Vier gegen die Bank ist eine deutsche Kriminalkomödie von Wolfgang Petersen, die am 25. Dezember 2016 in die deutschen Kinos kam. Der Film ist von Petersens gleichnamigem Fernsehfilm aus dem Jahr 1976 inspiriert. Die vier Hauptrollen spielen Til Schweiger, Matthias Schweighöfer, Jan Josef Liefers und Michael Herbig.

Handlung
Chris, Max und Peter kennen sich nicht und haben wenig gemeinsam – bis auf eines: Ihr erspartes Geld liegt bei der "Bärenbank AG" in Berlin und wird von Anlageberater Tobias verwaltet. Chris ist ein in die Jahre gekommener, mental etwas schlichter und mittlerweile halbblinder Boxer, der sich mit Selbstverteidigungskursen für Frauen und gelegentlichen Kämpfen finanziell über Wasser hält. Sein Leben lang hat er für seinen Traum gespart, eine eigene Boxhalle mit allem Drum und Dran eröffnen zu können. Max ist ein ambitionierter Werbeprofi aus einem reichen Elternhaus, der sich als Angestellter in einer erfolgreichen Agentur als zu eingeschränkt und wenig gewürdigt wahrnimmt. Deshalb kündigt er seinen Job mit sehr deutlichen Worten und plant, mit seinen Ersparnissen eine eigene Agentur zu gründen. Peter ist Schauspieler und war vor vielen Jahren Co-Star der Krimi-Serie "Bullet und Podolski". Doch die Angebote sind für ihn rar geworden, weshalb er für wenig Geld in Studenten-Produktionen auftritt. Seine Ersparnisse reichen jedoch aus, dass er, seine Frau Freddie und die beiden gemeinsamen Kinder gut über die Runden kommen. Gerade als die drei auf ihr Erspartes zugreifen wollen, müssen sie feststellen, dass bis auf wenige Hundert Euro alles verloren ist.

Die drei treffen erstmals im Foyer der "Bärenbank" aufeinander, als sie dort randalieren und Tobias lynchen wollen. Tobias ist ein an sich kompetenter Bankangestellter, der zwar die ihm anvertrauten Gelder sicher anlegt, jedoch aufgrund mangelnder Selbstsicherheit im Umgang mit anderen Menschen nur über wenige Kunden verfügt. Bankdirektor Heinrich Schumacher, der den Profit der Bank über das Wohl der Kunden stellt, will Tobias deshalb loswerden und durch einen Berater mit weniger Hemmungen ersetzen. Kurzerhand lässt Schumacher darum das gesamte Geld von Tobias' Kunden abbuchen und wirft diesem Unfähigkeit vor, nachdem er ihm sämtliche Marktinformationen vorenthalten hatte. Tobias wird entlassen.

Chris, Max und Peter gehen zusammen in eine Kneipe, um auf den schweren Schock erst mal einen zu trinken. Zufällig treffen sie dort auf Tobias, der geknickt in einer Ecke sitzt. Als dieser die Kneipe verlässt, verfolgen ihn die anderen drei bis zu seiner Wohnung, dringen in diese ein und fesseln ihn. Von der Idee, den Unschuldigen zu töten, nimmt Peter jedoch schnell Abstand, als sich Tobias als großer Fan von "Bullet und Podolski" outet. Der Schauspieler überredet Max und Chris, Tobias am Leben zu lassen und sich stattdessen das Geld von der Bank zurückzuholen – mithilfe des Wissens ihres "Insiders" Tobias.

So schmiedet das Quartett Pläne und kommt – nach vielen absurden Vorschlägen von Chris, einfach jeden zusammenzuschlagen, der sich ihnen auf dem Weg zum Tresor entgegenstellt – schließlich zu dem Schluss, dass an einem Freitag (wenn neues Bargeld eintrifft) die Bank gestürmt wird, Chris die Sicherheitsleute ausschaltet und danach im Fluchtfahrzeug vor der Tür wartet, Max die Gäste in Schach hält und Peter dem Assistenten Schumachers unter vorgehaltener Waffe den Code für den Tresor entlockt. Anschließend sollen zwei Reisetaschen mit Bargeld vollgestopft werden, Max und Peter sollen durch einen Seiteneingang fliehen und mit Chris im Fluchtwagen verschwinden. Vorbereitend auf ihren Coup stehlen die vier ein Auto von einem Dauerparkplatz am Flughafen und bezahlen einen Obdachlosen dafür, einen Überfall zu simulieren. So finden sie heraus, dass die Polizei etwa viereinhalb Minuten braucht, bis alle Ausgänge umstellt sind.

