Clinton has a hard task to make visit to india a success
For a Secretary of State to President Barrack Obama, who has captured the imagination of India, a person, who is well known and liked in India, the first chair of the India "Caucus" in the Senate, a presidential candidate, who received massive support from the Indian Americans, Hillary Clinton is arriving in India a little too late.
She has been in office for nearly six months and she has already visited some other countries in Asia and some of her pronouncements in China have caused concern in India. There are other reasons for her to reassure India that the strategic partnership between the two countries is intact. She, therefore, has a hard task ahead of her to make the visit a success.
Of course, the Obama Administration had to wait till the elections in India. Like everyone else, the US might also have expected change in India.

Pakistan is ‘abdicating to the Taliban', Secretary Clinton says
The Pakistani government "is basical ly abdicating to the Taliban and to the extremists," Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton told Congress on April 22 in an unusually blunt statement that reflects the unease within the Obama administration about an agreement authorized by President Asif Ali Zadari last week.
The agreement would permit sharia, or Islamic law, in the Swat Valley - just 100 miles west of the capital, Islamabad - and was reached after the Pakistani military failed to rout Taliban fighters there.
Clinton, appearing before the House Foreign Affairs Committee, tempered her remarks by saying that the Pakistani government needs to improve its delivery of justice and services - precisely what leaders there aim to do with billions of dollars in new U.S. assistance.
