Hi Ram, Thanks. I respectfully beg to differ with Alpana Sarangapani.Since all of the responses were written individually,I don't see anything wrong in hammering upon the same focal points time and again.Instead of writing " thesis" by a few netters,their punch line should have been on the same moot points keeping their text abridged. *By the way,the attempt to establish a connection between the appointment of a Naga governor in Maharashtra and the article written by Shukla is,in my view, way way way out of the context.But then, mysterious are the ways of the Almighty !!!* KJD