Nach jenem simulierten Überfall erscheint Elisabeth Zollner in der Bank. Sie leitet die Polizeiabteilung zur Aufklärung von Banküberfällen und hält den dilettantischen Versuch des Obdachlosen (als "Waffe" hielt ein Schokoriegel her) eher für eine Vorbereitungsmaßnahme eines wirklichen Überfalls. So lässt sie alle Anwesenden nach dem "Überfall" verhören, darunter auch Peter, der behauptet, lediglich Geld eingezahlt zu haben.

Es kommt der Tag des Überfalls: Tobias soll dem Geschehen fernbleiben und vor vielen Augen etwas anderes tun, um als naheliegender Verdächtiger ein Alibi zu haben. So besucht er eine Papstmesse im Olympiastadion, überwindet seine Angst vor der eigenen Nacktheit und flitzt vor den Augen von über 50.000 Menschen durch das Stadion. Der Überfall selbst läuft zunächst ganz nach Plan, droht aber zu scheitern, als Peter bei dem in seine Hand gekritzelten Code die letzte Ziffer nicht mehr erkennen kann, Max die in Schach gehaltene Menge aus den Augen lässt und Chris das kurzgeschlossene Fluchtfahrzeug nicht gestartet bekommt. Kurz vor dem Eintreffen der Polizei ist jedoch alles doch noch gutgegangen und die drei Amateur-Gangster entkommen mit 2,1 Millionen Euro. Zusammen mit Tobias wird daraufhin in Peters Keller gefeiert, wo sie allerdings erkennen müssen, dass sämtliche Scheine markiert sind. Zollner hatte mit einem echten Überfall gerechnet und daher alle Banknoten markieren lassen, die somit für das Quartett nichts mehr wert sind. Als kurz darauf auch noch Peter (wegen einer eindeutigen Falschaussage nach dem falschen Überfall), Chris (wegen eines markanten Tattoos am Unterarm) und Tobias (wegen seines Nacktlaufs) von Zollner verdächtigt und befragt werden, beschließen die vier, dass das Geld und die "Schuldigen" von der Polizei gefunden werden müssen – anderenfalls würden sie über kurz oder lang überführt.

Mit der Hilfe von Freddie manipulieren sie zunächst Zollner: Max, der als einziger nicht verdächtigt wird, soll die partnersuchende Polizistin für sich gewinnen, indem er über eine Singlebörse ein Date mit ihr arrangiert – im selben Restaurant und zur selben Zeit, wo Schumacher mit seiner Affäre Heidi gewohnheitsgemäß ebenfalls zugegen ist. Kurz vorher sind auch Peter und Freddie im selben Restaurant, verlassen es jedoch, als Schumacher eintrifft. Durch eine List schafft Peter es so, dass Schumachers Fingerabdrücke auf einem Bündel Reisepässe landen. Als Zollner Schumacher erkennt und Max etwas von ihrer Arbeit erzählt, erklärt Max, dass doch zwischen Bankdirektor und Bankräuber an sich kein Unterschied bestehe – beide würden sich das Geld anderer Leute aneignen. Währenddessen verstecken Chris und Tobias 1,7 Millionen Euro und die Reisepässe in Schumachers Haus und suchen über seinen Computer Möglichkeiten für Offshore-Banking. Kurz darauf geben zwei alte Freunde von Chris (die lieber im Gefängnis als auf der Straße sitzen wollen) ein paar markierte Scheine in einer Tankstelle aus, haben das gleiche Tattoo wie Chris und bekennen sich zu dem Überfall. Als Kopf des Ganzen nennen sie Schumacher, dessen Haus daraufhin durchsucht wird. Nach Feststellung diverser Beweismittel wird auch der Bankdirektor verhaftet.

Den Erfolg feiern die vier gemeinsam in einer Bar; jeder hat die rund 100.000 Euro, um die Schumacher sie betrogen hatte, zurück und auch Tobias erhält den gleichen Anteil. Max ist mit Zollner fest liiert. Lachend stellen sie fest, dass es Schumachers Karma war, weshalb er nun im Gefängnis sitzen muss. Mit dem Versprechen, noch andere Bankdirektoren mit schlechtem Karma ins Gefängnis zu bringen, trinken sie aus.

Produktion
Die Dreharbeiten fanden vom 30. November 2015 bis zum 29. Februar 2016 in Berlin statt. Als Außenkulisse für die Bank diente das Alte Stadthaus. Die Papstmesse wurde im Olympiastadion gedreht.

