On June 27th, India?s Field Marshal Sam Hormusji Framji ?Sam Bahadur? Jamshedji Manekshaw died at age 94. Manekshaw was one of the heros of the 1971 India-Pakistan war, and an extremely popular figure in India.
Sam Manekshaw, who has died at the age of 94, was the first general of the modern Indian army to be made a field marshal; he was awarded this honorary rank in 1973, at the end of his four years as chief of army staff. His career lasted almost four decades, saw five wars, and culminated in his successful masterminding of the Indo-Pakistan war of 1971-- Full Story---> http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/jun/30/india
Obama' people come out with this statement out Sam Bahadur:
?I offer my deep condolences to the people of India, on the passing of Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw. He was a legendary soldier, a patriot, and an inspiration to his fellow citizens. Field Marshal Manekshaw provided an example of personal bravery, self-sacrifice, and steadfast devotion to duty that began before India?s independence, and will deservedly be remembered far into the future.?

Look like Obama, like Clinton, has realized the importance of the Indian community in America.
Obama?s statement is a product of a new India policy team set up two weeks ago within his campaign team. The team, co-chaired by two prominent Indian-Americans Vinod Khosla and Swadesh Chatterjee, includes some 20 Indian-Americans and South Asia experts from Bill Clinton?s administration. A key member of the team and the only Indian-American in Obama?s inner circle is Preeta Bansal, a Harvard Law School colleague of Obama

Looks like someone is trying to play nice after that D-Punjab fiasco.
