Following the incident, the Deputy High Commissioner, Rajesh Prasad, visited the Vermas at their home on two occasions - on December 13 and on January 3. On the second occasion he BERATED Paromita for letting the incident go beyond the family. He told her, "We have decided you WILL GO to India on forced leave" ... and if she was stubborn then there had been incidents where a car comes and picks up families and simply puts them on a flight against their will... == COMMENT: It is still premature to adequately discuss the actions of Mr. Verma - as his side will have to be heard too; his 'diplomatic immunity' having been noted. However, while that goes on, I hope we will NOT forget to take note of the above (allegedly) from Mr. Prasad. a: ANY comment from Baillancho Saad or any other Indian Women's groups? b: No ....I do not believe that Sati is making a serious come back in India. But, do you doubt, that 'THEY' decided that Sati WILL Go and Jump in the fire ...OR a bail-gaadi would come and she be transported there against her will? .....until the Portuguese (later, of the Inquisition-fame) and the British (later, of the Jallianwalla Bagh firing) banned it by decree? c: How many million widows, mothers, sisters, daughters, grand-mothers do we estimate were eliminated by this route of "religious immunity"? And what do we believe happened to the "land"? c: Yes, I do not believe that Indian Men, in general, are fair to Indian Women. Never mind the India Chak Chak. jc
