Ennis, please.

You are an american citizen. Leave Indian affairs and behaviour for our criticism. if you may, please go ahead and post about Bush and his teams behaviour all you wish.

What benefit? let’s not be naive. As an indian citizen who has been here enough, I can easily see that it is only to court funds and donations that Obama has developed this new love for Sam Manekshaw. I am sure if he was asked the day before Mr. Manekshaw passed away, he would not have had a clue. Let’s not make it look like Obamais some kind of saviour who is more Indian than an actual Indian.

Your post would have been more classy had it not been for the dig about Indian politicians/govt. You have your own country to criticize. Till you are an Indian citizen, or are living in India, try to avoid criticizing India.

Oh, I have spoken against, however politely, one of the gods of sepiamutiny. let’s see how long it is before the dictatorial overzealous intern bans me guesses anyone?

He definitely commented on the India-US nuclear deal, saying that he was against it (and nuclear proliferation in general). So the fact that he’s just trying to ham up Indian votes – confirmed by name-dropping Preeta Bansal – a catch name in the up-and-coming educated Indian community for virtually any politician or social advocate – is a huge turn-off.

This is, of course, a problem with US politicians in general – there was only one ambassador to the ‘South Asia’ region til 1991, when the then-Ambassador recommended that each country get its own ambassador, considering how different the nations and their political sentiments were.

But coming back to the point – Obama definitely isn’t getting my vote by just sticking an Indian face on his campaign roster, and then going around promising to crush burgeoning Indo-US relations. It’s a pity Indians who are serving on Obama’s board – or raising money and publicity for him, like the Chatwals – don’t get that!

South Asia includes Bangladesh, right? Or is it only one nation? Careful sir! This is a South Asian blog! Please remember India had refused to get involved until repeatedly asked to help the starving and tormented Bangladeshis. No one was interested in dismembering Pakistan even though Pak portrays this event as such. No one in or from Pak remembers that it was the terrible treatment given by Pakistan to Bengali Muslims that created Bangladesh.

At least there was a Sikh…he’s more than a good enough rep for the Hindus. With your statement, you clearly define the word chutiya.

Chutiya is what any self-respecting sikh will call you, chatwala, for saying he is a hindu…..

Chutiya is what YOU are for taking my words out of context. I said he’s a good enough representative. Anyway, I know plenty of Sikhs who would strongly disagree with your statement.

skinny? I haven’t seen a skinny brown person since I myself put on a few pounds a couple of years ago.
