[Reader-list] 6 Questions for Vedavati

[Jassim Ali]

Hi , 
Jus couldnt resist adding my two cents here :-) 
  the notion that the communalist and racial bigot is one of those topi and 
dadiwallah muslims 
and a saffron clad or a khaki shorts danda toting hindu has once again been 
quashed....
even a so called liberalist or a SEC- A person could be 'the real thing' as 
most of us see in our daily lives........
maybe the media had blown out the stereotype so much that we have 
conditioned to it ..........
 and jus before this turns into a mud slinging match ....lemme jus clarify 
that this is 
jus not personal or directed at any individual .....
 cheers
