USA has always supported good things like Secularism ,Democracy and Meritocracy , however their role has come under lot of doubts on many occassions when they have sided with wrong fellows... I agree that US is a secular and democratic country ,where meritocracy is given its due . I know meritorious people from India, Pakistan, middle east, Saudi Arabia, Syria ,Lebnon, Iran,Iraq , Japan ,China , Russia ....almost whole world , are recognised for their contributions based on merit in USA .
however,US has also played many diplomatic cards where they have sided with many rogue states as per their convenience and therefore their role in the world is based on their interest and which is unfair and are very bad. For example,US has always sided with Pakistan for last 50 years which is not a democracy( mostly a army rule) and supports terrorism ,whereas they have never supported India which is democracy. Only after 9/11,they have realised that India is also victim of terrorism and stopped funding Pakistan by giving billions of $ in arms. Pakistan itself is now ,of late trying to isolate the radicals and terrorists after facing threat themselves at home. Hence USA does not have a very clean record.
Here in India, Left is a hollow and psuedosecular. So is congress too!!! Good that left is championing the casue of minorities in India...
But see when Nasrin ,Bangldesh writer who is trying to highlight the atrocities committed by radicals in Bangadesh on minoritie
