Dear VenuGopalan,
I met Mr. Tanveer Kazi, who work with NCDHR (National Campaign for Dalit
Human Rights), and I have talked to him about the Chitralekha issue. But I
was unable to follow up with it, though I told him that I could send him
some information. If you have any documents about the whole issue, it will
be great to send it to them as they are working on human rights violations
on Dalits. His email id is [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Regards
Aryan

the world today are anarchists, who are busily
undermining capitalism while the rest of the left is
still trying to form committees."
