This was an interesting discussion...couple of conclusions to be drawn...
1. Objective of my post was to draw the distinction between how foreign govt. takes effort to free their citizens in foreign Jails and the apathy shown by Indian govt. (policies dawn by 60 years of congress rule) to Indian citizens in foreign jails. India has the largest number of jailed citizens abroad.
2. Congress supporters were more interested in discussing about Italians, thus showing the same apathy to the general Indians that the Ruling Elites display. Non congress supporters too did not show too much enthusiasm about discussing Jailed Indians in foreign jails even though a Large chunk of jailed Indians are 'Malayalees' and most active posts were from 'Malayalees' too.
3. Italy is successfully fighting for their marines by using their soft power of the church to soften public sentiment especially among the christian's and put pressure on GoI to go soft on the case.
4. Church has acted as emissaries of the Italian govt. and have appropriated some of the role of the govt. and judiciary. This is considered as a good thing by christian Indians in pdf.
5. Kerala Christians in pdf has demonstrated loyalty to their church rather than to their fellow christian victim. Church has demonstrated its loyalty to Vatican. Secular hindus just have to live with this duality if they want to get on with their lives. People who object to this is communal.
6. Congress Govt. has no qualms about placing India in a position to depend on the 'goodwill' of Italians to return back their citizens and do not care about the message it sends to the rest of the world about the value of Indian lives.
Your conclusion only, do not try to generalize, because if you do...you will be opening pandoras box of Hindus.
