>What does democracy have to do with racism? Can't a raging racist >country be a a terrific democracy too?
The US DOS has a brief article on Democracy (http://usinfo.state.gov/products/pubs/whatsdem/whatdm2.htm) . As we see, one of the pillar is Minority rights. So how a raging racist country can be a terrific democracy ? Probably you tried to explain it in your other mail (quoted below) >>*** A people can elect thugs, racists and megalomaniacs to represent them. Does not the Congress party or the BJP condone criminals among them as a necessary part of their 'democratic' ways? --- So you think India is a "terrific democracy"? Thank you for admitting it . _______________________________________________ assam mailing list [email protected] http://assamnet.org/mailman/listinfo/assam_assamnet.org
