Dear Jayantilal,
When I read your emails declaring things on behalf of community, I wondered was
there an election in the Indian community that I missed? Who elected you the
head of the community?
Then I looked more and realised you are the same email address that a few
months ago copied in

Dear Bodhisattwa,
Thank you for your reply.

India. I have always felt that
Hi,
Coincidentally, just yesterday afternoon, when we were having a meeting in
Kolkata with volunteers from West Bengal and Bangladesh, these concerns

be addressed by WMF.
Thank you for upholding the importance of the community by saying -- "I am
