Indian Democrats & Muslims & Communists Greet Bush

In a historic visit to India, President Bush signed a nuclear agreement with the billion member democracy to share nuclear reactors, fuel and expertise with this energy-starved nation in return for its acceptance of international safeguards and hailed trade relations.

Not every Indian, though, was happy to see the US Leader…

Not impressed with free trade agreements, Indian communists found a unique way to welcome the American President to their homeland.

Bush hailed the US and India as global leaders. His address to the nation was broadcast across India.

A protest against the visit to India by Bush turned into a clash Friday between Hindus and Muslims that left one person dead and 12 injured in Lucknow, India, after violence erupted during a demonstration against U.S. President George W. Bush, on Friday, March 3, 2006.

Chanting ‘Bush hands off India’ and ‘Bush go home,’ several hundred communist and Muslim demonstrators marched through the city, and shops in the Muslim-dominated Charminar neighborhood were closed in protest.
