Hi Mohan, the cow article was universal, I thought, in its clear portrayal of how extremism can easily become absurdity and soon after tyranny. All the nations of the world seem now to be confronting elements in their societies which seek to impose their sometimes crazy regimens of belief on non-subscribers -- often under the guise of protecting society at large while abandoning the true tenets of reason and pragmatism which ensure real happiness, well-being and health. Religious fundamentalism -- it's rarely an actual quest for purity and more often a self-indulgent bath in the happy memories of what is falsely recalled as a trouble-free and changeless past. dulane PS> anyone know of new Indian fiction writers who either write in English or are presently in translation. Especially interested in Indians living in America.

Though I can follow the logic, much of this culture is lost upon me due to my ignorance. Thanks for the link, though. Sounds like the religious conservatives of India are as clever and obsessive as their Western Christian counterparts of which I am somewhat more familiar. By the way, most of those fast food vendors don't serve pure beef, I'm sure there are vast amounts of soy extenders, sawdust, and the occasional miscellany of other creature's meats mixed into the kettle, rat loin perhaps ? So flip another patty on the barbe and pass me some buns. That or some more of that fine liver pate. Question: As the internet shrinks the world, will it be occasioned by cultural e-wars ? Certainly no one culture will "own" the net or dominate it in due time.
