[Reader-list] "Second Thoughts" censorship on Kafila.org

[Pawan Durani]

Kshemendra,

I believe that you re wrong . Is it important for your comment to appear in
some unknown portal called Kafila ....

And more so , you have commented on a post by Shivam [ who ] ......Does his
post deserve to be commented on a portal ?

Shivam has been polite to refuse your comment ....you should thank him that
he has not dubbed you "Indian Nationalist" " Anti Azadi....."  or Brahimin
superiority .....or different caste things.....

That is where all he ends the discussion....

Pawan
