For a while I wondered why this organization - an Indian American Christian body - was up in arms about Hitler Modi. Again Indians, with their typical Indian disregard for law (or is it that Hindus alone have that disregard?) and yet such a "humanist" position:
http://us.rediff.com/news/2005/mar/19modi1.htm Could it be because Gujarat (and its tribal hinterland) is the first state where the Christian missionary bodies were beaten at their own games by the Vanvasi Kalyan Kendra. More money from overseas than the missionaries and the Christian evangelists. More "conversion" programs. Better evangelism. Better organization. Far better social and economic uplift results. Simply put, their crocin worked better. Is it, finally, is all about politics? --- Ram Sarangapani <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: --------------------------------- >I am not going to comment on the hindu-muslim issue.

Thats an angle that India ought to think about. If this had come a few days earlier, then maybe India could have denied the visa for Rice. The US has given visas to many 'criminal' elements. Visas have Is been granted to Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams and to Arafat (a terrorist in US eyes) in the past. That is why, if the State Dept. followed an overall policy a opposed to a pick & choose policy which can be influenced by pressure groups. The US is not dealing with an India of yester years. Today, India can well take a stand and the US would have to pay attention. --Ram > _______________________________________________ > Assam mailing list > Assam@pikespeak.uccs.edu > http://pikespeak.uccs.edu/mailman/listinfo/assam > > Mailing list FAQ: > http://pikespeak.uccs.edu/assam/assam-faq.html > To unsubscribe or change options: > http://pikespeak.uccs.edu/mailman/options/assam > __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
