESS PUNCH AGAIN, 'eh?
That is why WE ARE GOING DOWN!
Rather than SIGN DEALS and BE FRIENDS with people we INVADE and OCCUPY, thus BANKRUPTING and DESTROYING OURSELVES!
The two countries remain far apart on US farm subsidies and India’s unwillingness to open its markets to foreign farmers, because they both want to protect their agricultural sectors. The countries’ disagreements there helped to scuttle global trade negotiations in 2008.
Indian officials expressed cautious optimism about Geithner’s visit.
“There is good reason to believe that there will be real economic outcomes to match the avowed ambition of such engagement,’’ Rahul Khullar, India’s commerce secretary, wrote in an e-mailed response to questions.
This should, in theory, be a fertile time for India and the United States to forge a new economic relationship. American companies, facing moribund sales at home, continue to flock to India, where the economy is projected to grow 8.5 percent this year.
Taking YOUR JOBS WITH THEM, America!!!!!
But it's a GOOD THING in the Boston Globe bidness press.
Is that why THEIR ECONOMY is ROARING and YOURS is a LIED ABOUT hunk of shit?
US businesses also remain the largest customers for India’s marquee information technology industry. India, for its part, needs billions of dollars in infrastructure and could benefit from US technology.
The ties have grown significantly since India began to open its economy in the early 1990s. Bilateral trade has tripled in the past 10 years, to $37.6 billion. American private investment in India is worth $16.1 billion, about 10 times what it was in the late 1990s.
But India still lags far behind the United States’ most important economic partnerships.--more--"
So did Geit get his deal?
"US, India form economic partnership; Geithner cites opportunities for both nations" by Emily Wax, Washington Post | April 7, 2010
NEW DELHI — India and the United States have launched a new economic partnership that offers “huge opportunities’’ for both countries, US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said yesterday during a two-day visit to India.
The trip is part of the Obama administration’s efforts to strengthen relations with one of the world’s fastest-growing economies.
Although few specifics were disclosed, Indian Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee invited US companies to invest in the fast-developing country’s booming construction industry, which is building airports, railroads, and 4,400 miles of highway a year.
This as YOUR COUNTRY is FALLING APART, America!
You HAVE CLEAN WATER NOW, right, Boston?
The roads around here stink!
All because the MONEY is GOING SOMEWHERE ELSE!!
The last reflects the government’s goal of making freight traffic more efficient while spreading wealth into India’s vast countryside.
Oh, yeah, sure. The caste system no longer exists in India, yeah, right.
PFFFFFTT!!!!!!!!
Looks like the Hindu nationalism that killed Gandhi is a failure -- as we all knew it would be.
The world’s second-most-populous nation, with 1.2 billion people, desperately needs better roads to support its thriving economy, India’s leaders say, especially as it emerges as an economic power on the world stage. Nearly 40 percent of India’s world-class agricultural products, such as mangoes and tomatoes, spoil because there are delays getting them to market, according to Indian economists....
Now, now, now, WAIT a MINUTE!
FOOD is ROTTING as INDIANS are STARVING?
"Hunger is widespread in India. It is said that at least 50 million Indians are on the brink of starvation and over 200 million Indians are underfed"
Oh, AIN'T GLOBALISM and GOVERNMENTS GRAND?
And does my MSM PAPER CARE?
The new partnership could eventually result in other openings, because the United States is eager to gain access to India’s vast markets, especially as it recovers from the worst recession since World War II.
Nope, back to the agenda-pushing shit -- which is what the Indian people are supposed to eat, 'eh?
I think I'll skip my Boston Globe breakfast today; it's raining out here.
“We meet at a time of encouraging prospects for the US and Indian economies, and the beginnings of global economic recovery,’’ Geithner said. “We’re at a time of great optimism in the United States and around the world about the prospects for growth and reform in India....
Great hunger as food rots.
Didn't the French behead a leader over something like that?
