Rahul Gandhi, the "crown prince" of Indian politics, told the US ambassador at a lunch last year that Hindu extremist groups could pose a greater threat to his country than Muslim militants.
In controversial comments likely to cause a storm in India, Gandhi – considered a likely prime ministerial candidate and a scion of the country's leading political family – warned Timothy Roemer that although "there was evidence of some support for [Islamic terrorist group Laskar-e-Taiba] among certain elements in India's indigenous Muslim community, the bigger threat may be the growth of radicalised Hindu groups, which create religious tensions and political confrontations with the Muslim community".
The 40-year-old politician, the son of the Congress party president, Sonia Gandhi, told the ambassador that "the risk of a "homegrown" extremist front, reacting to terror attacks coming from Pakistan or from Islamist groups in India, was a growing concern and one that demanded constant attention".
The US view of him has evolved. In late 2007, US diplomats described the young politician, recently appointed to lead the Congress youth wing, as "widely viewed as an empty suit and will have to prove wrong those who dismiss him as a lightweight".
"To do so he will have to demonstrate determination, depth, savvy and stamina. He will need to get his hands dirty in the untidy and ruthless business that is Indian politics," one said in a cable entitled The son also rises: Rahul Gandhi takes another step towards top job.
Other cables talk of Gandhi's political inexperience and repeated gaffes. They also repeat cutting criticism from political analysts and journalists.
However as Gandhi warmed to the US, the US warmed to him. In a meeting with another American official last summer, he explained his strategy of targeting rural populations and small towns, impressing his interlocutor.
"[Gandhi] came off as a practiced politician who knew how to get his message across, was precise and articulate and demonstrated a mastery that belied the image some have of [him] as a dilettante," the official said.
In November last year, after a meeting with the US ambassador, a cable to Washington described Gandhi as "an elusive contact in the past" but now "clearly interested in reaching out to the USG [United States government]".
A cable from February this year describes him as "increasingly sure-footed".
For Roemer, writing after the lunch during which Gandhi had commented on extremism, "the rising profile of young leaders like Rahul Gandhi provides [the USA with] an opening to expand the constituency in support of the strategic partnership with a long term horizon".

After this leak, the public following of Rahul Gandhi is going to reduce by 50% for sure. But i really hope Hindu radicals overgrow and overthrow the threat of Islamic terror, 3 islamic countries adjacent to India will be wiped off the face of earth, if at all Hindu radicals start to call the shots.

If you try to attack Hindus, they will take you head on ! – Shiv Sena Chief
Mumbai: Who is this Rahul? It seems that he is not satisfied with the slap he received in Bihar and wants to have one more from Hindu terrorists. There is nothing new in Rahul Gandhi’s Italian connection. Mafia originated in Italy. In this Italy, Sonia’s father was a friend of Mussolini. Your family has infested Hindustan with mafia. Everybody knows that your family, right from Nehru, has worshipped Muslims who are fanatics and were responsible for partition of this country; therefore, do not try to act smart. If you try to unnecessarily attack Hindus, they will take you head on, said Shiv Sena Chief Mr. Balasaheb Thackeray.

I did not hear of any Hindu terrorist up to now. Where did they start suicide attacks? Nowhere.

The stupid sheeple of India will continue to elect Bolsheviks no matter what because all they care about is envying their neighbors better-off than themselves.

Rahul Gandhi sounds like an Israeli politician. :'(

I think average Indians are probably worse than average Israelis. Average Israelis will at least usually vote for who pretends to be right-wing. When given the choice between open, honest Marxists and Hindu nationalists, the majority of Indians knowingly vote for the former.
