Dear Alpana,
I have not seen Deepa Mehta's movies

a function at Harvard University years ago where Mrs. Bapsi

I agree with Umesh-Ji on the storyline(?) in Fire. As far as I remember, it was a boring and meaningless picture - caring and affection between two human beings do not have to be anything like that, it can very well be platonic and the audience can still get the message - I mean, the husbands takin

If you been to other parts of India - you will see religous places of worship in the middle of the road. Even in mtreos like Mumbai. It started by (Hindu dominated govt) in Mumbai which razed hundreds of such temples etc some years ago as per court orders. That is the right thing to do. UmeshR

Why? Is it because the Hindus

Or there are no Hindu Rights

Dear friends,

Drilling on riverbed is much more serious than off-shore drilling. The topic
