India beacon of hope for people around the world: Obama

[trident2010]

U.S. President Barack Obama sent his congratulations to all who will celebrate the 63rd anniversary of India’s Independence this weekend and said, “Indians around the world can not only look back on their history with pride, but can also look ahead to a future filled with hope and further progress.”

Speaking on behalf of his entire administration and the American people Mr. Obama noted that ever since August 15, 1947, India’s non-violent struggle for freedom, its rejection of terrorism and extremism, and its belief in democracy, tolerance, and the rule of law had been an inspiration and beacon of hope for people around the world.

Underscoring the profound effect of India’s example on many countries, including the United States he said that leaders of the civil rights movement here, including Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., had spoke of the debt they owed to Mahatma Gandhi and the over two million Indian-Americans were living examples of the bonds that bound India and the U.S.. The President added that the accomplishments of the Indian-American community “have become well-known and admired in both countries.”

Touching upon the ongoing Strategic Dialogue between the two countries, which is expected to get a fillip from the President’s visit to India later this year he said, “The strategic partnership between our countries will continue to grow, and I am looking forward to my November visit to India.”

Reiterating the words he had used to describe the relationship during Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s state visit last year, Mr. Obama said,” Our goal is to make this one of the defining partnerships of the 21st century.”

good to see people are awake. Whenever the US congratulates someone, they have hidden plans.

I don't think so, I think it is the effects of this kind of articles is what they want, which can undermine some peoples mind, when there is a comparison of another which they can use to portray.

Then Americans would claim the dog is a secret Muslim and born in Kenya. Americans aren't happy whatever president is in power, it isn't really the president that is the problem but their institution and party structure...

The presidency only give the appearance of change and reform while there's very little headway even a popular president can make against entrenched political and business interest.

Obama should worry about the US continuing to be a beacon of hope for people around the world. Currently it is a beacon for war and terror babies. Obama himself was born in Africa, technically his nonsense doesn't even count. He's just after cheap Indian labour.

Well perhaps it is an idiotic rumor. The important part is that millions believe it.
