Hi y'all - interesting. I was suprised to learn the name "Subaltern
Media." When I was growing up the term Subaltern was solely used to
describe a lower rank officer in the British Raj. He may have been
oppressed by his superiors, but was in a highly priviledged position
regarding the locals. Today it seems the term is used to signify the
oppressed in South Asia!

As to the MLK speech, he obviously adored Ghandi, but he could not
foresee India gaining nuclear weapons. I fear that his policy of
unilateral disarmament or non-violent resistance would not work on the
border with Pakistan today.
