To all: Why has US not liked to befriend India? US has always preferred to have friendship with dictators in the third-world, ready to act to the tune of Americans: like Saddam Hussein, Zia-Ul-Haq, and Suharto. US never liked India because Indians never danced to the tune of American duplicitous orders. Top US policy makers have had a very low opinion of India, stemming from an unshakable opinion that India is a country of illiterate snake-charmers living in abject poverty in run-down rustic huts. Robert C. McFarlane was national security adviser to President Ronald Reagan from 1983 to 1985. search.nytimes.com Some excerpts: We must make clear to the Indian Government that it is today what it was two weeks ago, an arrogant, overreaching cabal that, by its devotion to the caste system, the political and economic disenfranchisement of its people and its religious intolerance, is unworthy of membership in any club. McFarlane is obviously one of the most illiterate individuals because he couldn't learn from history that Hindus are among the most tolerant of all religious groups; allowing India to be a country of all religions.
