I would put it around 125 of which only around 50 occupied the chairs. It appears that not all people from Vanxim attended the meet particularly the nearby Hindu community. Our short visit to the right of the church, towards river bank. - we saw some people in their houses. For a meet like this. Every one should have attended the meet, particularly all Vanxin islanders. One speaker said, and said it twice that he does not know the Vanxim scandal in details… People who don’t know the problem or people who don’t know what they are talking, should not be allowed to speak at all.

What you read here is what I saw or what I felt – some of it you see in the video anyway. I must admit I share the ideology of Fr. Bismark.
