When you go to Colonial Williamsburg, you may see reenactment of declaration of War against Great Britain. There are memorials all over this country in connection with this war of independence. That does not mean, Americans are xenophobic.

Of course, it doesn't. Because the tone of those memorials is NOT one of "let's go and wipe out the enemy"...

It is not inconceivable that India, Pakistan and Bangla Desh can and will come under one umbrella of one nation and one people. What is wrong with that?

Nothing wrong. Except that it won't happen. Notwithstanding the wishes of the romantics (who want all the people of the sub-continent coming together because of love) and the machinations of the Hindu fanatics (who want the entire sub-continent to become an "Akhand Bharat").

It is even less likely to happen because India itself is a powder-keg of hundreds of kingdoms put together by the British and is displaying all signs of a country that is too large for central governance.

Look at the Bangla Deshis. Why are so many of them moving into neighboring India. How come the so-called xenophobic Indian Govt want to give them protection, homes and voting rights.

You are mixing up the issues. This government doesn't want to do anything of that sort. In fact, it constantly accuses the previous governments of doing the very things that you mentioned.

And now you are talking about xenophobia. xenophobia is fast becoming a dying idea in the minds of people and psyche of nations.

And so is expansionism -- a thing of the past. However, in the minds of those who want to live in the past, these ideas are alive and well.

Go to Queens Borough in New York City. It is a microcosm of all nations around the world. Where is the xenophobia?

I was talking India under its current government. Not about Williamsburg or Germany or Queens Borough.

Dipy.
