Guest guest Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Dear Kishor, Very nice indeed! We have become so much accustomed to the helplessness of the state that any stupid act of zealots does not surpriseus ,be it Hussain or Rushdie or Raj Thakrey nearer home.What a shame that the organisers of Jaipur Literary festival were running scared of goons ,which entered the " safe'venue under the full protection of state government.It was pathetic to hear them whining about the upholding the values of free speech in our democracy. One feels saddened,the state government has utterly failed in the governance! V.K.Gupta ________________________________ To: Undisclosed-Recipient@...

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Talking about the ban, I can easily ban half of India without batting an eyelid. So I would not really like to bother myself with this ban business. Yes, out of all the Indians, I definitely want to ban one person. He is Dr Kishore Shah. Why? I want him banned for not writing enough and frequently. Bharat ________________________________ To: Undisclosed-Recipient@...
