The recent proposals of President Trump's of building a wall along the Mexico border and the blanket banning of citizens who are from seven countries listed as terrorists has caused worldwide concern forcing people to speak out against this inhuman and fascist decision, finally leading to a million and more people signing a petition to cancel President Trump's visit to England which is one of the world's earliest democracies.
Not only is it a morally repugnant decision it is also wrong as countries which have undertaken terrorists activities in the USA are not on the list as the people at the top in these countries provide oil to the USA and make the rich in the USA even richer! If Muslim countries buy US arms and armaments and allow US military bases it does not appear to be a problem at all and might even make for a romantic Hollywood love story of a Muslim woman falling madly in love with a Caucasian American. America, the bully, is once again trying to masquerade as the protector and fundamental pillar of human rights. Where does the Presidents's policy leave the migrants? We Indians, some of us at least, recall the war between East and West Pakistan which saw the birth of Bangla Desh. Whatever might have been the motive for Indira Gandhi's support, including the break up of Pakistan, we Indians can be proud for having given shelter to more than ten million refugees, Muslims from a predominantly Muslim nation. Is there a better example of Hindu tolerance? Hindus repeatedly say 'God is One' and on this occasion proved it by showing the world how God's children are of one family. We have walked the talk. Recently, however, a great number of critics of the Indian government emphasize how much we have forgotten this primal fact to the great loss of traditional Hindu values. President Trump, as are a few leaders around the world who have been voted to power through the democratic process, is drunk on power and brings great fear into the hearts of people all over the world, especially Germans who saw the rise of Adolf Hitler emerge to power in World War II. Are there other leaders today around the world who appear to be similar to President Donald Trump? Birds of a feather flock together is common parlance or in translation, 'tell me who your friends are and I'll tell you who you are.' People of goodwill and conscience are not sleeping as soundly recently, in today's world of Donald Trump and plentiful nuclear weapons. Mr Trump is a fanatic who is a great danger to the world. In his manic desire to achieve his end without any concern for the basic rights of human beings he needs to be reminded again and again how it is no other country in the world but the US of America which is numero uno in breaking immigration laws. It was the people from Europe and ancestors of Americans who went to the New World illegally and slaughtered the native indigenous people and took over their land in what is today the USA! The world has changed a lot since the time of Adolf Hitler. Today we have international treaties which are powerful and keep a balance of an easily tilting world from falling on its face. If President Trump is blind to this fact he will like Humpty Dumpty fall off the wall and break into a million pieces much to the relief of people all over the world.
