The shooting deaths of six members of a Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wis., recently was a genuine tragedy, to be sure, but the Indian government seems to be engaging in selective outrage when compared to the number of Indian farmers who have died under Monsanto-linked circumstances.

First, the diplomatic outrage.

Since the shooting, U.S. government officials have been working “behind the scenes” to assuage Indian anger over the shootings. That diplomatic effort has primarily involved Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, head of the State Department, who, according to Foreign Policy magazine, has been fielding complaints from Indian government and religious officials who are now demanding more protection for Sikh temples throughout the United States.

In particular, Clinton telephoned Indian Foreign Minister S.M. Krishna after he “criticized the U.S. for failed policies and a growing trend of violent incidents against religious minorities,” the magazine said.
“I have seen messages of condolence from President Obama and others. They’ve emphasized protection of all faiths. The U.S. government will have to take a comprehensive look at this kind of tendency which certainly is not going to bring credit to the United States of America,” Krishna was quoted as saying in a magazine story featuring a photo of Sikh faithful in India tearing up and burning cardboard U.S. flags.

To that end, following the attack several demonstrations against the U.S. broke out in a number of Indian cities; not surprisingly, many called for stricter American gun laws.

Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal, in a letter to Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, pushed for the Indian government to pressure the Obama administration to do more to protect Sikhs in the U.S.

“The government of India must get more actively and vigorously involved in getting the U.S. administration to address the issue in right earnest,” Badal wrote.

“That this senseless act of violence should be targeted at a place of religious worship is particularly painful,” Singh agreed, in a statement.
