That very sagacious response was penned by a Bombay based woman, and sent to
my brother. He had circulated the the Patel article about a month ago.
Thanks. Eric.

Eric,
Your thoughtful and reasoned response gives me hope.
---------------------
Every now and then I see something which defies even a forgiving excuse for its
cynicism.
Aakar Patel obviously belongs to that exclusive group that cannot seem to get
their
blinkers off.
Sure, there is a lot wrong with the way things happen in India but to equate
this
with the abject poverty that the British encouraged to keep a nation enslaved
defies
reason. The same warlords divided this country and sowed the seeds of religious
intolerance. When they found they could not milk this country very much longer
they
decided the scorched earth policy to undo the British Raj on religious and
impotent
princedom grounds.
