--- Begin Message --- Dear Friends,

Here is a personal experience, as well as a moment of national pride,
which I want to share with you. Hope you find it worth the  time you
put in reading it :

"In the middle of 1965 India-Pakistan  war, US govt - then a close
friend of Pakistan - threatened India  with stopping food-aid
(remember "PL-480"?). For a food deficient  India this threat was
serious and humiliating. So much so that in  the middle of war, Prime
Minister (Late) Lal Bahadur Shastri went to  Ram Leela Grounds in
Delhi and appealed to each Indian to observe  one-meal-fast every week
to answer the American threat. As a school  boy, I joined those
millions who responded to Shastri ji's call. I  continued the fast
even when the war was over and India became self  sufficient in food.
Hurt deep by the national humiliation suffered  at the hands of the US
govt, I had vowed
to stop my weekly fast only  when India starts giving aid to USA.

It took just 40 years. Last week THE day arrived. When Indian
ambassador in Washington DC handed over a cheque of US$ 50 million to
the US govt, two plane loads of food, medical aid and other relief
materials were waiting to fly to  the USA. Time to break the fast?
With no bad feeling about the USA,  and good wishes for the Katrina
victims, this humble Indian feels  proud of the distance India has
covered in 40 years. Let's celebrate  a New India!"

- Vijay Kranti.
