Dear Sir:
I don't send e-mails to people I don't know.
You receive these, because of a very simple reason: You subscribe to
assamnet. I would have thought, that you as an internet user and thus
a relatively well informed person, would have been able to figure
that out all by yourself. But I am pleased to help out the clueless
when I can.
Now, if my posts give you heart-burn, you have several options to deal with it:
A: Take Milk of Magnesia or eat Khaar.
B: Don't read the posts that I send. What you don't read, won't
hurt you. Ignorance is indeed bliss.
C: Make a filter to block posts that originate from my IP address.
D: Un-subscribe from assamnet.
E: But the most effective solution is to speak out, rationally that is
and rebut or refute what you do not agree with. This is the best
medicine for your ailment. And it will also make you smarter. You
will appear intelligent, increase your circle of admirers, and who
knows, someday may even get a prize for something.
How do I know?
Because I have given this prescription out many times before.
Trust me--it DOES WORK!
And don't ever send another clueless mail like this. Not that it
hurts me: It makes you look very bad. And I like to think you don't
deserve it.
Take care.

I would be glad if you would spend a little of you valuable time in
explaining to me about what reason you are sending such mails.
Thanking you.

How does Outlook India fare on that, compared to say, the English
mouthpieces from Assam or such jewels of the desi media as The
Statesman, The Telegraph, The Indian Express ? I'll let netters
decide that for themselves.
Did you know that Arundhati was once caught peddling drugs in Goa
with a Firang >boyfriend.
*** No I did not. And I also did not know that she once cheated on
her high school test, that she drinks alcohol and smokes 'bhang',
that she wears western clothes and does not wear a 'bindi', that
she reads books banned in India, that she has Pakistani friends,
that she does not go to temples, that she is a vegan, that she was
paid to speak in a New York conference known to espouse liberal
causes and other such high-crimes and misdemeanors.
But what does that have to do with the quality of what she wrote in
this article and the substantiation for the opinions she expressed,
the substantiation being documentation in the public record and
thus very easily verifiable and /or challenged? Have anyone been
able to rebut anything she put forth in this piece?
Dont trust junkie "activists".
*** Words of the wise no doubt. But it really amounts to bad
mouthing someone when one cannot rebut or refute what gives one
heart-burn. Not something a mature and intelligent person would
indulge in.
Also remember how she melodramatically asked 13 questions on this
issue - like >as if she would have had 14 questions if the attack
was on the 14th of Dec.
*** Is this the coup-de-grace to finally put to rest AR's arguments?
There is also a video on the net which says that Sep 11 is
actually the >handiwork of the CIA, FBI etc...another one also on
man's first moon landing >and it says it was a hoax played on us
people :-)
*** Uh-huh! I know that. I also know of other similar theories and
beliefs about everything imaginable under the sun that Indians are
mired in, including its world class brain-trust.
>
But again, what does that have to do with the price of tea in
China, or for that matter with what AR writes in the article in
question?

You don't have to take my word for it. But if you go do your
homework, I am sure you will see the travesty .
I learned only because I read Arundhati Roy's well researched and
documented article. I think I posted it in Assam Net. She was
challenged by one Chandan Das, a journalist I think, about her
pointing fingers to the need for a trigger
to launch a war against Pakistan. But she had her homework done
thoroughly and proved her point clearly from the published
utterances by both ABV and another big name in the NDA govt. You
will find it all in the archives of Outlook India.

C'da,
I am sure what you say is correct (about Afzal). From what little
I read about the case in the media, I came out with the
impression that he was deep into it.

I, obviously, did not realize the extent to which the GOI and its
spooks would go to orchestrate such a sinister plot. :)
But then, I would have to go back and do my home work (and
revisit this topic)

*** That is a misleading question. INNOCENT of WHAT?
A capital crime? Not to anyone who has an ordinary amount of
reasoning ability and is willing to look at the public record of
the trials and the cooked evidence. The world knows he was framed
by Indian justice system. Even the SC's own words sending him to
the gallows are damning. Why do you think they haven't done a
Saddam on him yet? It is not the fear of Kashmiris rising in
outrage, but of world opinion.
Yes, Afzal did play a small role in the conspiracy. But it does
not amount to a capital crime. Circumstantial evidence abounds to
indicate that the real culprits, more than likely, were created
by Indian spooks at the behest of the highest echelons of
government in a scheme to provide the excuse for a war with
Pakistan that went awry. They are either six-feet under or are
safely stowed away by the same keepers of the Justice.

Wasn't Afzal the guy who attacked the Parliament (or

I have not followed the case closely, but Afzal received the best
justice that Indian conditions allow, and furthemore, had it been
some other (low profile) person, Afzal would have already been
hung - what with the righteous protests and evn Pakistan wanting
the GOI to let Afzak go free.

Just ask Mohammed Afzal, sentenced to hang in the Parliament Shooting case.
