Obama's Speech
by Manas Sen on Nov 08, 2010 07:24 PM

I liked what President Obama said. as the President of the US of A he has to take a balanced yet pragmatic view of the world. This is what he has done. We cannot and should not expect a plethora of agreements from this visit. That's how the international relationships are not conducted. Agreements are concluded after a long period of negotiations where the parties involved evaluate the effects of the same on their own countries and to the international community at large. I am particularly happy about his strong defense of democratic and pluralistic societies. This is of particular relevance for India as many divisive forces within the country are flexing their muscles to destroy our cherished heritage of free and multiparty democracy.

An inspiring and motivating speech, covering the aspects expected by India, by an effective orator. Thanks to Rediff for providing the transcript. I would appreciate that Rediff provides the 'summing up' transcript by our Lok Sabha Speaker, which was equally effective, to the point and clarity to the core. Excellent Job done, Honourable Lok Sabha Speaker.

Obama said "From the majesty of Humayun's Tomb......".It seems like late Rajiv, Obama too was brain washed to say that Indian history is Islamic history !!He does not know anything about ancient Indian pre-islamic and British rule,history.He utters Mahatma Gandhi but USA supplies arms to Pakistan and other nations.What kind of ashimsa is he talking about ?

true...why should Indian visitors be shown graves ..that too of the invaders who looted India?

Indian culture predates these foreign cultures that came in 8th century AD by several eons...when the guys in saudi and mid east were still barbarians

ALLOW EXTRADITION OF HEADLEY TO INDIA
by jibanendra mahanty on Nov 08, 2010 07:11 PM  | Hide replies

Obama in his speech said that all those involved in 26/11 Mumbai terrorist attack must be brought to justice.
If he is true to his words, he should allow extradition of David Headley, one of the Master-minds of Mumbai attack, to India to face the trial.
If he does not, then his ( Obama's) words carry NO sense,and he should be ticked off as an Ordinary person.

OBAMA IN PARLIAMENT
by Rameshwar dad on Nov 08, 2010 07:09 PM  | Hide replies

US president is clearly given a message about the vision of US. He recognising power of India at the same time he show clearly that if you give something to us take something from us. Fight your war wih your weapons only. We will provide you moral support. Be a self depended countary we should not depend on any one and plan to fight our self for our protection. Moral support of world and US is quite sufficient for us to keep us safe & secure.
