President Obama: "We need to step up as husbands, fathers and sons to protect our women. They deserve respect and dignity. No society is immune from darkest impulses of men."

Obama makes a strong statement on religious freedom and speaks of the gurudwara attack in the US and says everyone should be free to practice faith."

Obama says a nation should be judged by how it treats its women. But we wonder if he will repeat that later in the day in Saudi Arabia, where he will go to meet to meet its new king Salman. His uncle, King Abdullah died last week.


Pic: Obama mentioned Dr Martin Luther King in his address. Here's a picture of when Dr King visited Rajghat. In 1959, Dr King traveled "as a pilgrim" to India to study Gandhi's techniques and legacy. The picture shows him laying a wreath at Rajghat.
