India's failed NSG bid

This is for those who see India's failed NSG bid as a failure of Diplomacy. One sparrow doesn't make a summer. Not making into NSG is not the end of the world - as far as Indian diplomacy and its future is concerned.

Reminds me of Bruce Lee's movie - Enter The Dragon. China has arrived on world scene. A lesson to learn from it, the modern day power of a nation stems from its economic muscle. China has built it succinctly over last 30 years, strong enough to flex it.

Except America, no one has Economic or Military prowess even close to China. Time to get real about it. In this context, India is doing well by playing long term.

I am now reminded of Aamir Khan in his iconic movie "3 IDIOTS" - SUCCESS KE PICHHE MAT BHAGO. KAVIL BANO. EK DIN SUCCESS TUMHARE PICHHE BHAGEGA. It means, Don't chase success. Be capable. One day Success will chase you.

So its time for India to build its economic spine. The world will chase it and one day the NSG would be handed to it on a platter. Till then...
