"..They read like the most extraordinary revelations. Citing the
WikiLeaks<http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/wikileaks>cables, major
Pakistani
newspapers <http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/newspapers> this morning carried
stories that purported to detail eye-popping American assessments of
India<http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/india>'s
military and civilian leaders...

"Enough evidence of Indian involvement in Waziristan, Balochistan," read the
front-page story in the
News<http://www.thenews.com.pk/TodaysPrintDetail.aspx?ID=2549&Cat=13>;
an almost identical story appeared in the Urdu-language Jang, Pakistan's
bestselling daily.If accurate, the disclosures would confirm the worst fears
of Pakistani nationalist hawks and threaten relations between Washington and
New Delhi. But they are not accurate.
   An extensive search of the WikiLeaks database by the Guardian by date,
name and keyword failed to locate any of the incendiary allegations. It
suggests this is the first case of WikiLeaks being exploited for propaganda
purposes.."

You cannot build anything on the foundations of caste. You cannot build up a
nation, you cannot build up a morality. Anything that you will build on the
foundations of caste will crack and will never be a whole.
