I'm not a BJP or Hindutva follower. Neither do I have any respect for Mr. Modi, who had failed to quell the Gujarat riots during his rule. But I'm and Indian who believes in democracy and respects the verdict of the Gujarati people who elected Mr. Modi to lead their prosperous state despite what happened during his previous government. For this alone he needs to be considered a leader of the mass and his being the head of a state government whould grant him the courtesies of a dignitary.
If America does not change their decision about the denial of visa to Mr. Modi, I think the Indian Government should return the favours in the same coin by denying Mr. Bush a visa for his impending visit to our country. There are reasons galore to deny him the visa. The most cruel and inhuman treatment of the Iraqi people alone would make him eligible for the denial of visa to any country for his whole life.
Let India show the Americans and the world what we feel about the U S atrocities committed on the Iraqis and Afghans.
