[Reader-list] Guha's weak defenders: Sanjay Kak on Ram Guha's Book:

[ARNAB CHATTERJEE]

Dear Pawan,
           It is me Arnab in support of Namrata--and
what she is saying and Kak's review. The sentence got
suddenly cut off and it looks like that. I apologise
and now I want to get into  the debate with everybody.
Please come in Shuddha, Sadan, Mahmood and all

yours in discourse
