The Gujarat riots and anti Sikh riots were bad enough. There are riots at many other places. But these were controlled. There is no justification in treating these as human rights violation attracting international action. This is a way to undermine our sovereignty. The western powers attempt from time to time undermine sovereignty of other countries by 'rewarding' and 'awarding' the mischievous and anarchist elements. The bogey of human rights is also a means to interfere with our sovereignty.


Whatever, but we have no courage to tell them that they should respect other countries. The US is used to behave that way and no one dares challenge them especially the one who is looking and dependent on them for every single matter. Countries having leaders caring for self respect retaliate and strangely enough US keeps activities limited to verbal only.

Ok. If some body challenges the country's sovereignty , the minimum the government can do is to say, 'its none of your business'. Rather it is maintaining 'Maun Vrat". Silence sends wrong messages and the invasions on our sovereignty will increase.

As long as the U.S. court does not send copy of summons to Govt. of India, there is no need to respond. It is for Sonia Gandhi to see what she will do. She may get some legal advice and act accordingly.

The press is ours. We can have control on the press. It should be strictly instructed that until and unless summons are received by Sonia such news should not be published. Press has a responsibility being the fourth estate of democracy. People go by the press reports and spread wrong messages.

Publication of news differs from taking cognizance by government. Issue of summons by a U.S. court to Sonia Gandhi is a news that press must not ignore. The embassy in U.S.A. would have also communicated to Govt. of India. RAW, our external intelligence agency would also have given the information. But govt. of India does not directly come in picture. Ball is in court of Sonia Gandhi. Govt. of India must act when there is appropriate occasion and necessity.

Sonia's position or place in the government when the news appeared in the press can't be ignored. She's the president of the ruling coalition which is in power at the moment when the news surfaced. Even it's the matter concerned to Sonia alone, its enough to create an uproar in the opposition. This will be utilised as a pretext and the valuable time of the parliament and will be lost in adjournments and suspensions. It should be born in mind that our people's representatives are not as educated as you are thinking. They don't think of the relevance of the news. They think in terms of cornering the government with some pretext or other.
Several times such things happened and there is no surety of such things not happening now.

Let the MPs discuss in parliament in the manner they think fit and the government will respond according to situation. However the govt. has to act only according to standard international norms. Sonia Gandhi as well as govt. know what to do in the circumstances.

That can never satisfy the adamant people's representatives nor can stop the disruptions of the parliament. Luckily the present parliament sessions are busy with missing files of coalgate. And if I'm not mistaken the issue of summons to sonia will come in the winter session of parliament. And the imminent disruptions.

But why should government of India interfere if Sonia is not part of government? it is duty of congress to protect its president. Or let Sonia deal with it on her own level. If our government come in support of Sonia, it will send wrong signals to international community. She is a brave lady, she can face it independently.

But presently she is the president of the congress which is the main party in the coalition UPA. But. please note that i did not say that the government should support her. The government should respond in a befitting manner. Another thing is that even a commoner who shields a criminal is treated as a criminal. One need not be in power.
But those things are not relevant for the present discussion.

Yes I agree when our citizens are out of our country facing problems, our embassies in those countries come for their rescue as it is their duty to do so. Also if a person is guilty of a crime, he is tried in his own country even if he committed a crime in foreign land like the US said in case of Union Carbide. But I don't see role of government of India anywhere in this particular case unless they come to arrest her forcefully.

Union Carbide had committed offence in India and hence they could be tried in India only. If an Indian citizen is guilty of committing an offence in another country, he is subject to jurisprudence of that country. But the alleged offence by Sonia Gandhi relates to anti Sikh riots in India to which U.S. courts have no jurisdiction. I agree that Govt. of India have no role presently but they must keep watch on events and take appropriate action when necessary.

Yes I agree and I am trying to think in those terms only. If they can refuse to hand over their citizens who were responsible for such big offense in our country, how can they ask for a foreign citizen for whatever they did in their own country. A clear case of Dadagiri to say the least.

