JPR I hope you are right about the BJP winning elections. I have my doubts. Majority of the people in India live from day to day and are mainly occupied with getting their next meal. That makes it easy for politicians to get their vote. And if that doesnt work there are always the threats of economic and physical harm. On another subject, I was in Orlando last week for Sindhi Sammelan. They had invited a Sindhi from Sindh who had just been released after 20-years in jail as apolitical prisoner since another one, G.M Syed, was killed and the Human rights people were after the Paki Govt. He was furious through out his 20 minute speech and had a really sad tale of more than 40,000 Hindu Sindhis enslaved by Muslim Zameendars where they worked all day long in the fields and were herded in large halls at night. Anyone dissenting was killed openly and instantly. His take was that the Muslim relegion is Ok but this fundamentalism and the Mujahideens had their own brand of Muslim relegion and were using force to get all otehrs ot go along. This man was ready to give up his muslim relegion (very rare) and also willing, and wanting, to have Sindh seperated from Pakistan (just like Bangladesh) or be a part of India since Sindh is already on the border. Last month there was a TV show in Canada about the slavery in Sindh. Ratan
