Ratan:
And not allowing Indian scientists to attend meetings in the US when they didnt even stop Russian scientists form these meetings (oh yeah whites again) during the height of cold war.

This eviction of Indian scientists from USA is not unlike the situation created for the long-suffering children in the fight between the divorced parents. What sin have the scientists committed?

I am also reminded of the bad old days in America, when a slave, if caught with a book, was severely punished for just wanting to learn. Clinton himself, having come from a deprived family, had all the opportunity that this country could offer for his education, rose to where he is, but could not understand the anguish that the Indian scientists are going through, because their books were snatched from their hands and they were evicted from their "schools". How is this different from Wallace standing in front of the college preventing blacks from entering the college? What a paradox? What a retrograde policy? I want to see a turnaround in this punitive policy.
