Mann ki Baat: Going to tell my daughters that India is magnificent, said Obama - Video
President Obama urged support for religious tolerance and human rights in a speech Tuesday in New Delhi, drawing on the American experience and his own personal ones to soften a message with the potential to give offense to his Indian hosts, especially Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
American society isnt immune from intolerance and violence, Obama said, recalling the 2012 attack on Sikh worshipers at a temple in Wisconsin as an example of the darkest impulses of man.
In his own life, the president said, his Christian faith has been questioned by people who dont know me, a reference to lingering suspicions among some about his Islamic heritage on his fathers side.
Every person has the right to practice their faith how they choose, he said, or to practice no faith at all, and to do so free from persecution and fear.
The speech was the first Obama has delivered on his three-day trip to India without Modi at his side. The two leaders have displayed a concerted effort this week to emphasize the shared interests of their countries and the personal amity between the two of them, and Obama had not previously raised his concerns about human rights in a direct and public way.
But his final set of remarks on the way out of the country came as reformists are hoping Modi will mute the divisive agenda of his militant Hindu-nationalist supporters and turn the countrys attention more squarely to economic reform.
Hindu militants have recently run campaigns of mass conversion to bribe or force Muslims and Christians to change their religion, including in Modis home state of Gujarat.
Though Indian courts found no evidence of Modis involvement in deadly religious rioting there when he was the states the top elected official, Muslims and Christians are still wary of his right-wing party.
Modis Bharatiya Janata Party grew out of a right-wing Hindu nationalist movement, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, whose leaders believe that India is a fundamentally Hindu nation. The South Asian nations 1.2 billion people are 78% Hindu, with Muslims making up the largest religious minority at 14%, according to 2011 census figures.
In recent months, the RSS, for which Modi worked as a volunteer before entering politics, has announced mass camps to reconvert Muslims and Christians to Hinduism, claiming their forefathers were forced to change their religions. Hindu fundamentalists also have accused Muslims of marrying Hindu girls for the sole purpose of converting them to Islam, a practice dubbed love jihad.
