"In the aftermath of the crackdown in Iran, I resolved to step up efforts to provide pro-democracy activists with tools and technology to evade government repression and censorship. Over the next few years we invested tens of millions of dollars and trained more than five thousand activists around the world"
The above excerpts from "Hard Choices" (memoir of former Secretary of State of US - Hillary Clinton) clearly suggests the interference of USA in the "internal affairs" of other countries on very subjective grounds of Human rights and democracy without respecting the sovereign authority of those states.
As far as India is concerned this book does not having much to say except few points about Indo-Pak relations, pressurizing India to cut down import of Persian oil and climate change fiasco at UNFCCC summit of 2009. She categorically calls Pakistan a nation obsessed with India. In nutshell this is a good read to understand the political affairs of the world from the perspective of United States Of America. What ever US does, it does for the sake of human rights and democracy and while other countries simply use state power to crush human rights. US is the soul champion of liberty, democracy and freedom of expression. Its a one side take on international affairs (i.e. a well written American propaganda in soft version) and one should not expect any objective outcome from this memoir but its always important to know the other side of the story.
