India's ambassador to Washington, Ronen Sen, said yesterday that his
country was able to handle its relief effort on its own following last
month's tsunami in the Indian Ocean, which hit his country and 11
others, killing more than 150,000 people.
He defended his government's decision to decline international relief
aid, which he said was neither an "insensitive response, nor was it
snooty or arrogant, but a matter of capability, timely reaction and
pride."
