Skepticism
by NdnMan on Jun 30, 2008 05:47 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

This article doesn't make a lot of sense. Many Indian Americans would support Obama for policies, but other than the few nut-job religious fanatics in New York, the Hanuman thing probably would make little difference to most Indian Americans who, if they are religious, don't let it blindly control their politics like Indians do in India. Additionally, Non-Hindu Indians, though not the majority, are significantly larger portions of the Indian-American population than they are in the Indian population.

Had he refused the Hanuman idol, it may have offended Hindus and moved them to McCain camp. Obama ka kyaa jaata hai hanumanjee kaa idol accept karne se?

Naw- I would not be offended. No simple-minded folks among Hindus.
