Some people have praised him for speaking out [against](https://www.mindstick.com/news/2526/resolution-against-anti-satellite-tests-adopted-by-un-to-reduce-space-debris) what they see as a growing problem of religious intolerance in India. Others have criticized him for being hypocritical, given that the United States has also been accused of [human rights abuses.](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/81567/what-if-my-personal-rights-are-violated) In an [interview](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/329061/video-interviews-a-viable-tool-to-take-on-large-recruitments) with CNN, Obama said that he would raise the issue of the "[protection](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/301143/how-to-wear-knee-braces-for-the-best-protection) of the Muslim minority in a [majority-Hindu India](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/83299/which-is-the-fastest-growing-religion-in-india)" during his meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He said that without such protection, there was "a strong possibility that India at some point starts pulling apart." ![What are your remarks on Barack Obama’s recent allegations on India?](https://answers.mindstick.com/QuestionAnswer/17bed599-c055-48ed-ae49-7117bfd2da9f/images/549eeee3-f35a-4f38-b780-f9eb79980168.jpg) Obama's [comments](https://www.mindstick.com/interview/103/what-s-the-difference-between-comments-comments-and-comments) have been welcomed by some human rights groups, who have accused the Modi [government](https://www.mindstick.com/news/1911/upi-transaction-would-cost-zero-service-charges-clarifies-government) of failing to protect the rights of Muslims and other religious minorities. However, the Indian government has rejected Obama's allegations, saying that it treats all citizens equally. The issue of religious intolerance in India is a complex one. There have been a number of high-[profile](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/225/profile-in-asp-dot-net) incidents of violence against Muslims in recent years, and there is a growing sense among some Muslims that they are being marginalized by the Hindu majority. However, it is important to note that India is a diverse [country](https://www.mindstick.com/news/2337/vikram-s-the-country-s-first-privately-developed-rocket-will-launch-on-november-15) with a long [history](https://www.mindstick.com/news/2422/in-testing-on-windows-the-whatsapp-desktop-call-history-tab-was-discovered) of religious tolerance. The vast majority of Indians do not support violence against religious minorities, and the Indian government has taken steps to address the issue. It is too early to say what impact Obama's comments will have. However, they have certainly put the issue of religious intolerance in India under the spotlight. It will be interesting to see how the Indian government responds to Obama's concerns, and whether it takes any steps to address the issue. Personally, I believe that Obama's comments were well-intentioned. He is a respected figure in the world, and his words carry weight. I hope that his comments will help to raise awareness of the issue of religious intolerance in India, and that they will lead to positive change. --- Original Source: https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/100113/what-are-your-remarks-on-barack-obama-s-recent-allegations-on-india Copyright © MindStick Software Pvt.
