[Reader-list] "Amaresh Mishra’s web of lies" - the Teesta Setalvad letter

[Kshmendra Kaul]

Dear Javed
 
That you believe what is written in the article was never considered by me. But that Yogi Sikand posted it in a webgroup (as I wrote earlier to Shuddha) really shocked me. That alone prompted me to comment on the re-churn by Amaresh Misra of earlier such article by him.
 
And yes, I know the "famed historian" was from the source. At least saw it thus promoted in Milli Gazette. 
 
I am a bit familiar with Aziz Burney (from secondary sources). 
 
Thanks for the weblink. Unfortunately I do not know Urdu. The site though has material in Hindi also and some in English.

Dear Kshmendra
I did not post that article because I believe in it. If you remember,
I had put a question mark in my subject. And I did not add the phrase
that Mishra is an "eminent historian" - that was how it was quoted
from the source.
By the way, you folks are probably not familiar with Aziz Burney, the
editor of Rashtriya Sahara, whose writings have been the inspiration
for much of conspiracy theories of Mishra and others. But some of
Burney's theories have also caught the authorities by surprise. If
anyone is interested, please take a look at http://azizburney.com/ You
are going to have fun, especially if you know Urdu.