Die Produktionskosten betrugen ca. 13 Millionen Euro. Das Einspielergebnis beträgt etwas über 9 Millionen Euro.

Trivia
 Vier gegen die Bank ist Wolfgang Petersens erster Kinofilm seit 10 Jahren (zuletzt Poseidon, 2006) und seine erste deutsche Kinoproduktion seit Die unendliche Geschichte (1984).
 Mehrfach wird auf andere Rollen der Schauspieler angespielt: So etwa Chris' Drohung "Sag deinen Eiern auf Wiedersehen", welche in sehr ähnlicher Weise (wenn auch weit weniger komödiantisch) von Schweigers Rolle in Inglourious Basterds gesprochen wird. Oder Peters Aussage, er sei einmal "der Star der beliebtesten deutschen Krimi-Serie" gewesen – tatsächlich spielt Liefers den Karl-Friedrich Boerne im Münsteraner Tatort, der zu den populärsten Tatorten gehört.
 Peters frühere Rolle heißt Jürgen Podolski. Oftmals wird er jedoch fälschlich Lukas genannt, wie der ehemalige Fußball-Nationalspieler.
 Peters früherer "Serienpartner" war Thomas Kretschmann als Kommissar Bullet, was auf einigen Plakaten gut zu erkennen ist.

Rezeption
Cinema schrieb, Regisseur Wolfgang Petersen nutze "clever die Stärken seiner Stars", auch mangle es der "überraschend rasanten, leichtgewichtigen Krimikomödie" nicht "an flotten Sprüchen und Klamauk". Als Fazit hieß es:

Christoph Petersen von Filmstarts vergab 2 von 5 Sternen und meinte, Vier gegen die Bank sei eine , der es außerdem an "schlagfertige[n] Dialoge[n]" wie auch "satirische[n] Spitzen" fehle. Die "gut aufgelegten Stars" würden zumindest verhindern, "dass es zu größeren Längen kommt" und den Film "zur zum Glück nur 96 Minuten entfernten Ziellinie" schleppen.

Der Filmdienst nannte den Film eine . Jedoch könnten "weder das rasante Erzähltempo noch die überdrehten Gags" verbergen, "dass sich der Film ausschließlich an Oberflächen entlang hangelt und es ihm an Charme und Eleganz mangelt".

"The lady investigators pursue missing pigeons in 1920s Kent..."
Walmsley Parva, a village in post-Great War Kent, England, is the setting for this second Beryl and Edwina mystery. The two ladies are friends who share accommodation and are presently without funds, so when a local man goes missing they decide to try their hand at being (paid) private detectives.
Beryl Helliwell is American and divorced with a reckless history, while Edwina Davenport is a local lady who worked in the Women's Land Army. In MURDER FLIES THE COOP, the man who is missing is a local pigeon fancier, who is treasurer of the pigeon racing club. At this time, the working men would race pigeons over short distances while middle-class people would subscribe to a club, take trains to release pigeons from a distance and time their arrival back to their coops. Vicar Lowethorpe, another pigeon fancier, is concerned for the whereabouts of Lionel Cunningham, the club's best racing birds, and some of the club's money. Maybe something has happened to the man, or maybe he has just absconded.
The period of the story will interest some readers, when women had gained the vote for the first time, had been working in men's jobs during the war, and often remained unmarried because too many men had been killed or severely wounded. At the same time, if you are used to a fast-paced story, the endless niceties, formal speaking and keeping up appearances may make for a slower tale than usual. The odd Americanism, like a disdain for Prohibition in the States, from Beryl, adds contrast to the staid English manners.
Another village called Pershing Magna is the start for a pigeon race so we get to meet some of the followers. We also meet coal miners, a way of life largely vanished from Britain today, and hear of the risks they run. The venues for investigation include allotments, a boarding house, tea rooms, and a colliery, so plenty of variety as we see how the ordinary people of the time may have lived. A murder is not an entirely respectable matter for ladies to investigate, but Beryl and Edwina manage with aplomb, fortified by the odd martini and gin fizz. They also resolve the issue of why a certain person wins too many races. And the two stalwart friends go somewhere that no Agatha Christie heroine would ever dare to tread. Fair play to them!
MURDER FLIES THE COOP is by Jessica Ellicott who lives in New England, and the first book in this series is called Murder In An English Village. The adventures will grow on you.
One would hardly call them birds of a feather, but thrill-seeking American adventuress Beryl Helliwell and quietly reserved Brit Edwina Davenport do one thing very well together�solve murders . . .
Sharing lodging in the sleepy English village of Walmsley Parva has eased some of the financial strain on the two old school chums, but money is still tight in these lean years following the Great War. All of Beryl's ex-husbands have proven reluctant to part with her alimony, which is most inconvenient.
So when the local vicar�and pigeon-racing club president� approaches them with a private inquiry opportunity, the ladies eagerly accept. There's been a spot of bother: the treasurer has absconded with the club's funds and several prized birds.
Beryl and Edwina hope to flush out the missing man by checking his boardinghouse and place of employment at the coal mine. But when they visit the man's loft, they find their elusive quarry lying in white feathers and a pool of crimson blood, stabbed to death�the only witnesses cooing mournfully.
After a stiff gin fizz, the ladies resume their search for the missing funds and prized birds�and now a murderer. Beryl and Edwina aren't shy about ruffling a few feathers as they home in on their suspects. But they had better find the killer fast, before their sleuthing career is cut short . . .

