Good Day Prince Kumar,
This was a wonderful piece however with current events taken place across the political spectrum in South Africa the question of racism against Indians in South looms large. Including the unchallenged stance of one Juluis Malema who goes unchecked by the weak government under current puppet president.
Question:
What would be the Modi government stance should Indians be subject to the similar atrocities that were seen under the rule of one Idi Amin Dada ?
