Send a thank you note (or a note of displeasure) to Prime Minister Vajpayee. 1)For a job well done 2)For a job not well done Here is the email address to the PM:- abvajpayee@bjp.org PS:I think he has done a fairly good job under very difficult circumstances. Personally I would have rated him better if it wasn't for all the religious animosities that has been created during the BJP regime. I wish somebody put a stop to mixing religion with politics for crying out loud as it is not going to get India very far.

Open Issues: 1, Aryan Immigration into India and 2, Secessionist movement in India. I thought to resolve the issue # 2 will be easy. I wrote to Hindu and rediff.com, asking them to look up their archives to prove Paz right or wrong once and for all. Unfortunately, I have not heard from either of them yet. I will keep you posted either way, if I hear from them. Issue # 1 is more complex for obvious reasons. The analogy comes to mind is that of evolution vs creationism. If you are interested in that sort of stuff, here is a review of a book by an MIT Professor. I am sure there will be another book in due course that would say that this book is all wrong. sigmaxi.org Another ambassador, another journey. This time by the grand son of Zoroaster, Cyrus Spitama, Ambassodor of Persia to India in 5th century BC. This is a work of fiction, "Creation" by Gore Vidal, published in 1981. Some excerpts, Page 163, If Pythogoras (the guy who had that right angled traingle) had any contacts with the Jains, no evidence that he did…if idea of transmigration of souls occurred to him all by itself, then there is possibility that this pre-Aryan (reincarnation) may be true. Page 179, "There was neither nonexistence nor existence, there was no air, no sky,….there was neither death nor immortality, neither night nor day. But then because of the heat an entity known as the One came into being……" "Who knows where it all came from? And how creation happened…" the (Hindu) high priest continued. Page 270, I told him (the truth according to the wise lord and his prophet Zoroaster). When I had finished, Sariputra (a Buddhist monk) said to prince Jeta ( Kaushali prince) "This wise lord sounds exactly like Brahma trying to pass himself off as a Persian. Oh, those (Hindu) Gods! They change their names from country to country…… And finally from the back flap of the book, " There isn't a page of Creation that does not inform and very few pages that do not delight". The New York Times. Thanks. Keep them coming. Regards, Satish
