World sees India as a growing Super Power:Obama

[Stereotypic]

World listens when India’s PM speaks, says Obama

When Prime Minister Manmohan Singh speaks, the world listens, said US President Barack Obama when the two met on the sidelines of the G-20 summit here on Sunday.

“The world listens attentively when you speak. You have a deep understanding of economic issues,” Obama told Singh. “India is emerging as a superpower and the world is fully aware of this reality,” he added.

Returning the compliment, Singh said: “You are a role model for millions all over the world. Yours is a life history that inspires millions of people.”

During the meeting, officials later revealed, India emphasized that Pakistan must rein in its terror groups and act on the evidence provided by David Headley in the 26/11 attacks.

India, however, did not raise the issue of extraditing Union Carbide CEO Warren Anderson to face trial in India for the Bhopal gas tragedy. Singh also referred to the internal challenges faced by the world’s largest democracy: “When you come to India, you will see for yourself how big a challenge it is to run the world’s largest democracy.”

Later, Singh met his Canadian counterpart Stephen Harper to sign a civil nuclear deal by which Canada agreed to supply uranium to India and cooperate in nuclear research. The step saw Canada lifting sanctions that had been in place for 36 years — since the first Pokhran test of 1974. Singh also sought a crackdown on Sikh militant groups active in Canada. Canada has a sizeable Sikh population

Of all the President's of US of A this is one i don't believe, not a single word of his. On all the promises he made to his own public before coming in to power how many has he fulfilled?? and for india he has been creating some kind of problems on one front or the other from the start of his term (read EPR issue and so on) so statements like these are just hollow words. We should be really careful about Obama in particular and statements like these from anyone in general. Statements like these if taken seriously will only make us complacent and unnecessarily proud.
