Congratulations on the awards and yo...Hi Abhay <br /><br />Congratulations on the awards and your recognition as per the previous posts. <br /><br />I am pleased to see a visit such as this of Barack and Michelle Obama has left India gladdened which has brought the respective nations closer together. <br />It is good to recognize the life and teachings of Gandhi and to share his message of peace, tolerance and love. I agree that after more than 60 years of his passing (away), his light continues to inspire the world. But for Mahatma Gandhi, any triumphs must also be sorely tempered with the reality over the violent partitioning of your country into India and Pakistan when maybe up to one million people died in rioting between Hindus and Muslims. Although against it at first Gandhi urged the Congress Party to accept the partition. <br />President Obama’s great oratory skills cannot be denied but he has also been disappointing as a leader at home with very mixed outcomes and an inability to translate grand oratory into hardnosed progress on a number of fronts. True, he has had to deal with many obstacles. But in my view much needed reform measures have been both slow in coming and lacking in detail. <br /><br />Best wisheslindsaylobehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16774918551798647046noreply@blogger.com
