Thanks Venu'ettan and Luisa for your posts.
(Its strange that there was no response so far to what Venugopal has written

discussions , debates and umpiring/soveriegn decision making.*
Really? and modern??
what kind of discussions take place there in GAndhi's (savarna) raj?

Hey Luisa - was not at all trying a one-up-man-ship... Please continue

And I do not claim to be an anarchist (despite my profound

Can we go beyond this expression of solidarity. This can happen to any of
us, given our work. Its tremendous that people have expressed solidarity,
but that is also reactionary. I have found this group useful in the limited
