Indophobes: read this and eat your heart out dawn.com By Afzal Mahmood Excerpt Summing up the purpose of his visit to India Clinton says: "We have an enormous common interest in shaping the future with them." The Americans see India as an emerging economic powerhouse, with sustained growth rates of over 6 per cent a year and having what is arguably the largest middle class population anywhere in today's world. But Washington's interest in India is more than economic because it sees New Delhi as a player in the larger Asian context. Given the uncertain future of Sino-US relations and the likely emergence of China as America's competitor, both militarily and economically, Washington may have decided to back up India's big-power ambitions in and outside the region.

The Indian media as well as some of its people are so eagerly anticipating Clinton skipping Pakistan and have now worked themselves into a corner over it. Now, if Clinton visits Pakistan (and take it from me, he will) it will no longer be a routine event, but rather a slap on the faces of all those guys hoping that he will not visit Pakistan. But then, much of the right-wing in India and its supporters are obsessed with Pakistan. So one cannot expect them to behave any differently!
