It is hard to digest some of the questions asked to him. How silly it is to ask him "Do you think India should put a man on the moon? Also, is it a good thing for India to have a Mars mission?"
When we have already progressed so far, why the hell should we ask for the opinion of these outsiders. If anyone closely observes the nature of answers here- they are pretty typical of every US diplomat/minister & beureocrat's answer regarding world issues. You need to read these interviews to learn TACT & DIPLOMACY. They are very careful in what they say & also they don't talk things out of their purview. And also this typical statement- "India is a great country & we hope to build a great relationship". Anyways our country is SMART enough to analyse all these & make the best out of it.