Q: How to use 2 columns in another table to filter simultaneously in dplyr I am trying to do something of this sort. I have 2 tables that would look like this:
Table 1

col1
col2
col3

One
1
A

Three
3
C

Table 2

col1
col2
col3

One
1
A

Two
2
B

Three
3
C

Then I would run this code to filter the 2 table.
final_table <- table_2 %>%
   filter(col1 %in% table_1$col1 &
          col2 %in% table_1$col2)

My understanding was it looked at 'table_1$col1' and 'table_1$col2' where they matched and filtered table_2 whenever the rows have those 2 columns matching.
The result would be:
Table 2

col1
col2
col3

One
1
A

Three
3
C

I guess the question is, is this a correct way of thinking?

A: We may do an inner_join
library(dplyr)
inner_join(table_1, table_2)

The first church was built in Colborne in 1823 as a meeting place for the Wesleyan Methodist congregation. On April 15th, 1830, Joseph Abbott Keeler presented the Methodist Trustee Board with the deed for Lot 82 in the Village of Colborne and a new church was built in 1830/32. The first parsonage was at the North end of the lot, the church was in the middle facing West, and the cemetery was in the South section of the lot.
In 1862 the present church was built out of bricks manufactured on Keeler's property West of Colborne. For some years after the new church was built, the old frame church was used as an exhibition hall by the Cramahe Agricultural Society. In 1889/90 the Sunday school and vestry were added to the north section of the church and at the same time, other alterations were done. In 1900, the building was again remodelled, by taking out the sides and gallery and widening the building. When this last renovation was completed the building no longer resembled the 1862 model. It is now clad in stucco. In 1889/90 Daniel Lewis Simmons ad his wife, Eliza Ann, presented the church with a pipe organ as a gift.
The church served the community until circa 2010 when, given its size, it became the preferred site for funerals and other community functions.
15 April, 1830, Joseph Abbott Keeler , the acknowledged founder of Colborne, Castleton and Norwood, provided the land on which the Colborne United Church (formerly Episcopal Methodist) stands. The church was built and it opened its doors on 23 May 1823.
The first settlers in Cramahe Township arrived from Rutland, Vermont, in 1793 under the leadership of Joseph Keeler (1763-1839). Among the early settlers were George Asahel Palmer (1761-1833) and his wife Hannah (1765-1832, née Wilkinson). On their arrival, the Palmers took possession of the 200 acres of land in Concession 2, Lot 31. This land was officially deeded to George Palmer by the Crown on 15 July 1802.
Joseph Keeler transferred the "front part" of Lot 31 to his son Joseph Abbott Keeler (1788-1855) on 15 January 1824. On acquiring the land from his father, Joseph A. Keeler proceeded to subdivide it, selling, among other properties, the land that would later be designated Reid Lot 81.
Joseph Abbott Keeler provided the land on which the United Church now stands to the Episcopal Methodist Church on 15 April 1830.
The first Methodist Church in Colborne opened its doors on 23 May 1823, but neither How Firm a Foundation (Argyris 2000) nor a 1962 pamphlet published by the United Church on the 100th anniversary of the construction of the current building indicate where that original church stood. Was it at the site of the present Church, on land owned by Joseph Keeler, or was it elsewhere? The second Methodist Church was definitely built on the property of interest here, shortly after the property was provided by Joseph Abbott Keeler. The United Church pamphlet states that this 1830 Church faced west. This is interesting because land office records suggest that Percy Street, which is immediately west of the Church property, did not exist at that time.
The original parsonage was immediately north of the church. It was destroyed by fire between 1851 and 1853 and was replaced by a new parsonage on the south side of Church Street East.
By 1862 the congregation had outgrown the 1830 church, so it was replaced that year by the Church that still exists on the site. Renovations and/or additions to the church occurred in 1875, 1890, and 1900.
The Methodist Church became a United Church when the Methodist Church, the Congregationalist Church, and many Presbyterian congregations combined in 1925.

