------------------------------------------------------------------------ * * * * * * * * * ANNUAL GOANETTERS MEET * * * * * * * * * ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Goanetters in Goa and visiting meet Jan 6, 2009 at 3.30 pm at Hotel Mandovi (prior to the Goa Sudharop event, which you're also welcome to). Join in for a Dutch dinner -- if we can agree on a venue after the meet. RSVP (confirmations only) 9822122436 or 2409490 or f...@goa-india.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I agree with Santosh's positions on this. Views from the other side of the divide would give an entirely different picture, quite contrary to the one painted by John Dayal. Here are just a few links from some past instances, gathered from RSS/ Hindu sources to illustrate just exactly this: http://www.hvk.org/articles/0500/14.html http://www.hvk.org/articles/0700/91.html http://www.hvk.org/articles/0500/45.html An independent analysis from an objective secular perspective must therefore not quote or rely on facts provided by people who have their own vested agendas and interests. While Frederick got almost everything else right in his column, he committed a gross error by relying on John Dayal as his data source, someone who is a known Christian propagandist and someone who has made quite a few baseless, religiously motivated and unsubstantiated claims in the past.
