Indian Prime Minister, Mr. Manmohan Singh is the first foreign politician to be given a state welcome by the Obama White House and he seems to be loving all the pomp and ceremony. However, Mr. Singh should remember that Mr. Obama is a lawyer from Harvard and could persuasively argue that black is white or that the sun rotates round the earth. Mr. Obama is a polished rabble rouser having talked his way into the White House when a complete unknown. His sonorous voice, flowery phrases and lofty ideas combined with the ' grace and charm ' of the First Lady may dull a man's senses and make him susceptible to mistakes especially a former bureaucrat selected as prime minister and used to ' jee hazoor.' The Congress party has betrayed India on numerous occasions including handing a UN Security Council seat to China, acknowledging Tibet as a part of China and the Shimla accord. While not grudging him all the tasty morsels he is plied with it is with enormous worry I would request the Prime Minister not to repeat the sharam of Sharm Al Sheik.
