It's disappointing to see twice the coverage on anti-India terrorism

compared to coverage of the swearing in of India's new prime

minister. Despite 100,000 citizens killed by terrorists, India has

maintained its democracy. That's a story worthy of coverage.

 

Sonia Gandhi didn't decline the PM post; it was denied her by

President Kalam, the constitutional leader of India's government. As

an Italian, she is bound by certain reciprocal rules. Indians in

Italy can't be elected to any post. Hinduism is not legally

recognized in Italy. It's quite arrogant of Sonia to lead a nation

with 800 million Hindus and not lift a finger for Hinduism in Italy.

 

With no leadership experience, she represents everything freedom-

loving Indians have fought against -- 800 years of foreign rule,

Abrahamic Conversionists, non-democratic dy- nastic rule and

unequivocal support of extremist Marxist and Islamic groups. To many

Indians, Sonia in charge would be like re-instating apartheid in

South Africa.
