In India, right since 1947, it is understood that the Republicans have been pro-Pak whereas the Democrats always nourished pro-Indian policies. The Republican Presidents gave huge economic aids and arms and ammunitions to Pakistan when the latter conceded to join the NATO. On the other hand, India as a proud nation maintained equi-distance from both the power blocs. Later, with Marshal Tito of earstwhile Ugoslavia and Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt, Pt Nehru had spearheaded non-alignment movement. As the time went by, India started going closer to the then USSR because pinpricks from Pakistan were badly disturbing her. Particularly from 1960 to 1980, the American bonanzas were so rampant that the military rulers of Pakistan waged wars against India in 1965 and 1971.
There was a break in this trend when Kennedy became the Democratic President. There was a rethinking that for a small country like Pakistan, to ignore the second most populated country of the world was not a wise policy. So, Kennedy started giving priority to India to the dislike of Pakistan. But to our misfortune, Kennedy was assassinated and his successor Johnson later lost to the Republican party. The two terms of Bush revived the undue espousal of Pak causes. During Clinton regime some improvements were marked in Indo-US relations, which went a step ahead under Obama. But, we have seen that the US was never strict to Pakistan on the terrorist issues. Entire POK stands converted into train camps for the Jehadis, infiltrating their groups into J&K for creating disturbances. When India moved USA, they would say that the evidences were not enough.
Now the next election is due in America. Hillary Clinton of Democratic Party and Donald Trump of the Republican Party are likely to emerge as presidential candidates..There are 22 lakh Indians in that country and several among them are holding good positions to influence the voters. We must judge the candidates on the basis of their track record. We definitely want a President who could help us to deal with China and Pakistan. While the Democrat candidate is evasive on these issues, the Republican puts forward his stand bluntly and boldly. Trump is very angry on the economic policy of China and has declared that he would not permit the Dragon the ’rape’ of American economy through excessive exports. Regarding Pakistan, he has declared that he would be the last person to tolerate Islamic Jehad. He would not hesitate to curb immigration of Muslims. The world today is badly suffering from Islamic terrorism and we would definitely like the West, led by the USA to come heavily on such religious militancy. Therefore, we Indians should wisely think if we should meekly stick to our old pro-Democrat attitude.
