Venantius, I have copied the same (shortened to fit in 1500 characters allowed) in the comments section of the article on the Times of India article. Whether that will get displayed or not is another matter. My comments on Uday Bhembro's article have not yet been displayed - relevant issues I mentioned were about the Portuguese laws still being followed, abolition of sati, etc. All in decent, acceptable language. Still, it all depends on whether or not the editors deem it acceptable or not, I suppose.
