Hello Pravinder I would suggest we restrict ourselves to the domain of this group i.e ARR and not comment about the rest. I am not sure about how much you have heard the MDs which you have mentioned, but it is a bit naive to say that the Burmans and OP Nayyer are suspect on authenticity. I wouldn't like to discuss more on them in this forum though.
