RE:Cry India! She is crying...
by SChaudhuri on Mar 23, 2005 08:57 PM

Why you care about Modi's right to a visa! Do you even know why a visa is granted! A visa is not a right but people of India irrespective of their belief, origin, caste has the right to be protected by highest elected officials. Loss of innocent's life need not be accepted without delevering justice to ALL the people concerned. Democracy does not win if you shelter/justify actions of a person with enormous power to stop such injustice just because he's a Gujarati or part of your political/religious belief system. US has every right to deny Modi visa as we have the right to deny visa based on a well laid out principles. I objected to the generalizations made by Mr. Raman. He has not got the US side of the facts right. In fact, he needs to name the names of Indian American lobby who tried to pass this decision. All I am saying, as a logical person, you lay concreate facts before jumping to cheap but popular diatribe. He can be better than that with years of experience on how governments abroad works. If he thinks Indian lobby is this strong in US, he's dreaming! There's more to it which may include us not backing down from India-Iran pipeline, Condoleeza Rice's visit and other things
