India, from midnight to millennium Hello Mohan: Just finished this excellent book by Shashi Tharoor. He is executive assistant to the UN secretary general. The basic theme is India for Indians. He is against any kind of fanaticism. Excerpt from page 342.. "In the state of Madras (later to be renamed Tamil Nadu), a combination of anti-Brahminism, Tamil Pride, and resentment at the north's attempt to impose Hindi on the country as a national language fueled the rise of Dravida Munetra Kazhgam (DMK). The DMK spoke of seceding to form a separate "Dravidastan", defeated Congress Party in state elections in 1967, formed a government, and was quietly co-opted into the Indian democratic system." Awhile ago, I had referred to Neville Maxwell's book , "India's China war". Carlsbad CA city library has a copy of the book. They will loan it to you if you ask your local library to get it for you. Regards, and a happy reading to you too. Satish
