The Indian Air Force came in for a surprise today as the Nobel Foundation in
Sweden nominated the Mig 21 for the Peace Prize in 2012, shortly after
announcing Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Leymah Gbowee and Tawakkul Karman as
winners for 2011. In a press release, the Nobel Foundation states “We would
like
to appreciate the role of the IAF Mig-21 which is the most prominent
aircraft to reject the notion of war by deciding to crash in entirety before
any conflict arises, thus saving thousands of innocent lives. Unlike Barack
Obama who was given the prize despite being at war with two countries, the
Mig 21 is only at war with its inability to survive a flight.”
Indian defence analysts however were not amused. “This seems like an
attempt by the Scandinavians to mock the equipment levels of the Indian Air
Force. They are probably still peeved that the SAAB Gripen got rejected by
the IAF for the 126 MMRCA fighter contract, and they’re using the Nobel
Foundation as a front to publicly humiliate us. If they really had to award
an Indian institution why not the DRDO which till date hasn’t made a
defence product that works? Or why not Narendra Modi, whose fans would have
you believe that the recently concluded Sadbhavna yatra is the biggest thing
since the Dandi March?”
Left wing groups have called the announcement an imperialist conspiracy to
destabalise India. Rita Menon, a prominent social activist who issues a lot
of press releases that media houses throw in the trashcan without even
looking said, “This is nothing but a technique for Scandinavians to
penetrate the burgeoning Indian market like the white people who wanted to
organize Miss World in 2006. India hasn’t given a shit about the Peace
Prize ever since Gandhi didn’t get one. Mark my words, in five years they
will get desperate and nominate Aamir Khan for building inter-faith peace
and harmony”.
