That's well said Chetan!! Also it is my humble request to the members: There is a link at the bottom of every message from the group and it takes just a fraction of second to press enter on it and learn the objectives of the group. So much of resistance against raising of VH women's issues clearly exemplifies the fact that Irrespective of our formal degrees, we refuse to be self-critical. Rather we are so desperate to shut our world in the name of technology and so forth. This is precisely what I meant in my previous message when I raised a question regard to the sensitization of VH men on women's issues. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chetan Sharma" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <accessindia@accessindia.org.in> Sent: Monday, December 04, 2006 9:59 PM Subject: Re: [AI] Proposal for starting a separate group on
