Deb Chatterjee, may be I was misunderstanding your stand on these issues.  
I have to admit, that some of the suggestions, that you have given here  
are worth considering. I don't know if NRIs can be that powerful force to  
influence govt. policies, or public opinion. But writing articles in  
Telegraph or India Today or Desh Patrika should at least bring some fresh  
prespectives. 'Bidesh Bhromon'notes by the so called leading bengali  
writers like Samaresh Majumder and Shankar are phony, worthless and in  
fact at times untrue. 

Thus, I agree with you we CAN do something even from here.
