U.S, India, and ReligiousTolereance

    President Obama met up with Indian Prime Minister Narendra and Indiam President Pranab Mukherjee yesterday (Tuesday 27, 2015) to urge for religious tolerance and other social issues. The election of Hindu nationalist Modi has sparked fear among the country's Muslim minority. Modi was a PNG in Washington D.C for over a decade after communal riots in Gujarant killed 1000 people mostly Muslims in 2002. President Obama stated, "India will succeed so long as it is not splintered along lines of religious faith, along lines of anything, and is unifies as one nation."
