THIS IS IN RESPONSE TO RAJAN PARRIKAR'S POST IN VOL 6, ISSUE 659 rajan,
your comments are so stilted and prejudiced...in so many dimensions...that to respond, i would have to descend to the rabid level of declamation that you have achieved. there is no special place in heaven or in the after life reserved for those weaned on the simple and righteous ways of hindu culture and religion. i grew up in a home steeped in conservativism but we were not tradition-bound. as such i grew up respecting the enlightenment that set the west free and scornful of hidebound indian mores that are the source of inequality. and this lack of an egalitarian ethic is the evil that has sapped, saps and will continue to sap india. rajiv.