If you open BOINC Manager (Advanced view) on the machine in question, you will find controls to do all sorts of things like setting "No new tasks" (NNT), aborting tasks (if you don't want to wait for them to complete) and "updating" a project to report completed or aborted tasks. When you have dealt with the tasks by whatever method you choose (abort them or allow them to complete), you can go to the "Projects" tab, select the EAH project and click "Detach" (it's called "Remove" in current BOINC versions) to get rid of the EAH project from that computer.

I Just Hate Everything Home of the insincere hyperbole.
TV Show List
in Pretty Little Liars, TV Review
Pretty Little Liars Season 5 Episode 14 – TV Review
Because justice is an illusion. And Spencer is going to be fucking 30 by then.
As I mentioned in my New Year's Eve post, I don't give a fuck about Pretty Little Liars anymore.
So with that in mind, here we go.
TL;DR The Liars successfully get Alison charged with Mona and Bethany's murders; and Spencer is off the hook; Alison continues to proclaim her innocence; Grunwald comes to town to remind us just how much we hated Ravenswood.
At least this episode was more eventful than that sorry excuse for a Christmas special.
So things kick off with Mona's belated funeral (with no body, of course). Alison doesn't make any friends, least of all with Mona's Mum, and the Liars are still convinced she's A. Some new evidence (a statement from Jessica from two years ago that Wilden buried) puts Spencer at risk of further incrimination for Bethany's murder, so the Liars band together to prove that Alison killed Mona, which should also throw enough shade for the cops to suspect her for Bethany's murder, too. They achieve this by guilting Jason into revealing that Alison's alibi for the night of Mona's death was bullshit, which, combined with the letter the Liars found last episode, is enough to convince Roma to pin everything on Alison and have the charges against Spencer dropped. Liar-by-Liar subplots include:
Aria tries to console a grief-stricken Mike. She also gets hacking lessons from Caleb, because she suspects A might have a hand in all these college rejection letters she's been getting (because you're just so perfect, aren't you, Aria?). Aria is later attacked by A (presumably Alison), and loses Mona's laptop (which Caleb had been unable to hack into, anyway).
Emily deals with the disappointment of Paige's departure, which she is unable to stop (mainly because Paige wants to go). She also hatches a quickly-abandoned scheme to plant Alison's hair in Mona's house for the cops to find. This leads her and Spencer to finding a hidden camera, instead.
Spencer both convinces Jason to sell out Alison, and gets the police to look at the hidden camera footage. It captured Mona being murdered by someone with long, blonde hair (though we don't get to see their face), which is enough to convince Jason and the police that Ali dun did it, y'all. Also, Toby is now officially a Rosewood police officer.
And Hanna calls in Grunwald to use her pyschic powers to try to find Mona's body. It pisses Caleb off, and is ineffective.
I wish I could muster the enthusiasm to really rip into PLL, but these days it just isn't there.
Thank God Glee is back this week. That oughtta perk me up.
Why I hate this episode:
The Rosewood police are just the height of incompetence and conclusion-jumping. I'll try to remember this from now on. I've often complained that the Liars should just go tell the police the truth about everything and that would fix their problems, but I think it's official now that it probably wouldn't help.
Aria's insistence that A must be responsible for her college rejections is typical Aria selfishness. Not at all surprising, but definitely fucking ridiculous. How self-centred.
Ezra apparently owns the cafe now? Did we know that already? I have trouble keeping up. Also, why?
Caleb's insistence that Aria learn how to hack, rather than having him do it for her, leaves her with Mona's laptop in her possession. Which allows A to steal it from her. How pointless.
Emily does an airport dash to reach Paige before she leaves. God, have some originality. Some self-respect wouldn't hurt, either.
How on Earth did A miss the enormous camera hiding in Mona's vent?
Grunwald and her Ravenswood reminders can get the fuck out, please. I'm with Caleb on this one.
Toby looks absurd in his uniform.
Oh, and the shining moment of stupidity comes at the end. The Liars are satisfied that Alison is in jail and all their A problems are over. Then some random fireworks make an A shape in the sky, and they're on edge agin. Seriously? What the fuck happened to this show?
But it's not all bad:
A almost shoots Aria with a nail gun. It's a small victory.
Mike, shockingly, is the saving grace of the episode. After a fruitless attempt to have Ezra bro-talk to him about his grief over Mona, Aria decides to have a proper sit-down with him later. She gives him the requisite flowery talk about how lovely Mona was, despite their differences. But Mike surprises her by expressing his frustation at everyone doing just that: speaking well of her only because she died. Maybe if they'd been more complimentary to her while she was alive, none of this would have ever happened. He's got a point.
He gets all weepy-eyed, and Aria offers to have a talk with him later about the Mona he knew. She leaves the room, and we hear Mike full-on bawling off-screen. It was enough to melt a couple of pin-pricks of frost on my icy heart.
The Liars' big scheme against Alison goes off impressively well. They achieve both their goals: put her under suspicion of Mona's murder, and lead the cops to suspect her for Bethany's murder (and they actually hand over the letter, instead of hiding it and waiting for A to inevitably swoop in and steal it).
Mona's Mum's epic bitch slap of Alison at the funeral was solid soap opera realness. It's a shame the rest of the episode is so static.
Spencer's bail is almost revoked because of a statement Jessica made two years ago about seeing Spencer in her yard that night with a blonde girl resembling Alison (Bethany). Wilden buried it, but Roma found it recently. It's good to see Wilden still being a jerk from beyond the grave.
Aria gets rejected from college. I lol'd.
The Liars form a human wall to block Alison from fleeing her arrest after she realises the jig is up. Burn, bitch. Alison, naturally, proclaims her innocence. And that she has been protecting the Liars. So without her, they're gonna get murdered next or something. If I didn't know we're already going to be forced through another two full seasons, I'd get my hopes up.
Jason turning on Alison was delicious.
Oh, and I wasn't kidding about the heights of retardation that the A fireworks soar to. It's almost Under the Dome levels of television ineptitude.
We know A isn't male, otherwise it would have just been a penis.

