It seems our PM believes that who ever is the American president,people of India dearly love him.He earlier told the then American president George Bush that all of India deeply love him,which created controversy in India.
Now today it's being reported that Manmohan Singh told the current US president Barack Obama that "you are much loved and respected in India".
Ofcourse,Indians I suppose will surely be more fond of Obama than Bush,because of his personality and charisma and the interest he has generated the world over with his dynamic speeches and promises of change in US approach and policies towards the world.
Bush did sign the nuclear deal with India which will allow India to do nuclear business.But Bush presidency will be remembered more for his flawed policies in Iraq and his wrong strategies in Afganistan.It's a fact that the Muslim community the world over absolutely hated him and I don't think the opinion of Indian Muslims were different.
Surely the whole of India never loved him,not after he and his team blatantly lied to the world community about the presence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq,which was cited as the reason to attack Iraq(The so-called weapons of mass destruction were never found,because there existed no such thing in Iraq).
Now coming back to the topic of Dr.Manmohan Singh praising Obama,it's too early.Obama just started.No one knows for certain what his policies will be.So let's wait.As far as our PM is concerned,it's better if he stops this "India loves you" theme music.The basic question is,was a poll conducted in India? How can Manmohan Singh say India loves so and so,what's the evidence of that love? Sure,in diplomacy sweet words are needed,but to say repeatedly to world leaders that "India loves you",is absurd..
