Minister of Defense
Minister of Internal Affairs
Minister of Foreign Affairs
currently serving as President of Democratic Party of India
Q: So, you've been elected President of India 2 times now. You've also served as the de-facto President of India during 2 other months when the elected presidents were unable to serve due to RL commitments. You're like Indira Gandhi of eIndia.
A: Err.. well by character yes. But I am a boy in RL
======
Q: Howcome your character is female?
A: Well I am an experienced MMORPG player and I know how to gain advantage in a game
======
Q: Do you think this has helped you in your political career?
A: Well in start I got some free food and house, but nobody saw that I have a female character. They get shocked once they see a female profile, and consider it a bug. So they always treat me like a boy and most of the Indian people know now that I am male, so it didn't help that much.
======
Q: Ok lets talk about Karnataka. USA is in the process of returning Karnataka to India. Karnataka's population is down to 2400. How do you feel? You were the one that asked for it back as President of India.
A: Well, it shows that with great power comes great responsibility. I am not a fan of USA in RL, but the players who plays the game from USA were all good always and supporting too. I remember when I was elected as President and didn't know how to attack or retreat, PigInZen taught me how to do that. Lucius helped me to get those strategies. But when karnataka is considered, I like to have the whole India back on the map, and I appreciate USA's move
======
Q: How significant do you expect Karnataka to be in V2, considering that iron wont be as important as titanium, and medium and hi resource regions might get equalized?
A: Well Iron will have less importance in V2, that's why it'll not be as susceptible to attack as now. So it'll be most probably safe. And it can help India grow economically in V2 too.
======
Q: India makes 12-15 gold a day in taxes. So essentially USA was paying India 3 times India's weekly income, every week. How do you respond to that?
A: Well whatever we'll earn from Karnataka, it'll be our own hard earned income. USA is making almost 4 times the gold, wich is payed to India. I know we can't make that much gold, but we haven't given Karnataka to USA just because of rent. It was to protect India from PTO.
======
Q: How confident are you that your nation can defend the whole subcontintent?
A: Well we have brains, just lack with manpower. If we can kick out 2 Phoenix superpowers from our country, we can do anything then. And don't worry there's a babyboom waiting to be happen.
======
Q: Let's talk about the Indian population. I've heard people say that India has 150 active players. Is that true?
A: Yep it is.
======
Q: So what's India's plan? 150 players cant defend 17 territories on their own. Are you confident in India's MPPs?
A: We can defend it, we have planned everything possible. Most of the plan is confidential however.
======
Q: When the Karnataka issue became public, our President at the time HR said that he talked to the Indian leadership as the Karnataka loan deal was ending. He said that the Indian leadership asked for more money to continue the deal, but he refused. Then you wrote that article where you asked to take back Karnataka.
A: Well, we asked more than 900 gold at the time of starting the deal initially 6 months ago. But due to some misunderstanding Jelly9473, that time Ambassador to USA conveyed wrong msg. And the deal was written. But we asked many times to raise it, USA even told us that they are losing money by having Karnataka. Also they wanted to reduce the rent to 600 gold per month this month, so we asked it back, as there was no reason left to let USA have Karnataka then.
======
Q: How much did India want for Karnataka?
A: Well we don't want any gold, at least I don't want any. But at the renewal we asked for 1500, but USA refused and said they will pay 600.
======
Q: USA is currently paying 1300, right?
A: Yeah I think so, just to give them time to shift players to California.
======
Q: So USA was paying 900, and India wanted 1500, but USA offered 600 at the time of the renewal.
A: Yep.
======
Q: So India asked for 1500, and USA offered 600. But just to continue the deal for 2 months, the countries agreed to the price of 1300. Do you think that if the American negotiating team offered a more reasonable price that the deal could've continued unobstructed, and out of the press? USA would have been allowed to keep the region and all this would have never gotten into the public eye. Just as the current compromise deal of 1300 gold was reached, a similar deal that could have gone on indefinetely where USA keeps Karnataka in good faith?
A: I wanted the full India, but if USA were agreed on 1500, I couldnt have asked for it to be returned for next 3 months. So the refusal of USA helped us get it sooner. Though many other senior players didnt want Karnataka back at the start of last month's negotiations, but USA negligence made them think the opposite.
