It takes a US politician to wake up the so called secular politicians in India...They didn't even want to offer condolences lest they offend the minority community.

See this kind of statement is worrying. If a man suddenly discovers Manekshaw before elections, he is easily prone to dump Gandhi / India after elections.
I had some ideas that Obama was not a typical politician. Now he is all the same.
