[Reader-list] Intentions behind an Open Letter ToIndianCricketTeam Captain

[meena menon]

Hi
The letter posted by Sanjay was interesting. I read only a brief report
about this in the papers. The letter raised disturbing questions and did not
give me any pleasure. I fail to understand why it must give pleasure to "all
practising pseudo secularists" as suggested in one posting. Are there non
practising pseudo secularists?  And what is all this about anyway? And am
curious to know, as am new to the list, does one have to be asked  to
explain the intentions behind  making a posting?

Best
