I’ve asked about it too. Many Indian Hindus are proud of the religious tolerance and diversity in their country, but also think Americans lack an understanding of the Muslim issue there.
And they still have a view that however good the free market is for increasing wealth, much needs to be done for the poor. I take this to be because they have seen such poverty, as well as due to the political history and mix in which they were raised.
Muslims wreak violence there on a regular basis, and have never stayed within the lines drawn by partition, but continually try to overtake the Hindu areas. What's not to understand? Do they think our president can do a better job than they have?
