[Reader-list] Pakistan kids on reality show face MNS ire

[Rajendra Bhat Uppinangadi]

KK, u are absolutely on the pulse of the nation, but this game of divide and
rule is typical of popes iniative for being devout BushWhen the society of
indians could struggle together to oust britih rule, it  was after 1969 that
the arrogant madam indira who did not become Durga as she was prtrayed, but
with 93000 POWs when she could have been more relevant for both the nations,
she chose prsonal glory, now this Sonia is happy with her hitmen managing
the show, once a law minister and then as governors for her, not the nation.
regards, rajen.
