Article-I.D.: andrew.Aebh9Mi00VpFIDMFo0
Organization: Physics, Carnegie Mellon, Pittsburgh, PA


Depending on what I read, I get a different picture of what happened
in the recent communal (Hindu-Muslim) riots in Trivandrum. The Indian
press seems to suggest that a new fundamentalist organization, the
Islamic Sevak Sangh, was the immediate cause of the riots, the under-
lying reason being (i) the Babri Masjid dispute (ii) outside provo-
cateurs (Pakistan, Kashmiri ultras).

The Arab press reports that riots took place after the ISS chief was
injured in a bomb attack, and had to have a leg amputated in a
Trivandrum hospital.
And what I read today in a letter from Trivandrum leads me
to believe that the riots were a deliberate pogrom.
Muslims' houses were burnt, and where the house wouldn't
burn (being of pukka construction) explosives were brought
to raze the structure. ( The driver (a Hindu) who lived in
a Muslim area, and whose house is the only one left standing
told my correspondent this.) My cor. says -- these things
are not being talked about in the press..., and wonders why.

	Sorry if I offended your feelings Balaji. I have no intention of doing
	anything about Madras on part of Andhra Pradesh. As I have written in
	that post, my statement was made on the assumption that Madras at that
	time was a Telugu majority area. [That was a hearsay from my grandpa.]
	If that was so, then by the logic of linguistic division, Madras should
	have been part of AP. I repeat, *should have been*. Since Gopal, in
	another post, proved my assumption to be wrong, I WITHDRAW MY 
	STATEMENT. I have no intention of raking up any wars between Telugus
	and Tamils or AP vs. TN. I am only asking for an honest examination
	of the *facts* of that time. I assure you that I am *quite* happy with
	the present borders of the two states. Since you have drawn a parallel
	to the Kashmir situation, let me say that even in that instance, I am
	quite happy with the present division of Kashmir and Punjab, and hope
	that Indian union, in its present state, will continue to be so for a 
	long time to come.

	Hope that helps clarify some of my intentions and apologies to you and
	all Tamilians who felt offended by my statement (which was purely
	unintentional).

			Mother(?) India

	    The latest census results are in
	    The health minister needs an Anacin

	    Every sixth homo sapien
	    is now officially an Indian

	    But the news doesnt get any better
	    The male of the species is the pacesetter 

	    For every 100 of the males
	    we now have 93 females

	    Is that Nature's freak ?
	    A genetic imbalance streak?

	    No! This one is no accident
	    a result of society's sick bent

	    Amniocentesis to predict the sex
	    Abort the baby if it is a double X

	    7999 out of 8000 foetuses aborted
	    were females systematically sorted

	    So Mother, where did we go wrong ?
	    Have we turned a blind eye to you all along ?

	    We sang paeans to your feminine grace
	    proudly talked of your maternal ways

	    Motherhood raised to the highest glory
	    Woman's strength and compassion our proud story

	    We swore by our mother's milk
	    risked life and limb to protect our ilk

	    And yet we commit systematic mayhem
	    due to genetic dictates - what a shame !!

	    So who is shaping our wants
	    who is really wearing the pants ?

	    Where did we form these grotesque needs ?
	    What makes us decide what we want to breed ?

	    Our history is replete with female figures
	    each one makes us proud, makes us feel bigger

	    Why havent we learned from our past
	    Our boat is still sailing because of the female mast

	    And lets not blame the poor and the uneducated
	    Determining the sex of a baby is a middle-class aid

	    Shouldnt we at least ask the little baby
	    if she would like to live, maybe ?

	    Tell her that you cannot afford the dowry
	    Which is the reason you are ending her misery

	    She may give you a gentle smile
	    Tell you not to worry for a while

	    Tell you that she does not want to live
	    just to get married and she does believe 

	    That she was here to lead her life
	    and not just be somebody's wife

	    Mother of mine, do you silently grieve
	    When you see the state of the Indian Eve ?

Ah, another non-indian ventures into SCI, only to be rebuked by the 
ignorant, xenophobic denizens here who look down on all
that is Western, although they get their education in the US or Canada.

Mark, your input will not be appreciated here as long as it is critical,
or even honest.  For an outsider to be appreciated, you must write only
of the past glories of India, the spicy food, the colo(u)rful clothing,
and the exotic dance and music.  Glowing drivel about the Hindu spirituality
is also welcome.  Frank discussions about the culture however, are strictily
taboo, and will elicit the rage of all the "defend-India" zealots who are
too narrow-minded to see the options presented by other societies.

OK. Guys,

I know that the original discussion was about hinsuism and budhism, still
I feel to say some words about Sikhism. 

The fact is that sikhism IS an arm of hinduism. Just that Lord Ram is 
mentioned over 2000 times in the Granth Sahib proves that!
The sikhism has a lot in common with Hinduism, and I believe that it has
partly been derived from Hinduism, with the Gurus contributing to it!

The sikhism is a streamlined version of hinduism. The Gurus did deffend
hindus, against the muslims, when they tried to convert them into muslims
with force. So there are no reasons for hindus & sikhs to fight!


And at last;

Hindu, Muslim, Sikh , Isai, sabhi to hay bhai bhai!
