    Let us take "Experience America" as an opportunity to understand what The Consulate General has to say without any preconceived notions. Let us view this event with an open mind.

    Let the visit of The Consular Officer to Mangalore be an eye opener so that we can understand U.S. policies regarding the visas etc.

    I am sure there will be a question hour when whatever we wish to express may be voiced.

    Whatever u have mentioned is America's devide and rule policy. Whenever they feel India is threat , they support Pakistan and vise versa. In that way they can rule the world!!

    Experiencing or living in another culture helps to over come bigotry, bias and narrow mindedness.
