March 19th
there is a long history of us genocidal tactics in various places.
what i can remember off the top of my head:
1. the genocide of the native american in the 19th century
2. the use of the atomic bomb in hiroshima and nagasaki
3. the use of napalm and agent orange in vietnam
4. the killing of 500,000 iraqi children (virtually wiping out an entire generation) in ten years of absurd sanctions which denied medicines and other essentials
5. the use of depleted uranium in afghanistan and iraq

and let's get this straight: these americans are the ones who are sitting in judgment on others? boggles the imagination.

The world seems to be quiet on the human rights record of US and UK. Has the Queen ever apologised for the human rights record in the name of colonolization. Has
US been questioned in its quest for democracy around the world. A big human rights voice is raised on Modi's visit to USA. I guess if one is powerful then any amount of violations are unquestionable. A good reason why Indians should unite, stop quoting secularism, and get our act together and become powerful. Then who will dare question us?
Dear ACD,
Its true the attitude of secularists has been worse. And the attitude of IE and TOI is not surprising. The fact is that there is a multi dimensional foe operating, and that US is supporting these secularists add more to the dimensions thats all. So who do we fight? At this moment the diplomatic means is the only feasible option. Are we going to fight the marxists and mccaulayan intellectuals, the missionaries and the like? These Indians go abroad and spread lies about india. We have to fight them, but that is a long fight. So whatever the chance to fight any of these axes, i think we should use it.
