Hello,
Thats why he is trying to reach locally!!! The point he is trying
to make really good. Locally he can penetrate to more people and
obviously everybody will come to know about the indian community and
will get invloved. Since we got tonnes of to do, you need more people,
what bhavani did is the right thing in that directions.
Advantage is no body will stop just looking at the local community,
they will get aware of the much bigger community, and definately they
want to join it for sure.
Regards,
shashi
