United States of America, its president Barack Obama and its feminist Secretary of State consider themselves as true descendents of civil liberties movement, free speech and human rights across the world. Every year, United States of America gives big lectures on human rights conditions acrss countries around the world and publishes a dozen reports, which are quoted in media all over the world. Now, all that does not fit well when we hear the news that 18 year old daughter of a Indian Consular staff is arrested without proper investigation, is handcuffed in her school principal's office and it taken to a jail from the school. The policeman even threatened that he will handcuff her and put her in jail with prostutues and drug addicts, her in principal's office to extract a confession and handcuffed her when she insisted about her innocence. This is not an one off incident. There are regular encounter killings of people in that country. The police is so empowered that they can flout all laws and international conventions and yet their superiors justify these actions. It is a direct violation of Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1948 to arrest any person without trial or investigation. United States of America not only violates this convention meant for democratic nations and helps other countries like India to create and maintain laws that violate the Human Rights declaration. One just have to wonder, why they are putting that big statue of Abraham Lincoln in Washington DC, when they can not follow what he talked about. Its time, United States of America stops talking about Human Rights Conditions in India, Iran, Burma, Africa or other countries. One just have to wonder, if one can call USA as United States of (Saudi) Arabia, when there is no different between USA and Saudi Arabia, about the way these countries treat people.
