Dear Joao Baab As a dedicated researcher and academician, I always strive to maintain objectivity and neutrality. My goal is to uncover facts and present them in their most authentic form. I am driven solely by the spirit of research and not by any political agenda. Rest assured of my impartiality.
Thank you, and I sincerely appreciate and share your concern. I am only trying to take forward my writer-father, Mahableshwar Sail's legacy!
