He was very passionate about the Hindu cause, at a time when it was not a 
mainstrem issue: the Jan Sangh had around twenty five?members elected to 
Parliament.  He was a very vocal spokesman for gay groups and their concerns, 
in the 80's.

Mario responds:

I wish he were as passionate about the truth as it pertains to Iraq and its 25 
million innocent Iraqis, instead of being a spokesman for their oppressors.

We spent two years together at St.Xavier's College, the early 60's.  A Dadar 
native, he had studied at the Scottish Orphanage,  a non-aided school that 
catered to the wealthy.
 A Saraswat who spoke our language, he was very bright, and always very civil. 
His first letter to Time magazine appeared soon after he graduated, and  what 
would become a near career of protest posts in the English language press. He 
was very passionate about the Hindu cause, at a time when it was not a 
mainstrem issue: the Jan Sangh had around twenty five members elected to 
Parliament.
 He was a very vocal spokesman for gay groups and their concerns, in the 80's.
 We were friends, but I cannot confirm if he is still around. eric.
