   Raj! I understand your anguish regarding this explosion of population. 
   But do you realise who tries to OPPOSE poulation control measures 
   in INDIA in the name of religion? And I think Arun Shourie has written
   much about these pressing problems since he started his journalistic career.
   And he  is continuing on the same very lines. CONTAINING the ISLAMIC 
   FUNDAMENTALISM  in India. Babri Structure is one face of the very same
   fundamentalism. Opposition to constitution and law of the land is 
   another face. Creating mini-pakistans thru-out the country is another face.
   And these problems are THE PROBLEM OF OUR NATION and that is the main 
   obstacle in progress. 

   (Census: Muslim population has increased from 10 percentage at partition
    time to 14%  currently. )

    MOST  IMPORTANT FACTOR OUR  PERVERTED POLITICS and POLITICIANS. How could 
    one Ignore the dis-ease in the name of present ruling party, which has
    brought the country to this present state of affairs. 
    And if you have been following Arun Shourie, 
            "KEENLY WITH THE SAME VERVE AND VIGOR", 
    you can realise his commitment to NATIONAL cause.

   Do not start this again. It was some time back by some fanatics.
   People like you keep reminding the nation of these problems and let the 
   problem live, rather than  letting it die its natural death. Let me tell you 
   I FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE IN ANY PART OF INDIA, other than the mini-pakistans
   mentioned earlier, and LANGUAGE was never  a problem. I stayed in 
   Rajasthan, Delhi, interiors of Tamil Nadu, Andhra, Orissa. And I don't know
   why and where YOU FACED THESE problems. And by the way I think the language
   stuff is pretty blown up. I could always manage  the working-knowledge 
   within a few weeks of time and this meant reading, writing and speaking.

   Your present time-out (which I assume is an idea from P V Narasimha Rao's,
   Independence day address)  is not going to solve any of the problems YOU 
   HAVE MENTIONED. BECAUSE THAT SETUP will not be able to solve. The problem
   lies else where. It  is cleansing the setup, removing corruption and 
   upliftment of  Ideals not only in the setup but also among masses.
   SO THESE CANNOT BE ACHIEVED BY YOUR TIME-OUT. 

                                               And by no way by the 
   CORRUPT existing setup. DO YOU THINK THE  PRESENT POLITICAL SETUP 
   has THE MORALS and RIGHTEOUSNESS in setting up so. If given a choice,
   they will take the nation back to slavery if not English then ITALIAN.

   If we can set this dis-order right, we can tackle all our problems 
   much more efficiently. And I agree with your oppurtunity lost concept.
   AND THAT OPPURTUNITY is there right now. Try to put life back into nation.
   Restore the age-old system and remove the perversions of present day 
   socity.Let us all start our way toward RAMA-RAJYA rather than any lofty 
   stuff, which always keep happening. And we have been hearing this TRASH
   OVER THE PAST 47 years. FIVE DECADES maan. Don't you realise that.
