Su Kyi's imprisonment, Tibet, Northeast, Nepal - they are all blights on India's claim to regional superpower-hood. Is that a word?

I would have used "regional hegemon" to achieve the same meaning.

The Indian defense establishment has certainly been caught with it's knickers down 'round the ankles, when it comes to involvement with both sides of the Burma/Myanmar conflict--both the government and the rebels. Some governments are actually calling out India on their support for a brutal, military regime (are there any other kinds?) who engages in whatever kinds of actions it deems necessary with relative impunity.

MM, such embarrassments are only for those hypocritical enough to claim the moral high ground. We Indians never had a problem dirtying our hands in the domestic issues of our neighbors.

Google Ghandi – the first (of about 2,540,000 results) is the Wikipedia page for Mahatma Gandhi.

Do people misspell “Gandhi” because they think it should be spelled like “Ghana”? I’m not trying to be snarky or elitist, but is it really that hard to spell? If I can spell “Favre” or “Krzyzewski,” shouldn’t “Gandhi” pose fewer problems?

If we’re going to talk about ubiquitous, I’d like to nominate the “Be the change you wish to see in the world” quote, so often attributed to “Ghandi.” Amusingly enough, at my university early last year they did a social justice thing where they quoted “Indira Ghandi” (somewhat out of context, as I recall). I guess because one Gandhi is as good as another.

If, like my wife, you are wondering why I got dragged into this by Anna, it's not not because I once lived in what was then Rangoon (nor because my father happens to be flying there tomorrow for a short trip), but because of this item: Ghandi vs Gandhi.

I have nothing to say on this topic, but wanted to respond before it de-evolved into how the New York Times loss of journalistic integrity caused the Iraqi War and became a 400 count behemoth that was hard to read.
