This is as contrived and bizarre an argument about the current U.S. policy
towards India as the previous one in this thread, which it is addressing.
Any objective person would note that India is a stable secular democratic
republic headed by a centrist Government comprising the Indian National
Congress party. This is in contrast to China, which is a communist autocracy
and Pakistan, which is a failed unstable Islamic republic. The Hindu hardliners
were roundly and soundly defeated in the last two national elections, and the
majority of the voting population has never subscribed to their theocratic
nationalism.
The president of the U.S. is elected to defend the interests of his own
country. He has no obligation to promote the interests of any other country.
Cheers,
Santosh
