I highly doubt all these gimmicks of holding the ambassadors will play well in the international community, as per treaties the world over, I don't think ambassadors cannot be detained or imprisoned ! They shouldn't have let those two guys back in the first place .... will they let out Indian prisoners for voting on election day ? why the special treatment for these guys then ?

Italian city wants to adopt kids orphaned by marines

Rome: The mayor of Taranto, home of one of the marines at the centre of a row with India over the killing of two fishermen, has invited their orphaned children to study in the port town.

 

"Our whole city is ready to welcome the unfortunate children of the fishermen to study here," Taranto mayor Ippazio Stefano wrote in a letter to India's Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. "I must express my profound regret for what has happened and do not hesitate to reaffirm by personal regard - and that of the city I represent - for the Indian people."

 

"The friendship between our two countries has been extensive, sincere and loyal, in every area," the letter stated.

neo, we indians still thing westerners are superior to us and they have to be treated well and all. Like i posted earlier India still not got over colonial past.

 

If not it should have been other way around. We Indians are superior to them in every way...Most of the Best Scientist, best Doctors, Best Economist,Best Entreprenuers are Indians only....koi kami nahi hai hame...bas we dont know how to use our resource well and that we still stand divided .....It should be united we stand ..divided we fall but in india things are opposite.

^ Could not have said it better, the hypocricy just boggles my mind !!!

 

Anyway about the Italians issue, there is a lot that doesn't meet the eye, and i feel a big political move, since the issue of Italian sailors was a big one in the recently concluded Italian elections, and Indian government has probably struck a deal of Italy scratching it's back while it scratches theirs, the VVIP deal making news and subsequent moves by government make it more suspicious.

 

I believe Italian ambassdor will be sent back in the coming days, and CBI report indicting BJP leaders like Jaswant SIngh etc. is on the cards, Jaswant Singh's defence against defaming SP Tyagi by media, is also an indication of his involvement & maybe more names will also roll out, BJP has probably got a whiff of this plot & are posturing to involve SC in the whole thing as a diversionary tactic. They pulled an 'Anna Hazaare' on them, & congress is hell bent on returning the favour.

 

 

Anyways, it will all be clear in the coming days & months !!

 

 

Very interesting, if that actually happens it will be a political master class by Congress. Indicting bjp in a big corruption scam just before the elections will swing many votes. Congress has been playing very smart in the past half a year. Executing kasab and guru after years of having cold feet, rolling out subsidy cuts and now this. Congress is not the grand old party for nothing, there are some serious strategists in their ranks; who can forget sonia gandhi giving up a sure PM seat back in 04 and in one sweep making nda look like fools for questioning here integrity (based on her foreign origin), garnering sympathy because of her big sacrifice and implicitly getting all the power without any constitutional responsibility. Respect !

 

I am not advocating that she is a great or even good leader, that is subjective and she has many glaring faults of her own; but you got to admire the political shenanigans and acumen. It is going to be very interesting 12 months from hereon.

Related to political speculation regarding marines row - Rumours are afloat that Indian government is thinking of reducing the strength of Italian envoys, this can work in 2 ways in favour of congress politically, it will blunt the RSS internet campaign of slamming Sonia's Italian origin & affiliation towards Italian, RSS volunteers can be seen in thousands flooding sites like yahoo, facebook etc. + they will drag BJP in the same hole they had dug for Congress. It also shows how important it is to have a person of high political acumen on the seat of President.

 

Pratibha Patil was a lame duck president to say the least, her appointment of CAG without considering the person's political affiliation costed congress as well as the country's economy a lot in the last few years, Vinod Rai abused the seat to every extent possible to favour BJP but CAG's term end's in May of this year, and with Pranab on President's seat, I see a slurry of corruption charges against NDA ministers propping up just before general elections. Congress has already succeeded in dividing the BJP and Rajnath's addittion in the front line will weaken BJP's offence which was headed by people of very high political acumen like Sushma Swaraj, Arun Jaitley, Murli Manohar Joshi etc. This is what was planned by Congress and they executed it very skillfully without creating too much political ripples

Someone on Reddit put it nicely.

 

  1. Italian marines were released on bail initially on the basis of a

    bond by 2 Indian private citizens. But they had to stay within Kochi

    police station limits. Later, this was relaxed when the Italian embassy

    stood guarantee and the Italian Ambassador himself submitted a personal bond before the court

    (in addition to the 2 Indian citizens who have stood guarantee) - and

    they were allowed to go home for Christmas. They returned after their

    visit but once again, they sought to go home to vote. Additional

    guarantees were taken from the Italian embassy and the ambassador.

  2. The stipulated period for their overseas visit has expired, but they have not returned. This means the bond conditions have been breached and the Ambassador and the two other Indian guarantors are now liable for prosecution in India.

The leave has yet not ended , they were permetited to leave india upto 28th March .

The Bond given by the Indians Was only for the christmas holiday period .

The only implication can be against The Italian Ambassador who had given a personal insurance . ITALY wants to try this according to UN maritime Laws because of the them enjoying a better and more favorable image than INDIA .

How ever until the ambassador is within the boundaries of the Embassy/mission no one can even touch him.

India is pursuing this matter vigorously because its a matter of national disrespect now , also with the elections coming up in Delhi and other KEY states , congress Can't afford to loose it ,after all Sonia Gandhi is Italian Born and raised. This might raise a lot of questions ,still Congress played it pretty well .

Are they really reducing age of consent to 16?

IMO that is not good. Many offences which are actually statutory rapes will be passed on as consensual sex. It has more ill intents than actually solving the teen pre-marital sex, which is a non-problem anyway.

 

I mean why is this even under discussion right now.

if the whities are so concerned then maybe they should not be so stingy when it comes to giving us nuclear tech... hrrrum ?

still no one is advocating the status quo to remain in coal mining in india but asian countries can't alone bear the responsibility of curbing coal emissions. The west is equally responsible for global warming, not so much as in present when you look solely at pure numbers in coal but they were the ones to initiate it.

 

Industrial revolution and the coal mining and burning practices at that time in uk and us are well documented. Back then the world was not aware of all the potential harms of excessive coal usage because it was a new tech and also cause earth was hitherto largely unpolluted, so they went ape sh*t in harnessing energy and subsequent economic superiority. Now that they have reached the upper curve of development and can afford using nuclear and widespread solar sources, they are starting to preach.