Do you think that Alison was really set up by A though? I know that nobody believes her now, but for the sake of the crappy plot, maybe she's telling the truth?
ijusthateeverything says : January 11, 2015 at 11:28 am
Oh, totally. Then A will turn out to be Ezra again or some shit like that.
Alexandru Ciobanu says : January 12, 2015 at 10:22 pm
Can it please be Aria? I don't see any scenario that is more satisfying that that. Well, unless Aria is killed by A.
ijusthateeverything says : January 12, 2015 at 11:45 pm
Best case scenario: Aria turns out to be A, and the other Liars kill her.
Alexandru Ciobanu says : January 13, 2015 at 9:30 pm
And it will be Emily who snaps and commits the murder, naturally.

India Today cover stories on Manmohan Singh
Timid India
Sharm el-Sheikh was symptomatic of what ails India"s foreign policy. The dangerous drift in its dealings with neighbours and major world powers has exacted a heavy toll.
ISSUE DATE: August 3, 2009
UPDATED: May 2, 2013 15:53 IST
Pronunciation: \'ti-m d\ ; Function: adjective
Etymology: Latin timidus, from timere to fear
1: lacking in courage or self-confidence
2: lacking in boldness or determination
The Merriam Webster"s Online Dictionary
There is no better word to sum up the primary shortcoming of India"s foreign policy. Maybe Prime Minister Manmohan Singh would find it too harsh. After all, in his first term as prime minister hadn"t he boldly gone where no Indian leader had in recent times and pulled off a major diplomatic victory by ending decades of India"s nuclear apartheid.
Manmohan"s flip-flops
"I am happy to meet you but my mandate is limited to telling you that the territory of Pakistan must not be allowed to be used for terrorism against India."
To President A. Zardari
June 16, Yekaterinburg
"Action on terrorism should not be linked to the composite dialogue process and these should not be bracketed."
Joint statement with PM Y. Gilani
July 16, Sharm el-Sheikh
"The starting point of any meaningful dialogue with Pakistan is a fulfilment of their commitment not to allow their territory to be used for terrorist activities."
To Parliament
July 17, New Delhi
So maybe he had visions of repeating his success by tackling an even more vexatious issue: building a durable peace with Pakistan. It certainly is in India"s national interest. It also has the potential to win him a Nobel Peace Prize and forever etch his name in the annals of world history"a reward big enough for every leader to give everything that he or she has got. But as Henry Kissinger once observed: "Each success only buys an admission ticket to a more difficult problem."
In Manmohan"s case, his success with the Indo-US deal is now also threatening to be his ticket to failure. In pushing through an ill-conceived, ill-prepared and poorly timed initiative to break the deadlock in relations with Pakistan, Manmohan not only blew his chances of affecting a breakthrough but also squandered much of the political capital and respect he had earned by winning a second term in office.
After the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, how to tackle Pakistan had become India"s principal foreign policy challenge. With reams of evidence pointing to Pakistan"s complicity in the matter, how Manmohan dealt with India"s troublesome neighbour would, along with a sustained economic recovery, define the success of UPA 2.0.
Manmohan demonstrated firmness when he met Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari on June 16 at Yekaterinburg, telling him, "I am happy to meet you but my mandate is limited to telling you that the territory of Pakistan must not be allowed to be used for terrorism against India."
By saying it loud enough for the TV cameras to pick up, he not only embarrassed Zardari but seemed to set the parameters for resuming a dialogue with Pakistan. Manmohan apologised later to Zardari and a month later at the Sharm el-Sheikh summit with Pakistan Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani, he inexplicably bent backwards to be accommodative to Pakistan.
Manmohan seems to have been convinced by Gilani"s promise that Pakistan would take all action to bring the perpetrators of the Mumbai attacks to book. The joint statement that was issued surprisingly delinked action on terror from the composite dialogue process which was a reversal of his earlier stand. It even went on to mention Pakistan"s concern about India"s interference in Balochistan. Experts saw the inclusion as blasphemous and called it a convenient stick for Islamabad to beat India with whenever it broached the issue of terror.
