[Reader-list] Eid message from Kashmir

Fri Sep 10 10:08:18 IST 2010

At last, the truth is out:
this is a forum that promotes Sedation...!
No wonder the Reader List periodically slips into a state of enlarged yawn
Now I know why some of the ramblings here are like the mumblings of
the comatose, and sound like the nightmares of others.
Sleep well, comrades, lest Sedation turn into Sedition
Best
Sanjay

>>

>>    4. Through local Baitul Maal committees provide regular monetary support

>>    6. Strengthening and widening the scope of community schools to ensure
