Times of India: Nehru University Students Nail it about Bush—Devastati...
Advertisements [?]


Look at this. These students are on target in their analysis. This is the visit of an American President to a country that has many expatriates living successfully in America! In my area, the Indian community is doing so well there is a large “Indian CEO” organization. Clinton was very well received in India. Looks like Bush is laying a big fat egg. Well, what did we expect afterall.

JNU (Nehru University) students to protest against Bush's visit

“We think a responsible democracy like India should not forge any major ties with the US, and we will tell Bush to have a re-look at his own policy of terror," Tripathy said.

“The country (US) and its leaders are involved in destructive activities all over the world and this visit to India is filled with vested interests of the US. The proposed nuclear collaboration (with India) is just a step in that direction," Aggarwal said.

"What kind of democracy can India promote with US? Can we go with a country that is taking people to another country and torturing them in some military cantonments? Do we need to support such a democracy that is involved in destructing nations and killing innocent civilians?" he said in a post-dinner speech in a JNU hostel.


From this, Clinton 2000, to this, Bush reception committee, 2006. From trust and respect to open defiance. What a difference a foreign policy makes.