When India"s opposition parties protested vociferously and no support seemed forthcoming from his own party, Manmohan backtracked in Parliament, clarifying that "the starting point of a meaningful dialogue" with Pakistan would be if it kept its commitment not to allow its territory to be used for terrorist activities against India. Former Indian high commissioner to Pakistan G. Parthasarathy says, "The prime minister has a confused perception of Pakistan. Some of his notions have no relation to reality. He keeps flip-flopping and our Pakistan policy is now in a mess."
Manmohan with Gilani at Sharm el-Sheikh.
Yet as is increasingly evident, it is not just in its dealings with Pakistan that the UPA Government is facing mounting flak for its flatfootedness and timidity. Lalit Mansingh, a former foreign secretary, says, "The prime minister does have a soaring vision about the role of India but there is a major disconnet when it comes to practice and getting it implemented."
Take India"s relations with the US. George Bush and Manmohan Singh were able to effect a sea change in relations between the two countries. But with a Democratic administration led by Barack Obama taking charge early this year, an element of uncertainty had crept in between the two countries. It didn"t help that, while Obama was focused internally on the economy and externally on Iraq and Afghanistan, from March onwards India went into election mode. The drift was palpable and the balance was restored only with the five-day visit of US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
The visit, however, did fall far short of expectations with Hillary restraining herself from criticising Pakistan on tackling terror issues, hedging on charges that her administration was reneging on US commitments made for the nuclear deal and finding little meeting ground on issues such as WTO and climate change.
India delivered with an End User Agreement on defence purchases that would allow US companies to compete in big-ticket deals totalling $40 billion"something the Opposition said stank of a sell-out. Yet despite the huge concession, South Block didn"t seem to use it as a lever to get the US to pressure Pakistan to deliver on its terror commitments to India. With Manmohan"s misstep at Sharm el-Sheikh, it also gave credence to the charges that the UPA Government had become in many ways a supplicant to US interests in the region.
Worse, with the UPA so focused on its relations with Pakistan and the US, a damaging drift had set into its relations with other countries that matter to India. In Sri Lanka, while the UPA Government allowed President Mahinda Rajapakse to wipe out the LTTE and its chief V. Prabhakaran despite pressure from its allies in Tamil Nadu to stop the war, it has conceded considerable strategic ground to both China and Pakistan who supplied arms to the Sri Lanka Army. Nor has India come down forcefully enough on Rajapakse to spell out a new deal for the Tamils"the only way lasting peace can be ushered into the island.
On Nepal, Maoist leader Prachanda thumbed his nose at India by making his first state visit as prime minister to China and then, when he was ousted, charged India with conspiracy. The new dispensation though continues to be weak giving India little comfort. In Bangladesh, despite having a supportive Prime Minister in Sheikh Hasina Wajed, India has not been able to get it to repatriate top Assam separatist leaders who have taken shelter in its territory.
India doesn"t seem to have the stomach to take on an increasingly aggressive and nationalistic China. While trade relations between the two countries have grown significantly, there is very little progress on the border dispute. China recently reverted to its earlier position of disputing the legitimacy of Arunachal Pradesh as a part of India and staking claims on the monastery town of Tawang. There have been repeated intrusions by its army all across the Line of Actual Control. India"s response has been muted. When Manmohan went to Arunachal Pradesh, he deferred visiting Tawang.
Last month, when the Indian Air Force wanted to hold a ceremony to mark the deployment of its new fleet of Sukhoi fighters at Tezpur, South Block advised them to keep it low key lest it provoke China. India"s effort to develop the North-east has been flagging in contrast to China"s decisive thrust to develop infrastructure connecting Tibet and Beijing. Chinese influence in the North-east has grown, with illegal trade in Chinese goods booming.
