>
> Indian Americans are deeply disturbed and shocked at the forceful
> eviction/arrest of Baba Ram Dev and attack by 5000 policemen on thousands
> of peaceful Indian citizens in Delhi . They consider it a dangerous attack
> on democratic setup in India .
>
> Baba Ramdev’s intent behind this movement is to bring back approximately 9
> trillion dollars stolen from poor Indians and stashed in foreign countries;
> and he is determined to reverse this awful trajectory.
>
> The petulant arguments advanced by the corrupt Government for its diabolical
> action against peaceful volunteers that Baba Ram Dev’s campaign against
> corruption would have caused a law and order problem does not hold water,
> and is an insidious attempt to cover up its hidden agenda to crush the
> movement.
>
> That thousands of people from all over India should respond to the call of
> Baba Ramdev for removal of corruption from India, and come to Delhi and
> fast, is symptomatic of a deeper malice afflicting 1.2 billion Indians.
>
> Baba Ramdev’s allegation that there was a sinister conspiracy to kill him
> has to be investigated by the Central Bureau of Investigation. The reign
> of repression let lose against thousands of peaceful men, women and children
> by 5,000 Delhi policemen should be vehemently condemned with the contempt it
> deserves. It is a naked fascism as practiced by dictators in Middle Eastern
> countries.
>
> Recently, India ’s home minister, P. Chidambaram, said that more than 900
> people, including almost 600 civilians were killed in Maoist-related
> incidents in 2009.