India began to open its economy in the early 1990s. As a result, US private investment here is worth $16.1 billion, about 10 times what it was in the late 1990s, according to the Indian government. But the cap on foreign direct investment continues to frustrate outside investors.
Have you NOTICED that in the agenda-pushing Amerikan newspaper it is ALWAYS about the "investors" or "markets?"
That is CODE for BANKS and WALL STREET, readers!
For example, Wal-Mart had to team up with an Indian retail outlet before being allowed to open here, and sales are restricted to wholesalers.
Like I CARE about EVERYTHING MADE in CHINA, BILLIONS in PROFITS Wal-Mart's woes in India!!!
PFFFT!

Don't pinch them, please. Let them enjoy it for a while.
Tensions also persist between India and the United States over American farm subsidies and India’s refusal to open its markets to foreign farmers. Those disagreements are blamed for scuttling global trade negotiations in 2008. But economists here say that Geithner was careful not to lecture India about specific reforms, especially in view of the US credit collapse.
Yeah, we can't say nothing to nobody about anything anymore.
We's torture, too!!!!
Of course, SOME COUNTRIES get BIG TIME LECTURES like PAKISTAN, IRAN, etc, etc, etc.
Depends on WHAT SIDE of the FUTURE DIVIDE you are to be placed.
“The fulcrum of economic power in the world is shifting eastward,’’ said Paranjoy Guha Thakurta, a New Delhi economist who is writing a book on how India’s economy survived the economic meltdown.
Yeah, to CHINA and RUSSIA after the USraeli Empire is defeated in war.
Not even the nuke bombs are going to save you, stupid fools.
Should have cut economic deals and been friends to people like them instead of following your Zionist master's commands for so long, AmeriKa.
It's over.
Then, after three weeks of nothing at all:
"Death heightens fears about waste in India" by Associated Press | April 30, 2010
NEW DELHI — A scrap dealer who dismantled a machine once used by the chemistry class of a major Indian university died of radioactive poisoning, police said yesterday, raising concerns about the country’s ability to safely dispose of hazardous waste.
And WE WANT to help them BUILD NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS?
What is WRONG with this picture?
The dealer died Monday in New Delhi after being among workers who sawed open a gamma cell that Delhi University had auctioned off in February, a police statement said. Seven other workers are being treated for radiation exposure.
Keep your card down.
Police traced the cell to the school’s chemistry laboratory, where it had been lying around unused for more than 25 years. Students had used it in the 1970s to study the radiation effects of various chemicals, said Police Officer Sharad Aggarwal....
(Blog editor turns palms towards ceiling)
The case has raised fears about the unregulated disposal of hazardous material in India, where dangerous chemicals and even radioactive waste are often sold to scrap dealers.
But Iran is the threat for building a power plant, pfft!

Oh, and MEET the REAL INSURGENCY in INDIA!
Not Muslim patsies and Indian double agents run by intelligence agencies, but MAOIST COMMUNISTS(?)!!!

"Insurgents in India kill 75 police officers; Maoist rebels ambush force returning home" by Bibhudatta Pradhan, Bloomberg News | April 7, 2010
NEW DELHI — Maoist rebels killed at least 75 police officers yesterday in a central Indian jungle ambush, their biggest strike against security forces in a decades-long conflict....
The attacks are a setback to Home Minister Palaniappan Chidambaram’s efforts to rid India’s eastern states of left-wing guerillas and open up regions rich in iron ore, coal, bauxite, and manganese to investment.
Isn't it AMAZING how "INSURGENTS" ALWAYS SHOW up where there are VAST RESOURCES, huh?
“Unless you improve force capability and force capacities, these incidents will keep on occurring again and again,’’ said Ajai Sahni, executive director of the New Delhi-based Institute for Conflict Management....
Chhattisgarh is at the center of the country’s fight with the insurgents, who say they are fighting for the rights of millions of impoverished villagers. Chidambaram, 64, last year started a nationwide hunt for the rebels in their strongholds, an offensive referred to as Operation Green Hunt.
