| Obama temple visit to be cancelled due to headscarf requirement? |
| 2010-10-19 |
| Obama's visit to the Golden Temple in Amritsar is likely to be called off after a controversy over what he should use to cover his head. The White House team which visited India last month decided against Obama wearing the traditional scarf on his head. Indian officials were told off-the-record that Obama wearing a headscarf to visit the Golden Temple may convey an image of him appearing to be a Muslim. This is one misinterpretation ObamaÂ’s advisors did not want at any cost, given the political sensitivities over this issue in the US. |
