Sat Mar 8 17:51:16 IST 2008

dear friends
there has to be some grace and decency in public debates name calling
is juvenile and obscene as if all the  redears list debaters are nobel
prize winners stooping down to the personal under the belt  and
disgraceful attack on sanjay kak i ask who is pawan durani
any one conscious on social issues knows that sanjay kak is a bold
film maker who exposed indian states genocide in kashmir
