obama and the first lady visited the site of mahatma gandhi's cremation today, removing their shoes and tossing flower pet als as is customary. and this evening an elaborate state dinner hosted by the prime minister and his wife. however it was not all a delicate diplomatic dance. yesterday the president and first lady found time to cut a rug with some children at a new dehli school. tomorrow the president departs for indonesia where he spent four years as a child. for more on president obama's trip to india we get two views. deepa ollapally teaches international relations, and is associate director of the center for asian studies at george washington university. she travels frequently to india. charles kupchan is a senior fellow at the council on foreign relations and author of "how enemies become friends: the sources of stable peace." he served on national security council staff during the clinton administration. professor ollapally, during this trip, president obama has called the tie with india one of the defining relationships of the 21st century. is it right? and how does this tri

and these would help india to rise above his circumstances to as gandhi said, with the tear up every indian face. to that argument with a bomb is not these anti-colonialist, some way i feel that he is frozen in the time machine of his father's anti-colonialism. his father was an african socialists, frozen the anti-colonialism of the 1950s. my fears in some sense america today is being governed by the dreams of you will tribesmen the 50, who was in the sense locked into a view of the world but it's completely relevant today. countries are coming up all over the world today and they're coming up exploiting what the economist congress of the blood calls the advantage of backwardness. the event is a backwards in backwardness. what does that mean? what it means if you're a poor country, your labor costs are low. and if you can use that to make stuff that other people want to buy, you can come up rapidly. that's how china is coming up, india, and purcell indonesia. where obama lived for four years. you know, when obama was elected, and intimations wreck did it at you to celebrate translate

it has a gandhi pacifist strain that bumps up against some of the elements of american foreign policy. so i don't think we're going to rush into each other's arms but i think this is going to be a slow-building relationship between the world's two biggest multiethnic democracies. we have a lot in common. >> rose: how does the united states get india to look at pakistan with a better perspective? >> well, you're right, charlie. i mean you talk to any indian official and it always reminds me of talking to israelis 20 years ago and yasser arafat and the p.l.o. when they're talking about pakistan, these indian officials. so it's a deep neural jim relationship. it's centered in the dispute over kashmir and jammu and unfortunately india views that as entirely an internal issue and therefore has never invited or allowed the kind of external mediation we've done in the arab-israeli conflict. so what we've been nudging india to do-- and president obama did that on this trip-- is to try to be... make a more forward-leaning stand in resolving... finding some kind of resolution on kashmir with pa

despite advocating gandhi-style passive resistance, suu kyi, young leader of national league for democracy, was ordered to leave the country. when she refused, she was placed under house arrest. the generals, who've just seen the party they back win controversial elections in burma, have been under international pressure to free the nobel peace prize winner. but burmese exiles here distrust them. >> if the government fears that by releasing her she could rally theasses against the government, they might postpone her release. so i share the excitement, but have some cautions. >> reporter: aung san su kyi's lawyer has said she wont accept freedom if it's on condition she abandons politics. >> sreenivasan: suu kyi's party won a landslide election victory in 1990, but the ruling generals refused to hand over power. she was barred from taking part in last sunday's voting for a new parliament. the u.n. appealed today for $164 million to contain the cholera outbreak in haiti. so far, the disease has killed at least 724 people, and it is expected to continue spreading. aid groups have set up tempo
