India PM Modi set to visit Japan Aug 31-Sept 3

“The Government of Japan sincerely welcomes the visit of the Prime Minister, which will further strengthen the friendly relations between Japan and India,” said a separate statement from the Japanese embassy on Friday.

cultural exchange (!) yeah, business exchange already done with China.

India says China invaded them once, but India is taking the same measure as Japan --- Try to forget the history of that period.

This is totally different as China, China had been invaded by Japan, and China is tring to memory every details to memory that periodical history. Can I say that the only explain of these different behaviors is India is keep lying?

Can I also say that the India was the invader as a matter of fact?

Can I also say that the India was the invader as a matter of fact?

Erm, can I have some of what you've been smoking?

@SpeaklikeGandhiAUG. 17, 2014 - 03:26AM JST If you are Japanese, you, as one of the Asiatic members, should read about the Gandhi's thought about Japan during the WWI and WWII. There were admiration and discordance about Japan in his writings. When you read about his writings on the issues about the poor, economics, and religions, you will find that there were stunning similarities in his social ethics-moral principles, of India, with the social ethics in the older generation of Japan. For instance, India did not eat meat as Japanese did not eat meat before America came to Japan. Japan should welcome India warmheartedly.

Time magazine named Gandhi the Man of the Year in 1930. Gandhi was also the runner-up to Albert Einstein as "Person of the Century" at the end of 1999. The Government of India awards the annual Gandhi Peace Prize to distinguished social workers, world leaders and citizens. Nelson Mandela, the leader of South Africa's struggle to eradicate racial discrimination and segregation, was a prominent non-Indian recipient. In 2011, Time magazine named Gandhi as one of the top 25 political icons of all time.

Gandhi did not receive the Nobel Peace Prize, although he was nominated five times between 1937 and 1948, including the first-ever nomination by the American Friends Service Committee, though he made the short list only twice, in 1937 and 1947. Decades later, the Nobel Committee publicly declared its regret for the omission, and admitted to deeply divided nationalistic opinion denying the award. Gandhi was nominated in 1948 but was assassinated before nominations closed. That year, the committee chose not to award the peace prize stating that "there was no suitable living candidate" and later research shows that the possibility of awarding the prize posthumously to Gandhi was discussed and that the reference to no suitable living candidate was to Gandhi. When the 14th Dalai Lama was awarded the Prize in 1989, the chairman of the committee said that this was "in part a tribute to the memory of Mahatma Gandhi.

When Gandhi did not receive Nobel Peace Prize, the Prize lost credibility.

Glad India and Japan are friends. Not because India Curry is delicious on short grain rice, but both countries have similar culture such as Buddhism, even though Japanese are not much religeious comparing Christian etc customs.

Once upon a time, England owned North America and India, Hong Kong and many more countries. It is nice Japan and India will be friendly country again, .
