Rose Fernandes response: Mervyn, despite a recent posting on goanet (Message 5 Vol 7 Issue 444) which has said you have "plenty of opinions with total disregard for the facts", I am writing to let you know that I beg to differ with the writer of this posting and can confirm that you have written nothing but the "facts". Uploaded on U-tube on 22 October 2009 is Remo Fernandes on HCN/Part II. The upload is 7.17 minutes long and starting from minute 1.46 Remo talks about a farmer committing suicide out of starvation. In a video recording of his song "India, I Cry" which Remo Fernandes has uploaded on U-Tube on 6 October 2009, on minute 1.14 (of 5.28 minutes) a newspaper article is shown titled "Farmers Suicide" where the photograph shows the farming method used. Readers are free to view these uploads in another open and shut case. Rose Fernandes Thornton Heath, Surrey, United Kingdom 8 May 2012
