I am surprised at the double standards that is prevalent, not amongst the Western Countries alone, but even amongst the Indians.
Foreign nations are quick to point fingers at India and even tick of Indian PM publicly (as France did on an assumed isolated attack on Churches), or hang us to dry on minority bashing at the first rare instance. But we have not heard one peep from anyone of substance when Indian students were attacked recently in Australia. The tom toming was that whole Australia is not racist, but these are isolated instances, though everyone knows that Australia is one of the most racist of countries and have a poor track record in this matter. Now even the Indians in Australia, instead of taking the Australian Government for task, have been soft pedalling asking everyone to give more time to the Australians to sort the issue out. What noble sentiments!! This when a few of the students are just out of ICU, having been brutally beaten by racist thugs.
Both Pakistan and Bangladesh has been systemmatically eliminating Hindus over the decades and no one raises their voice in support of this minority. Tamilians in Malaysia are facing the brunt now. But then we have our own Kashmiri pundits who have been driven out of J&K as part of ethnic cleansing and our Governments turn a nelson eye to it.
What is sauce for the goose is definitely not sauce for the gander
Even the United Nations is not immune to it. Srilankan Tamils dying is no great shakes. It is not genocide nor is it a war crime. There is a report that Ban Ki Moon knew about the high casuality numbers PRIOR to his visit to Srilanka, but kept quiet and feigned ignorance. There has been no condemnation from UN as has been the case with Sudan or any other country. After all, who bothers about a few thousand innocent tamilians?
