Response: False propaganda and filthy abuse is the way people respond when they cannot make a rational case for their cause and Rupert's mail is a classic example. Samir should have just ignored it. It is sad that Soter likes this sort of behaviour and thinks that this is the desi way. Well, I do not know exactly which Desh or Des he is talking about. When an organisation called FORCE led by two convicted politicians were threatening the government, I wonder whether Soter was asleep!! Just to give an example, one bit of false propaganda was that Parrikar's son got education that he was now denying to other Goan children. It turns out that his son studied in a Marathi primary school and then in an English secondary school and this is available to all Goan kids today without enticing gullible parents towards English in primary schools. while I write this, I support the sizeable number of Goan parents who have no affection for regional Indian languages to get their children educated in English primary schools with government grants. I just wish this was done in a democratic manner. Anil Desai