The guerrillas operate in at least 11 of 28 states. The left-wing movement takes its name from a radical 1967 peasant uprising in a village called Naxalbari in the eastern state of West Bengal, and was greeted as “a peal of spring thunder’’ by China’s People Daily at its birth.
Initially inspired by Maoist ideology, it has pressed a campaign of violence against the government, police, and landowners in a class war that seeks to install communist rule.
It is at this point I begin to laugh.
That is not to downplay the violence these groups cause; however, I AM WONDERING WHO actually is a COMMUNIST or NAZI these days?
WHO LINES UP with LOSERS from DECADES AGO?
I mean, EVEN the CHINESE GOVERNMENT PRETENDS it is Communism and not Authoritarianism.
That gives you a CLUE as to WHO IS BEHIND THESE GROUPS and WHY THEY NEVER GO AWAY (like "Al-CIA-Duh" and FARC, to name two others)!!!!
Civilians are caught in the crossfire.
AS ALWAYS when the POWER BROKERS play their "Great Games."
“Government and Maoist claims to be acting on behalf of India’s poorest people can be undermined by the atrocities by both sides against these very same people,’’ Meenakshi Ganguly, senior South Asia researcher at Human Rights Watch, said in a November statement.
Another CLUE!
"Now stop and think here for a moment. All revolutions depend on public support. Revolutionaries try to first win the people before they take on the government. So, no revolutionary goes out and murders civilians in cold blood. Did Washington and his men just mow down a marketplace of their fellow colonials for the heck of it? No, they did not. Washington and the Founding Fathers knew that their revolution to build a new country needed the support of those who would live in that country. This is true for every revolution in history. Therefore, these acts of terror being blamed on the insurgency must all be fakes, committed by intelligence agencies working for the governments to be blamed on the insurgents in order to destroy public support for the revolution." -- Wake the Flock Up
Or else they are 'TOO-PID COMMUNISTS!!!!
So they have BEEN INFILTRATED by INTELLIGENCE SERVICES that then carry out false flag attacks on civilians.
That's also the same; only the names change.
“Local people are at risk of being caught in the middle of the fighting — killed, wounded, abducted, forced to take sides, and then risk retribution.’’
Chidambaram has said he is willing to talk to the guerrillas if they stop the violence.
Ever notice that "insurgents" NEVER DO?
The rebels have killed more than 7,500 people since 1998, according to government figures.
Yeah, WINNING OVER the PEOPLE!
More like KEEPING CHAOS in the region so RESOURCES can be EXPLOITED and STOLEN!
In a series of recent raids, the group’s fighters killed at least 10 police officers in Orissa on April 4, and 28 people in West Bengal in February.
The officers who died yesterday were returning from a four-day operation against the insurgents when they were targeted. The rebels set off a landmine and opened fire from surrounding hills.
“Something has gone very wrong. They seem to have walked into a trap set by the Naxalites,’’ Chidambaram said, speaking the name used in India for the guerrillas.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh aims to boost growth to 10 percent, a pace needed to pull 828 million people living on less than $2 a day out of poverty.
With FOOD ROTTING in WAREHOUSES!!!!!!
The tactics adopted by the rebels will hamper industrial growth, the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry said in a November report.
“Just when India needs to ramp up its industrial machine to lock in growth and when foreign companies are joining the party, Naxalites are clashing with mining and steel companies essential to India’s long-term success,’’ the report said.Then it TRULY IS a REAL PEOPLE'S MOVEMENT and a REAL REVOLUTION, 'eh?
--more--"
That explains the MINIMAL and CONFUSING COVERAGE I receive in my newspaper!
"Maoists rally, announce strike
KATMANDU — Tens of thousands of former communist rebels and their supporters rallied yesterday, demanding Nepal’s coalition government be disbanded and replaced by a Maoist-led government. Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal refused to resign and called on the Maoists to resolve the crisis through dialogue. In response, Maoist leader Pushpa Kamal Dahal announced to cheering supporters they would launch a general strike today (AP)."
Wait, that is not India.