======
Q: In your article you talked about India going for free trade in the future. How do you see that working?
A: Well it's working bad for my own company now, but I can see GDP of India rising and too much Gold Inflow. We are getting cheaper products and higher salaries and still running companies is not that hard. It's just a tough way for domestic companies, but they are learning how to get profits in a free trade zone.
======
Q: Will India keep its markets open for imports if USA makes a deal to buy iron from India?
A: Yes we will.
======
Q: What about India's geopolitical situation Every country has a favorite enemy that keeps its players playing. Pakistan is obviously India's favorite enemy. Tell us about Pakistan, and also other enemies, like Iran and Indonesia.
A: Well Pakistan is a favourite enemy of us in RL, but in eRep Pak is not so strong to become our permanent enemy. We can finish it whenever we want, and that makes people feel bored. Iran has much better prospects, but they chose PTO way to get India. We tried with Serbia, but Serbia is too neutral about us and don't want to attack. Indo is too far and without USA it can have a chance
======
Q: What about India's allies. Who are your best allies and why?
A: Croatia and Romania are our best allies, they don't need anything from us in return for help. USA is the next but they always have their purpose, but they are ready to help always.
======
Q: What about China? Or any countries that are close to you, your Asian neighbours that you can count on for swaps to keep India safe?
A: Well China mostly depends on EDEN and we need to ask eden for help if we want China to help us. They helped many times by swaping, but as we have some common MPPs we cant do it anymore.
======
Q: So who will India depend on for swaps, once USA leaves India?
A: Well, we have no option other than China now, but we can manage things later.
======
Q: Will India apply for membership in EDEN?
A: Till we have 20K+ Population, NO. We dont want to be puppet of any country.
======
Q: But you are EDEN-aligned?
A: Nope, we are not bound. Phoenix was not good for us in past, so we are with eden. We love to be neutral.
======
Q: What about rumors that India wants to rent Karnataka to Hungary?
A: LOL, they are more humor than rumor. If we want to rent it, why not some friendly country like Romania, Croatia or USA. Even why not serbia, they are closer than Hungary
======
Q: You would rent it to Serbia?
A: Even Serbia refused to rent Karnataka lol. They just want USA out from there.
======
Q: When u say Serbia refused to rent Karnataka, you mean Serbia was offered the chance to rent Karnataka?
A: Well I asked Serbia to know what they are planning, but they said they are not interested in any rent, even if we offer it. They have LK and dont want any other high iron.
======
Q: What will happen with all the American companies in Karnatka?
A: They are free to stay there, or sell to others if they dont want to stay. They earned a lot also while they knew it's a risk.
======
Q: A lot of people will lose money. Do u have a msg for Americans who invested in companies in karnataka?
A: I insist you stay in Karnataka, You just need 10 friends of yours to stay with you as an employee. You wont lose money. And even if you want to stay in USA, you are free to go. I sympathize with you, but I can't change anything.
======
Q: And about PTOs, how will u handle PTOs in the future? Because from what I've heard, Ostin had Phx PTOers pulled from India to befriend india, and at the same time moving them to Australia to try to take over there. So what happens when Phx PTOers come back?
A: Well we have our own ways to fight with PTO. They tried hard every time, but failed. And after USA left karnataka, there'll be less chance of PTO. Also V2 is near so if I were the PTOer I'll rather choose titanium over iron
======
Q: Final thought?
A: Well I just want to say to the Indian people to keep faith in India and its govt. Try to bring as many friends as you can. Start taking part in everything. And to the Global readers "Just wait and watch."

You are not a fan of US in RL...well that's not a generalization of the American people (sarcasm).
Do you dislike our government, or the people? Or do you just dislike our military practices?
That's the only question i want to ask him, because if you dislike the United States, then please, tell the > 20 million people who work the telephone for LINKSYS and DELL and other telecomm companies to quit their jobs so Americans can take their place. Oh and the millions of dollars the US gives to countries for relief aid, even to countries that hate the US..including India (not saying India hates the RL US, just saying that we give aid).
