What the Indians think about the Clinton scandal-Poll from India Today.
Your ref:
india-today.com


I see that the Indian public opinion is harsher to the Indian Prime Minister than to Clinton under presumed similar circumstances. They seem to have double standards, one for Indians and one for foreigners. They are more forgiving to foreigners than to their own kind. What did you think?
POLL
Clinton Resignation: For and Against 43--54
Vajpayee Resignation: for and Against 64--33
Poor Vajpayee: He is not even married and not at all in the game for him to be judged on something, we all assume he never had any experience. Am I naive? Is Vajpayee a typical Indian true-to-life BRAHMACHARI? GOK God (and he) only knows.

Could this be an Indian perception of Americans as sexually profligate and a view that somehow Indian standards don't apply to foreigners. Sexual repression is part of Indian psyche esp before marriage.
