Chapter 1.1.23: India Marrying a Dead Corpse
The elation among members of the US business
lobby and Indian American community leaders after President Bush
signed the US-India civilian nuclear deal legislation into law in
the East Room of the White House was almost uncontrollable.
Swadesh Chatterjee, the founder and coordinator of the US-India
Friendship Council, said: “Such things don’t happen very often.
This is absolutely our greatest moment as I said before after the
Senate vote, in the US-India relationship and I am so proud to be
an Indian American and to be part of this great history-making
event.”
History is definitely going to be made. India will become the first country ever to marry a dead corpse and then set herself afire in the old Indian Sati tradition.
