Seems that former President of India Abdul Kalam was physically searched while boarding a Continental Airline flight to the US including taking of his shoes. Righteous indignation pouring out. But why? The US has no concept of VIP or VVIP wherein elected criminals are protected by elite commandoes and allowed to flout all rules with scant thought. In Delhi, our capital city, the roads around the US embassy are restricted for Indians. If stop walking the embassy security will ask you to move on and if you argue that the road belongs to us Indians the Delhi Police will beat you up. Many thousands of Indians have died to terrorists but can we restrict Americans around our embassy in Washington? When our Prime Minister visits the US he does not merit any mention in their newpapers but Hillary Clinton was all over our newspapers and television news channels with politicians and kleptocrats competing with each other to be photographed with her. A leading english daily of yesterday has her on pages one, twice on page 7 and once on page 11. Americans know that India is a nation of chamchas led by criminals and boot lickers. After all their companies are paying huge bribes and must have proofs so they can do what they like. Finally it was the last Congress led government which refused a second term to Mr. Kalam. The Americans know that too.
