Dear Aditya,

Looks like you cant take the pain anymore. calling a member of the brinda
brigade. you know opposition to a quack, a whacko, and Baba Ramdev can exist
without being aligned to any particular ideology. what makes you say that
section 377 stays in the end of the mail? this shows your intentions my
friend. running from it is not helping you much. anyway i dont wish to
continue a debate with a irrational person such as you. you can derive
whatever conclusions u want to derive because you havent been able to answer
any of the questions which were posed in the list, but you kept on harping
about this babaji of yours. hardwar is a beautiful place, i guess people
like ramdev and their shivirs are an eyesore and against the sanctity of
that place. and yeah suggestion about me visiting hardwar, i will take it
seriously...but why dont u move out the drawing room discussions of delhi?
see for yourself and come back write. that's more educative for you. take
care and next time be strong in what you argue. dont use people like ramdev
to further your cause. my business is to expose quacks like ramdev and i
will keep doing so even if u dont like it. ramdev has made yoga into a
commodity, which is where i have a problem. he should have been arrested,
but with such cultural vanguards as such the saffron bandwagon, soon
heritage of india would be up for sale in amazon.com

-with best wishes

anupam