Its also known as AmericaGiri. Its characteristic is, it thinks, entire world is filled with criminals. That's why they take the big responsibility of making the world a safe place to live.

If an Indian citizen is guilty of committing an offence in another country, he is subject to jurisprudence of that country. But the alleged offence by Sonia Gandhi relates to anti Sikh riots in India to which U.S. courts have no jurisdiction. I agree that Govt. of India have no role presently but they must keep watch on events and take appropriate action when necessary.


Yes I agree and I am trying to think in those terms only. If they can refuse to hand over their citizens who were responsible for such big offense in our country, how can they ask for a foreign citizen for whatever they did in their own country. A clear case of Dadagiri to say the least.


Its also known as AmericaGiri. Its characteristic is, it thinks, entire world is filled with criminals. That's why they take the big responsibility of making the world a safe place to live.


This what they call White man's burden. Sooner they get rid of this notion, the better for them. already they have challenge from emerging Asian powers. Their dadagiri will not last long.
To a great extent we are to blame for this.Most Asian countries have a wgite fixation which makes them feel superior and we tend to look up to them whether it is justified or not ! No wonder they think they are the best there is !

Exactly that attitude had made us slaves to a series of conquerers and we are yet to learn a lesson from that! I wonder what it is going to cost us in the future?

I must say most Asian countries which think in terms of "WHITE" only - look at China, Korea, Japan, many countries of the erstwhile USSR now in Asia, and even in Africa are neither dependent on the USA nor use English language for any of their mandatory purposes.
The Gujarat riots and anti Sikh riots were bad enough. There are riots at many other places. But these were controlled. There is no justification in treating these as human rights violation attracting international action. This is a way to undermine our sovereignty. The western powers attempt from time to time undermine sovereignty of other countries by 'rewarding' and 'awarding' the mischievous and anarchist elements. The bogey of human rights is also a means to interfere with our sovereignty.


Ok. If some body challenges the country's sovereignty , the minimum the government can do is to say, 'its none of your business'. Rather it is maintaining 'Maun Vrat". Silence sends wrong messages and the invasions on our sovereignty will increase.


As long as the U.S. court does not send copy of summons to Govt. of India, there is no need to respond. It is for Sonia Gandhi to see what she will do. She may get some legal advice and act accordingly.


The press is ours. We can have control on the press. It should be strictly instructed that until and unless summons are received by Sonia such news should not be published. Press has a responsibility being the fourth estate of democracy. People go by the press reports and spread wrong messages.


Publication of news differs from taking cognizance by government. Issue of summons by a U.S. court to Sonia Gandhi is a news that press must not ignore. The embassy in U.S.A. would have also communicated to Govt. of India. RAW, our external intelligence agency would also have given the information. But govt. of India does not directly come in picture. Ball is in court of Sonia Gandhi. Govt. of India must act when there is appropriate occasion and necessity.


But why should government of India interfere if Sonia is not part of government? it is duty of congress to protect its president. Or let Sonia deal with it on her own level. If our government come in support of Sonia, it will send wrong signals to international community. She is a brave lady, she can face it independently.


Presently, Govt. of India is not in picture. Sonia Gandhi has been issued with summons and she can deal according to legal advice. Govt. of India may step in when appropriate. Govt. protects rights of all citizens and not only govt. representatives. Even when our people are in trouble outside, our embassies and foreign affairs ministry give necessary help.


Yes I agree when our citizens are out of our country facing problems, our embassies in those countries come for their rescue as it is their duty to do so. Also if a person is guilty of a crime, he is tried in his own country even if he committed a crime in foreign land like the US said in case of Union Carbide. But I don't see role of government of India anywhere in this particular case unless they come to arrest her forcefully.

Certainly the days of Americangiri are numbered. Its already started showing. The coming days belong to Asian powers. Its better for the Big bro to realize this truth at the earliest.
