I read the two articles by my friend Dr. Nripendra Sarkar. I don't want to make comments on every thing he has written. Just a few points:
1. First article: We really need broadness of mind to make a member of a minority (religious, ethnic, linguistic, etc.) community the topmost leader of our choice. Obama is an example. Many people do not support him just because he is a minority perceivably/actually at least in two senses. India is great in this respect. What about some other cases I can remember at this moment: Saddam (a Sunni who ruled a Shiite majority country), Jinnah (similar case as of Saddam, and Stalin who was from Georgia?) I am sure we will find more. How do these exceptions occur? Obviously broadness of mind alone cannot explain it totally. That's another story.
2. Second article: "Loving a country" is a pretty deluding term. I believe with utmost confidence that all immigrants love America. Conspirators are the exceptions who constitute a tiny fraction of the total immigrant population. Visitors are excluded from my discussion. Now Mr. X's and Mr. Y's love for America may not be of the same nature. Mr. X may be so overwhelmed with gratitude that he may find it immoral and unethical to find faults with any policies or actions. On the other hand Mr. Y will want to see his newly adopted country as a more beautiful country in all respects and that is why he may disagree on some policies and actions.
