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

Sun Mar 9 12:12:26 IST 2008

Dear Asit ,

Youn would be perfectly right if you would question "Who is Pawan Durani?"
for I may be as unknown to you as Sanjay Kak ( Monalisa With A Beard ) is to
Kashmir and Kashmir issue.

Ask the bearded Monalisa did he have answers to the arguments ? The only
time he fely happy has been Gorakhpur festival where the reason for his
happiness was that no one asked him about Pandits .

And that served what he wanted .

For us , the Kashmiri Pandits, he has been a traitor and let Sanjay kak
admit in this Form , that even his parents are not happy with him.

Partha : I forgot to tell you that the bearded Monalisa is the member of
this Forum.

Regards

Pawan Durani
