Obviously you have not heard of Freedom of expression!!!. I do not see any reason why anyone (George Bush or King Saud) should be forced to pay homage at a Samadhi if he did not want to and are not comfortable with the ritual to blend with their beliefs. By the same token I would stand by any Indian official who would refuse to pay homage to something that is alien to him. Everyone should have the guts to stand up to what they believe in. If they do not mind of course it does not matter as several foreign dignitaries have done to date but no one should insist that someone do something that is alien to them.
Much is said about the barbaric state of Saudi Arabia. There is no doubt in anyones mind about their medieval behaviour and mind set. What is distressing is the columnists foolish covert suggestion that we of a Great nation should stoop down to follow their example!!!
