Russias Population Problem Indian men the answer?

Across Russia and Central Asia, women seem to perceive Indian men through the prism of values that
they have seen in Bollywood movies.

Four young Ukrainian women went topless on the

balcony of the Indian envoys residence in Kiev with
placards pronouncing Ukraine is not a bordello and
We are not prostitutes. The

Femen quartet are

'famous' for topless protests against topics ranging

from sex tourism to Silvio Berlusconis peccadilloes.
This time they were protesting the alleged tightening of
visa rules by the Indian mission in Kiev for Ukrainian
women in the 15-40 age group. | Image source &

A few weeks ago, some women from Ukraine protested when the Indian External Affairs Ministry (MEA) decided that
it will restrict visas to Ukrainian women.
The ministry expected (as per news reports) that some of these women were being purportedly recruited on a
short-term basis by political parties to motivate party cadre in election bound states of UP and Punjab.
So, the Indian Government decided to scrutinize visa applications from Ukrainian women in 15-40 years age group as
probable prostitute-candidates.
The Indian embassy in Kiev denied this report.
STOP Press!

The Ukrainian government has decided to press charges against the Femen group for their protest in the Indian
embassy. The Charges hooliganism and desecration of state symbols.
Active since 2008, Femen Group members have never faced imprisonment worst being fines or brief arrests.

Wah! Taj
Around the same time, a court in Siberia was hearing arguments on why the Bhagwad Gita was a threat to Christianity
in Russia and must be banned.
Russia has less than 100,000 Hindus who spontaneously converted from Christianity to Hinduism under the aegis of
the American gurus Krishna Consciousness Foundation popularly known as Hare Krishna devotees.
The Tomsk court finally decided that the ban was not justified.

To complete the chain

And then the older story (from 2007) which amused a lot of Indians and promptly forgotten.
Desperate to reverse a steep decline in their numbers, Russians are coming up with some bold ideas on
how to overcome Russias demographic crisis.
A Russian feminist has proposed a radical solution to the falling birth rate importing Indian
bridegrooms for Russian girls. Maria Arbatova, writer and TV moderator, who married an Indian
businessman a few years ago after 25 years of keeping marrying Russians, thinks Indian men make
ideal husbands.
They are crazy about their family and children, she said presenting her new book, Tasting India, here.
What is more, Indians, like Russians, are Indo-Europeans, and many Sanskrit and Russian words have
the same roots.
Indian bridegrooms can help ward off a Chinese demographic invasion in Russia, says the feminist: If
we do not balance off the Chinese with Indians, Africans or aliens, by 2050 China will annex Russias
Siberia up to the Ural Mountains.
Russia has a population of 142 million spread across a territory five times the size of India. Its
population is shrinking at one-third of a million a year. Under a federal programme launched this year,
women who give birth to a second or subsequent child are given certificates worth $10,000, which can
be used for education, mortgage or pensions. (via The Hindu : Front Page : Import Indian bridegrooms
for Russian brides).

I just want to say that I think Maria is a very strong and forward thinker, and that she is right in that a
government policy to attract Indian bachelors to Russia would be a very strong and effective policy and
that this would, for many reasons, very very dramticly increase Russias population and counter the
Chinese in the far east . They could very easliy implement this as well especially in the central and
western regions. As for the con part of the arguement things would be dramaticly changed and altered
for good. So as Russia wants to import Indian men to intermarry into mixed-marriages with its female
population things would start slowly to overcome the any built-in resistence to it. But after a short time
as more and more Indian men are brought to Russia they will be overcome.
First off, the cultural and ethnic barriers will be helped by the governments approval, so that eventually
all barriers by Russian Women to Indian men will be overcome. Also, when Russian women find out
and realize that Indian Men are much better husbands than Russian men then this perception will turn
into reality for them, just the as the Chinese men are doing in the far east primorey region where they
are taking Russian wives because they are considered to be much better husbands than Russian men.
Also the Opposites Attract addage will eventually come into play and the Russian women, like White
American and European Women have done in the rest of the world in the last 30-35 years, (yes this is a
worldwide trend for White Women to Intermarry with men of other races and be assiliated by these

other races whether African-black,Arabic, Asian) will find the racial differences in skin tone, skin color,
as well as the cultural differences to be very exciting, attractive and appealing. So basically the much
darker skin and exotic appeal will become a positive for the Indian men to use in wooing Russian
women. So, at some point the sexual attraction between the Russian women and Indian men will be
much stronger than with Russian Men. So these marriages will soon grow and gain a foothold. So, as a
result, of all of these factors, and the Indian mans aareness of his mission in Russia to repopulate it,
Indian men will much more vigorouly, powerfully, and passionately plant his seed within Russiaa
female population and much sooner than anyone would imagine will millions of Indians will conquer
the Russian Female population completely and thoroughly. Also centuries and decades of pentup
demand for White women by Indian Men will help fuel the drive and passion for this. What would be a
more obvious expression of this than to have his White Girlfriend or Wife pregnant? After all the
russians themselves told him that it was his mission.
So it is very easy to conjecture about how successful this program would be. But its success is also its
drawback, for as Indian Men would more and more conquer Russias Female population and would
become the countrys most dominant and preferred male, a lot of native russians would be pushed aside
and by that time the domination and conquest of Russian Women by Indias Males would be total and
complete. So there would be many major changes in the country to consider because the Indian
dominance in Russia would happen very very quickly before anyone could or would realize it.
I might add that this is an unbiases assesment of the situation as I am an American who has been to boh
countries.

Touch!
I am so in love with the tone of this comment.
Your sense of irony and satire is so subtle, it would take needle point balance to tip over on
the side of satire.
If you are a red-neck, which I highly doubt, (which self-respecting red-neck would travel to
India?), you are among the prime of the species.
I think 2ndlook readers are lucky to get come across an original practitioner of satire like you.
