[Reader-list] interesting facts

Sat Apr 11 03:22:23 IST 2009

Interesting indeed, especially when compiled by some one from the "Art
of Living"!!
(Art of Being Silent, Art of Being Ignorant, Art of Being Selective ,
Art of Silently Propagating Hate.. like a cat walks in and drinks the
milk!..and yet talking ,speaking and preaching love and peace!)
Why else don't  you ask to compile the figures of those 2000 odd
innocent people killed in cold blood by Narendra Modi & Co in Gujarat,
following a tragedy in which a coach or two of the Subarmati Express
caught fire and scores of people died?
Why don't you ask to compile the figures of people killed as a result
of the hate campaign by Advani in the 1990s for demolishing the Babari
Masjid disguised as campaign for building a Ram temple in Ayodhya?
Why don't you ask the "Art of Living" hate speakers not to keep
silence about people's right to live in peace in Khandmahal, Orissa
and elsewhere?
Why silence about the impunity with which  dalits are  killed, dalit
women and women of minority communities are raped everywhere in India?
Regards,
Venu.
