The following excerpts from your link: pathfinder.com. My opinion: Whom are they trying to BAMBOOzle? Very slanted and very tilted attitude worse than Nixonian tilt. Very CONFUSING CONFUSIAN Stand Can't use Chopsticks with out fingers, If chopsticks are ASEAN and Fingers are India. Very jaundiced outlook by ASEAN and EU Where would they be if it is not for Buddhists. Asia without India is body without mind EXCERPTS: They have reduced the region's vast land mass to little more than its Confucian fringe. Call it Chopsticks Asia. The Asians who will attend this year's presumptuously titled Asia-Europe Meeting, or ASEM, a forum launched in Bangkok two years ago, maintain a rather narrow definition of Asia. Asia minus India is like Hamlet without the Prince of Denmark, snapped then Foreign Minister Pranab Mukherjee when ASEM was started two years ago. Even European Commission Vice President Manuel Marin protested that, without India, ASEM would be only "a specific meeting between the E.U. [European Union] and the ASEAN [Association of Southeast Asian Nations]." Buttressing this claim is the theory that Shinto, the Japanese state religion, comes from the word Sindhu (Indus), the river that gave India its name. That bears out French orientalist Sylvain Levi's observation that India had left "indelible imprints...from Persia to the Chinese sea, Just as apartheid South Africa treated the Japanese as honorary whites, if Eskimos or Yemenis strike it rich, the Confucianists would probably embrace them as long-lost brothers.

[From the article] ... if Eskimos or Yemenis strike it rich, the Confucianists would probably embrace them as long-lost brothers. Duh! But how about India "striking it rich" and teaching a lesson to those who wish to exclude it from the picture, eh???? Pah! The only thing that those right-wing fanatics in India know is how to strike a match and set things on fire! Of course, they do know how to strike it rich for themselves, by imposing their stupid "Swadeshi" policies. Tell you what, next time there is an ASEM summit, maybe they should send some of those Bajrang Dal apes (a.k.a. "Bajrangutans" :-) :-) ) to disrupt the proceedings of the conference! ;-) Dipy.
