Full of prejudices
by Reeva Patel on Jul 14, 2008 10:38 PM

I find the article full of prejudices starting from very first line. In each and every election, a community gets divided and that is the true color of democracy. This is natural process of election.

Like author, some Indians and Indian Americans insist that the Democrats are a lot better for India than Republicans. This is a myth. Either of them have national interest first (there is nothing wrong in having so) but going back to recent history:
-      Only trade senctions slapped on India in past 25 year was in 1998 (when Democrats were ruling) after the nuclear tests
-      Clinton administration have sold maximum arms to Pakistan in history
-      India-US trade has flourished three fold after George Bush took charge. A stark contrast
-      Clinton kept on pushing CTBT and NPT while Bush has scrapped that plan and has offered Nuclear Deal
-      State of NJ (a democratic governer) was the first that banned outsourcing service for government bodies.
-      In past Hillary Clinton and Obama have uttered that they are against outsourcing
-      Bunch of Democrats simply hates India: Barbara Crossette, Madeleine Albright, and Christina Rocca and Robin Raphel are all democrats. To cut short, check their history and doings to India.

So dear Indian Americans, I do not have any dislikes for Obama but please do not just vote for Democrats thinking that they are good for India, in general. It is completely the opposite.
