If one wants to follow the EX-soviet Union way - sure - we could
do with a Gorbachev. But that would be disaterous. While the
Soviet Union was very 'young' - our history has had a longer span
of 'togetherness'.

The centre definitely needs to shed some of its powers. We are
a huge nation. The centre can not handle the nation effectively
and efficiently even if the entire nation co-operated. 

Breaking it down to many parts is really stupid though. A final
signal in the death of a civilization is its disentigration. 

M. Ghandhi et. al. were just the 'tip of the iceberg' in
installing some pride back into our nation and our GREAT
subservient 'culture'. I think a splitting up of the nation will
only lead to more fighting and less pride and dignity. More of
the history of the past 1000 years.

We only live in the cesspool we create (John Ainikkal, 1992).

This is obviously a case of the pretentious undergrad who in his juvenile
exuberance to copy Ed Crick's style and use it in future postings has
invented a rather rambunctious story about his intent to conduct a 
schizophrenic evaluation, a yarn which I might add would not convince a bunch

They might of thought that alloting the space to environmentalists trying to 
save the spotted owl might be a better use of the limited resources in an 
obscure college ( a realistic act you might say in a 'gorish' world). 
The 'superusers'obviously shared my belief that any unsupervised 
pschyoanalytical studies done by a sophomore based on 
postings to a network cannot be worth the bytes the information is stored on
and serves only as a means for obtaining questionable and fradulent results.
And then there is the question of the proper credentials ( and in your case 
they seem to be lacking woefully) to undertake studies of such a gargantuan
magnitude.

Movies can only be relied upon for entertainment. I did not draw any inference
from this movie. Most of what I know is from a book titled "The Deceivers"
by one George Bruce. Most of the cult members did what they did since they
felt it was their "religious duty". Also many feared a revenge from Goddess
Kali if they gave it up or helped stop it. They had their own secret code
language called "Ramaseeya" with which they could identify themselves.
Also each thug will press his mouth once and remove his hand rapidly to
see if another thug recognized it. If he didn't then he was a sacrificial
candidate. What is shown in this movie as bringing an urge to kill was not
mentioned in the book. Millions of people seem to have lost their lives
due to thuggee cults over centuries. No wonder India didn't see a population
explosion! (Just kidding). Some thugs had lost count of how many they killed.
One of the thugs says in the book that the number of his victims was somewhere
around a thousand. Once the killing season ended all thugs went about their
regular lives as though nothing happened. They had no sense of guilt or remorse
for what they did.

To the extent that how I spell my name is my own business my feeling is
A rose by any other name would smell just as sweet.  To the extent that
it affects other people's reactions, the spelling does matter.  Only the
other day, right here on sci someone referred to me as " you bengali
hindus".  To the extent that I would like strangers to divine my antecedents
from my name I would have to stick accepted conventions, wouldn't I?  And
that in North India requires that I not change too much from Sanjay.

Am I not allowed a mind of my own just because there are people there in 
India.  Can I not use my own judgement.  Do I have to go along with the

Boy, you are easy to please.  Let me draw you an analogy, and you tell
me how the situations are different.  Someone comes to your house, beats
the hell out of the occupants, ransacks the place.  In the process, he
moves your dumbbells, or whatever your favourite possession is.  After
a little while, the police arrive, and the fellow flees.  You are naturally
aggrieved, and rightly bear the guy a grudge.  Would you call moving 
the dumbbells back to their original position a reversal of all the
dis-graces that you suffered.  Would you deem that act avenging the
torture and brutalities of the invasion.  I don't see how changing the
names back is really any different.

And what about the followers of Islam who fought alongside you to shake
off the British oppression.  Must you betray their trust.

Boss, one thing I will say for you though.  For a guy with such extreme
views, you are refreshingly restrained in your language.  And that is
very good.

Kama Sutra is Oooold. Society changes its views.
Nobody says "SEX" is banned. (Our population speaks for itself. :)
Just more reserved about its expression in public.


If you don't mind me asking what is Kama Sutra????
