What specific points would you like me to answer? You don't make an argument against anything I said. You draw a parallel between something SSRS is doing and what MMY is doing, see them as the same thing, and then infer that the same criticism I have towards MMY can be applied towards SSRS. You must think I'm a SSRS fundie or something. I'm not. But I have noticed that SSRS is much more rational than MMY. This is neither good nor bad, just a difference between the two. Most likely the university that SSRS is talking about will actually get built because the discussion will be grounded in the waking state realities of creating such a project. If SSRS wants to build a university, I believe that his actual agenda is to build a university. Not so with MMY. Through personal experience and the personal experience of many others it seems that MMY is rarely doing what he appears to be doing. On the surface MMY wants to build a university. From a waking state rational perspective this is insane. Why? Well, there already is MUM. Why not sink capital into that university? Why build a university in the middle of nowhere? Why would more students come to such a school? This university will never occur and I truly believe it is not MMY's intent for it to occur. Also, what do you mean by a fundamentalist in denial? Denial of what? A fundamentalist of what or whom? Also, why not post using your name? > > ""The Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Vidya Mandir Trust and > the Government of > Orissa signed a Memorandum of Understanding on > December 18, 2006 to > establish a full-fledged multidisciplinary > university near the state > capital, Bhubaneswar within two or three years.
