[Reader-list] Is this a Forum for fake ID's

[anupam chakravartty]

Kshmendra,

I think I havent missed out or speed read any of the comments made by Tapas
Ray. So it would kind of you to rule out such a possibility. Bauls, in
general, have been mocked by Mr Ray at the cost of making a statement.
Perhaps he should have read or heard bauls before making such a statement.
It was completely uncalled for.

Thanks

Anupam
