Dean Jones thinks Double Standard...

Buddy, your knowledge of Indian socio-politics comes across as flippant at best.

First of all you talk about the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi.....that happened SIXTY YEARS ago for Christ's sake...and technically he was not even a "Head Of State" at that time. And as Bitter says above, even Rajiv Gandhi was only an Opposition leader at the time of his killing.

You can spin your argument any way you want in order to escape from the back door, but the fact remains that those reponsible for the assasinations of Indian leaders bore no grudge against foreigners (Western World)......and that is what this thread is about.

I will reteirate - the Aussies may have the "dollars aspect" in mind when they agreed to tour India - but from a logical point of view, there is absolutely no doubt that the security situation in India for a *gora *foreigner is still way better than in Pak.
