Sorry to offend your sentiments, but I guess it is you who values western sentiments more than I do. Otherwise why would people keep on harping about the fact that Mr.Singh did his PhD at Oxford. So do many more, and most of them aren't quite geniuses. Also do remember that the head of the Congress Party is an Italian. And it is the intellectuals of the US who condemn Bush, the self absorbed public is precisely why he got a 2nd term.
