Why in case of Saudi? In your whole post this is the only sensible part.
I'll tell you why...
Saudi is the centre of the Islamic world. Their most holiest sites are in mecca and medina. So to offer them respect it may have been done.
we have a huge Muslim population and I suppose you know to what lengths most political parties go.
Also it might have been done to build good rapport and for better functioning of our diplomatic missions. There could be many reasons.
Of all these 7 decades, apart from Congress, Janata Dal, BJP, Janata party & Samajwadi Janata party, all these 5 different parties with different ideologies sending Muslim only ambassador to Saudi? They did not have independent thinking of their own?
India has 14% Muslims, Singapore has 16% Muslims, Per capita, Singapore beats India (as for as the Muslim population concentration exists) why is Singapore not sending Muslim only ambassador?
Now to continue upon your awkward award obfuscation:
As for the award, The civilian award went to Modi and not GOI.
If you know how Saudis work, they give gifts/awards to keep dignitaries & diplomats happy. This is how they buy influence.
Modi/BJP conferred Padma Vibhushan award on the most corrupt Sharad Pawar, does it mean that Sharad Pawar is not corrupt?
Similarly, Teesta Setalvad got Padma shri award, Nuremberg International human rights award & Pax Christi International Peace Award too from Australia...Does it mean that she is clean and worthy recipients of these awards?
So your attempt to suppress the dialogue through this award detour does not work as you intended.
I have given you the source in the form of book, and you deny it.
The problem lies within you, not me.
The newspaper article is okey, and somebody speaks on radio is okey and it is proof enough to start an investigation, but the book is not? Hello!!!!
I have to believe the angry Hindu activist, historian, scholar & an author, one who has penned few books, but certainly not you, who is nobody.
What is your credibility?
Who are you, for me to take your word.
Just a keyboard tiger defending Modi/India day in day out.
And you can not attack me on the same lines, why? because the book stands between you and me. Its an independent primary source.
I understand that you do not like this humiliating situation for India, the only country under such Saudi diktat. But the facts remain facts, irrespective of your (futile) rantings to save Modi's face by doing some circus in various forums to defend Bharatmata with flimsy pretexts.
You have no case. Your dialogue has fallen flat on your face sans adequate substantiation & reasoning.
The odds stand against you.
And they keep piling up, every time you come up with new theories & stories.
