Already Obama came and made MMS to dance like a puppet in New Delhi.

His official spokesman treated his Indian counterpart like dirt.

In the pro-Congress/Sonia TV channel NDTV the host of a news program with guest of another pro-Sonia journalist Vir Singhvi remarked she saw many a high handedness of the US team towards Indian counterparts and even they treated some of the Indian minister like S#@t but she could not say the incidences on TV. But she remarked that she will tell Vir Singhvi during the commercial break. Hope Vir Singhvi would write a column on it.

The Gringos lead by Obama treated their Indian coolies like dirt and NOW comes this report.

Hope the Jai Ho brigade in this very website who went to town about Obama's visit India read and weep.

It is very clear that Republicans always have been better for India and we should realize now that Bush was far better for India than Mr.Failure.

US praises UPA govt for religious freedom, frowns on Hindutva
IANS, Nov 18, 2010, 12.40pm IST


The United States has given India's United Progressive Alliance (UPA) central government high marks on religious freedom but said some state and local governments imposed limits on this freedom. The UPA national government "generally respected, provided incentives for, and intervened to protect religious freedom," the State Department said in its annual report on international religious freedom released here Wednesday.

But "despite the national government's rejection of Hindutva (Hindu nationalism), a few state and local governments continued to be influenced by Hindutva," said the report released by secretary of state Hillary Clinton.

"Despite government efforts to foster communal harmony, some extremists continued to view ineffective investigation and prosecution of attacks on religious minorities as a signal that they could commit such violence with impunity," the report said.

There are active "anticonversion" laws in six of the 28 states: Gujarat, Orissa, Chhattisgarh, Arunachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Himachal Pradesh, it noted.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), and other affiliated organizations (collectively known as the Sangh Parivar) publicly claimed to respect and tolerate other religious groups, the report said.

"However, the RSS opposed coerced conversions from Hinduism and expressed the view that all citizens, regardless of their religious affiliation, should adhere to Hindu cultural values, which they claimed were the country's values."

The BJP did not actively push for the enactment of anti-conversion laws in all states, the construction of a Hindu temple on the disputed Ayodhya site, or the enactment of a uniform civil code during the reporting period, the report acknowledged.

"While there were no reports accusing the national government of committing abuses of religious freedom, human rights activists criticized it for alleged inaction regarding abuses committed by state and local authorities and private citizens," it said.

There was continued concern about the Gujarat government's failure to arrest those responsible for the communal violence in 2002 that killed over 1,200 persons, a majority of which were Muslim.

The report cited All India Christian Council as saying attacks on Christians occurred in the states of Orissa, Chhattisgarh, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, and Maharashtra.

The report - covering a period from July 1, 2009 to June 30, 2010 - found that respect for religious freedom deteriorated in Afghanistan and Iran while China and Indonesia earned mixed scorecards.

Now we will compare India to China. Indian Political leaders will mortgage their countries culture for their personal gain.

While Chinese don't give any consideration to the worlds views.

Vatican in new dispute with China
AP, Nov 18, 2010, 07.33pm IST
The Vatican is warning China that efforts at reconciliation will be set back if bishops loyal to the pope are forced to attend the ordination of a bishop in the state-backed church.

A strongly worded statement issued today said the Holy See was "disturbed by reports" that the bishops are being forced by government officials to attend the ordination in Chenhde, in northeastern Hebei, this weekend.

It said the Holy See would consider it as "grave violations of freedom of religion and freedom of conscience."

Worship is allowed only in state-backed churches, but millions of Chinese belong to unofficial congregations loyal to Rome.
