The article is inconsistent and it digressed half way through from 'insults to mahatma' to 'saudi royals are bad' . I beg the author to get a clear idea of what he wants to write on before writing this. The author says "the Indian press and the liberal elite have thus far given a free pass to this blatant insult to the memory of the Mahatma and to all Indians" - in relation to comments by president bush. Half way through he say's "The government ... for fawning over the Saudi ruler ... Should President Bush or Prime Minister Blair or even the Pope have dared to commit such an egregious folly, headlines would have blared in those Leftist organs about India's sovereignty and ancient history being trampled upon by ugly colonialists who still seek to subjugate India economically and culturally ..." Am I missing something?
Even if the article was consistent, Why blame people if they don't want to do something against their faith? I went to a christian family's house for lunch and did not eat anything because they had nothing without meat... Should that be interpreted as offensive behavior on my part by the host? Please put yourself in their place for a sec before writing such things.
