LOL! Perhaps, if France is so very offensive to Sikhs, the Indian PM should have declined the invitation? Yet he and all the Indians participating yesterday looked extremely happy to be in Paris. (As they should be: nice weather, they put on a fine parade, they were applauded and made welcome).
The turban, by the way, is forbidden to schoolboys in state schools, nowhere else.
(I indeed found criticisms of him on Sikh action group pages.) *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
Secondly why it was not declined - because India does not want unnecessary problems with her elevation to UN SC where France enjoys undue influence of veto-wielding member.
But it could much better if French politicians finally woke up to reality and realized their real place in the world.
