#1 The Communist Party has ruled Indian West Bengal for decades. Their capital Calcutta is a shining monument to their rule.

#3 Geezus, don't the Indians have military-only facilities?

Can't have demonstrators on the property if the facility is closed to civilians.

#4 The Indian Air Force choose the location badly. They considered technical Air Base parameters without the necessary political view.

The reflexive anti-US outlook of the Bengali communists should have ruled out Bengal.

The Indian communists are true believers. Believe it or not, their motto was "China's chairman is our chairman". Their orders come straight from Beijing. After the recent Japan-China flap, Japanese companies began looking at diversifying their manufacturing base away from China. The communist chief returned from Beijing and organized violent demonstrations to shut down the operations of Japanese companies in India.
