Vajpayee's recent trip to Pakistan has also reconfirmed a feeling among many Indian Muslims that their Prime Minister is not a bigot. In Lucknow, Muslims say that they believe Vajpayee's sensitivity to their concerns stretches back to his tenure as India's Foreign Minister in the late 1970s, when he took steps to make it easy for Indian Muslims to work in the Middle East.
