what you do not understand is what i am talkin is in a relative sense.. if there are criticisms to the kerala model of development (abt which i am well read, i did not ask u to explain me anything), does that mean that bangalore (or whichever city u live) is better than kerala..
(2).. has any other state in india fared better on these issues? (3).. do u know stats abt custodial deaths elsewhere (i can send u links)? how is moral policing related to the police.. muthanga was perfectly legal (because kerala givernment is not expected to tolerate parallel governments).. u make an aviyal with a lot of unrelated things.. pick each and explain how things in kerala are much worse than things elsewhere in that context.. u need only ask urself.. (4).. u have to take a debate point b point.. if there are some criticisms abt model A, it doesnt mean that anythign apart from A is much better.. if u look at my email and ur reply, u really havent responded to 20% of what i have written.. u really dont have a single valid point against "evryone knows evryone" spaces.. u just said that that promotes fundamentalism.. i dont really see any connection.. ranjit, i have nothing against you.. but i would prefer that we dont reply to each others emails on this issue, because there doesnt seem to be any logical continuity.. u tell something, i reply, and u tell something else, and i reply.. it has never happened the other way..
