The argumentative Indian

 Years of western colonization has helped Indians master the lingua franca of their colonial masters.A shining example is Gandhi who trained as a lawyer and his eloquence as an orator helped as an independence freedom fighter so the great Winston Churchill grossly underestimated the steely determination of the "half naked fakir "from the subcontinent His satyagraha or soul force that galvanised the passive resistance of a nation defeated the militarily superior and technically trained soldiers of the army.this non violencr resistance  revolution later spread and inspired freedom fighters like Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King.

So im trying to wean Jun from mindless smartphone  addiction to the intelligent discourses on the internet and he has discovered what Amartya Sen calls the Argumentative Indian.He says the thought provoking discussions by Prof Kishore Mahbubani of Singapore is riveting.his book Can Asians think is a bestseller.i say try google up Dr Jaishankar press interviews and you will see how eloquent and argumentative a good speaker he is when he stands up to Western hypocrisy and double standards.thats the epitome of wolf warrior diplomacy.
