In 1950s USA administration accused ethnic Chinese Qian Xuesen, a leading expert in rockets, a full professor at MIT (1947) and at CIT(1949) and a colonel at the U.S. Dept. of Defense, of communist sympathies, without presenting any evidence. He spent 5 years under house arrest in an effort to gradually make his technical knowledge obsolete. USA administration then sent him back to China in 1955. Upon his return, he helped greatly in making China a nuclear power. China exploded nuclear bomb in 1962. He was known in China as one of the fathers of nuclear bomb.

Nor held RSS responsible. My grandfather Late Ramdas Gandhi had written to the then Home Minister Sardar Patel ji to free Shri Nathuram Godse from death sentence. For your information, let me tell you that in 1969, when Ramdas Gandhi was giving up his life in Mumbai, Shri Nathuram Godse's younger brother Shri Gopal Godse met him. This issue is completely in the past.. and.. my family has moved on from it. My humble suggestion ...

On 20 March 2000, 35 Sikh minority villagers were lined up and massacred in a village Chattisinghpura in Musl!m majority J&K state. That time USA President Bill Clinton was touring India. Clearly, the objective was not just to create fear among the non-Musl!m minorities but also to give a message to whole world and internationalise Kashmir issue. Indian government blamed terr0r organisation operating across the country. Mohammad Suhail Malik, a nephew of Lashkar-e-Taiba co-founder Hafiz Muhammad Saeed, a UN designated terr0rist, confessed while in Indian custody to participating in the attacks at the direction of Lashkar-e-Taiba.
