US is no saint, nor even the best in everything ever. But unlike us, they are not bitten by the indigenous & morality bug. They will beg borrow steal whatever it takes to get the job done. They have poached talent famously over the last many decades for nuclear bombs, jet engines & very lately for HGVs (imagine stealing from the Chinese!):
MI6 PLAYED a key role in helping a senior Chinese scientist defect to the West, intelligence sources revealed last night.

What's more, every time they steal they will bill it as a victory for freedom and liberal values of the West. The world will applaud- such is the power of their narrative.
Yes, the Americans are certainly quite unscrupulous in trying to maintain their supremacy. Like an giant octopus having its tentacles in all parts of the world. Ensuring that no credible challenger arises anywhere. Balkanising countries in the name of liberty and freedom. Certain circles in the US elite harboured dreams of balkanising India along language lines. In the past. So there are some crazy extremists in the Pentagon and the far right wing white racist segments of the administration who look down on countries like India. The evangelical religious extremists in both the US and parts of Europe believe that Hinduism is a a pagan and degenerate religion and poor Indians (Hindus) must be given salvation by converting to Christianity.
The truth is that the US has benefited immensely from the global brain drain. The best talents from all over the world immigrate to the US. There are no two opinions about this.
There is a very systematic campaign presently being undertaken to organise mass conversions in all parts of India. Many would have noticed an exponential increase in new churches being built in the country. Foreign money is flowing in like water to advance the agenda. Special attention is being paid to the Southern states.
Having made all these statements, I wish to make some clarifications.
Christianity is a religion of peace and development but many people and organisations have hijacked the narrative to carry out an largely political agenda. Trying to change the demographic profile of countries. By using all means including money. Certainly not the path advocated by the original followers of Christianity.
I agree that the West especially the US has a stranglehold on the global media. It propagates an global view espoused by Washington. Many times an one sided narrative. The US and its media organisations exercise significant influence on national media outlets in almost all countries. An example. The Hindu newspaper in India follows an pro US and pro Christian stand most of the time. They are probably the first to highlight alleged atrocities on Christian and Muslim minorities. Probably they are the beneficiary of investment coming from the US. So probably returning the favour.
The fully indigenous Hindu origin Karnatic music is sought to be used to propagate Christianity. Christian prayer songs are being composed based on Karnatic music ragas. An attempt to confuse the public and appeal to Hindus. Usurping Hindu culture. Getting new converts.
Nobody is against Christianity. It is these organised attempts to try and mass convert indigenous religious denominations that are offensive and which must be resisted.
To put things in perspective, the majority of Americans do not want to forcefully convert Indians or get India balkanised. The founding fathers of the US dream like Abraham Lincoln were Liberal, Democratic and Secular. The US population has welcomed immigrants and not sought to forcefully change their religion or culture.
It is only a minority of extreme right wing people who unfortunately are quite influential in the administration who try to ensure Pax Americana in the rest of the world. Irrespective of the costs. All means justified.
India will never pose a threat to the US because our shared interests are numerous.
But the US has to respect our independence and autonomy. Accept India as an overwhelming Hindu majority country whose citizens need not be made to convert.
Respect the Hindu religion and stop all organised attempts to change our demographic profile. We don't aim to turn the US into a Hindu majority nation. Hinduism is probably the most Liberal and Peace loving religion in the world along with Buddhism.
Anyway this is not an attempt to generate anti Americanism. We respect Americans for their contribution to Democracy and their penchant for innovation. A truly benign United States will find more friends everywhere.
