Letter to Dr. Karan Singh

June 22, 2009

Dear Sir,

Sub: US President Obama’s 4th June Address.

We take the liberty of intruding into your valuable time for a cause that, we feel, your goodself will appreciate.

US President Barak Obama’s speech at the Al Azhar University, Cairo, on 4th June 2009, has been held as historic. A copy of this speech, as available publicly, is attached for ready reference. While the primary objective of this speech looking for bringing in all round peace is appreciated, we failed to persuade ourselves to accept his extremely bipartisan effort to please the Muslim world and in the process totally ignoring India’s contribution and role if world peace is to be ensured. Even if this is a diplomatic move, one cannot, and we strongly feel, one must not, evade or ignore the truth. We, from the platform of the Patriots’ Forum (
www.patriotsforum.org), have therefore, lodged a protest of sorts. A copy of our “Open letter by an Indian to US President” is attached.

The Forum strongly feels you as the proud inheritor and flag-bearer of the Indian (read Hindu) civilization, could also consider taking up the issue formally from your esteemed organization (Indian Council for Cultural Relations - ICCR) in the manner thought fit.

Sir, we should be grateful to know that the matter has been taken up by you appropriately.

Kind regards,

Yours sincerely,

(D.C. Nath)
President, Patriots' Forum