Manmohan with Hillary Clinton.
Nor has India learnt to take a leaf from China"s tremendous success in international trade. To ensure energy security and a market for its goods, China has moved aggressively to woo African countries. Chinese President Hu Jintao and Premier Wen Jiabao make it a point to visit Africa regularly while Manmohan"s visits have been less frequent and mainly to larger nations such as South Africa and Nigeria. As a measure of its clout in the continent, when China hosted a summit in 2006, almost 40 African leaders turned up. Last year when India held a similar summit, only 10 leaders attended. This after India extended close to $1 billion as credit to various African countries and also in the past helped many of them gain freedom.
In ASEAN, which China dominates, India had long neglected the region and only in the 1990s launched its "Look East" policy. But it has struggled for the past four years to hammer out a Free Trade Agreement with ASEAN countries, resulting in loss of time and opportunity. Even with Russia, its old friend, trade has been stagnant. With Moscow demanding an additional $2 billion to build the Gorshkov aircraft carrier, relations have been strained.
India"s Middle East policy is in no better shape. While it has taken strides in its ties with Israel"Tel Aviv is now India"s largest defence seller"relations with most Arab nations have stagnated. Even then Manmohan waited for the fag end of his first term to visit Oman and Qatar. A trip to Saudi Arabia, which has recently shown keenness to engage India, is yet to materialise. As Kanwal Sibal, a former foreign secretary, says: "We don"t show much of our flag either in Africa or the Middle East." On the Palestinian issue, India is rarely consulted and in Iraq its role is even more marginal.
On Iran, while it correctly opposes Tehran"s efforts to build nuclear weapons, India didn"t help relations with it by voting for sanctions against it in the IAEA, seemingly under US pressure. In Central Asia, India has failed to cash in on the tremendous amount of goodwill that it had built up in the Commonwealth of Independent States, especially during the Soviet era. China, on the other hand, has made these countries its economic backyard. The only exception has been Afghanistan where India"s engagement has been nothing short of brilliant"indicating that if Delhi makes a planned and determined effort it can excel.
The overall picture on the way India"s foreign policy is being conducted is gloomy. "India is now regarded a soft state," says Brajesh Mishra, a former national security adviser. This is at a time when India is considered as an emerging global power with its economy growing at an impressive rate. As K.C. Singh, a former secretary in the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), points out: "A newly Independent India in 1947, militarily and economically fragile, operated out of moral strength; today despite India being an emerging global power we are negotiating out of self doubt and fear."
The real reason is that unlike China there is no coherence to India"s foreign policy. "In the absence of a distinct strategic doctrine, India"s foreign policy has become increasingly ad hoc," says Brahma Chellaney, professor at the Centre for Policy Research. Part of the reason is the uncertainty that has set in after the economic meltdown. Most countries are unclear as to how things will shape up and are hedging their relations with everyone"competing and cooperating at the same time. Sumit Ganguly, a USbased policy expert, says: "Economic clout is a key decider and India needs to be more aggressive to push its agenda."
So what should India do? To define India"s national interests, the MEA commissioned ICRIER, the Delhi-based economic think tank, to conduct a study. ICRIER"s director Rajiv Kumar says, "The consensus was security and economic prosperity and these had to walk as two feet without trade-offs. The neighbourhood remained the most important concern and the other issue was the need for India to play a role in global governance." If coalesced, these strands could form the basis for India"s foreign policy. Essentially these could translate into ensuring peace at the borders, retaining India"s strategic autonomy and working for economic prosperity through trade. To paraphrase Franklin D. Roosevelt, India now has nothing to fear but fear itself.
