                   Bhote phor BJP
                   --------------


Jai ram ji ki.  Today, again unujual experience.  
Aj ujual after lunch I am returning to office, 
am sitting in phront of computer.  Eyes are 
clojing,  kundalini is flowing, meditation process 
gradually proceeding.  Sudden tapping noise waking 
me abruptly.  Phamous "mandrill" image on screen 
flashing on, off, on, off, monkey knocking on 
screen to attract my attention.  Bhaat is this?  
Why South American baboon wearing saffron langoti?  
Mandrill saying "Arre bhai, you are looking like 
Hindu.  With you I want to discuss about situajan 
in India.  Pleej bhote phor BJP."

Monkey cannot inphluence my vote.  When I start
moving away, desperate monkey is pulling out shiny
watch, swinging it on chain, is trying to hypnotize 
me.  Suddenly pheet cannot move.  My limbs are heavy.
Monkey dominating me by its sheer mental power.  I 
am pulled inside screen.  

Inside is phorest, lot many monkeys eating, playing, 
swinging in trees.  Saffron langoti monkey 
approaching with smile.  "Bhai, you know about 
Ayogya controversy.  Ayogya temple must be built
to bring back Hindus' self-respect.  Bhote phor 
self-respect.  Pleej bhote phor BJP."

Monkey proposal absurd, humiliating.  Why phor
different specie animal canvassing my vote?  By 
what law I am illegally hypnotized by monkey?  
Monkey conciliatory.  "Bhai, phorgive me.  In BJP 
there is no man, monkey.  BJP has place for everyone."  

Let me see.  Let us test monkey intellectual power.  
One question after another I am firing.  All the time 
I am arguing, probing.  Monkey easily clearing
all my doubts about BJP!  Only now I am realizing 
true greatness of BJP.  I must bhote phor BJP.

It eej time to go.  Monkey giving me Advani photo,
bringing lotus, issuing me trishul, saffron langoti.
I am congratulating monkey.  "With your monkey
friends, many bhotes you can canvass for BJP."
Tears rolling down monkey cheeks.  "Monkeys too
shrewd.  Only human beings I am able to convince."

   Islam was spread through force granted, but the majority of it was through

  I suggest that you immedeately get an almanac and look up some statistics.
Not even half of the worlds Muslims are Arabs. The majority of them are
South Asian, South-East Asian, and African. To suggest that Arabia is the
homeland of most Muslims is to say that Nepal is the largerst Hindu
country.

  Islam was not born to an oil-rich country. It existed before the Arabs knew
that they were floating on Black Gold. Islam has been attractive to many
people for other reasons (if you are interested in knowing I can teLL you).
I am not in the least bit trying to preach. My objective is to refute the
ridiculous claim you have made that Islam is somehow or another related to
oil.

   The travel agent is asking for 5% extra if I were to charge

	Talking about forward march, I presume you mean some Physics news.
	Well, here are 2 interesting news taken from PHYSICS NEWS UPDATE;
	A digest of physics news items prepared by Phillip F. Schewe, AIP
	Public Information, Number 111   January 21, 1993


SQUID DETECTORS OPERATING IN THE
MILLIATTOVOLT range have been able to measure a tiny
resistance in a YBaCuO thin-film superconductor, even in low
magnetic fields and for low currents  (F.C. Wellstood et al., 4 Jan.
1993 Physical Review Letters).  The resistance arises from noise
in magnetic flux lines which do seem to penetrate the sample even
though the external fields used are far below the critical field at
which penetration is supposed to commence.  By the way, although
the scientists in this Maryland-AT&T-Berkeley collaboration use
the prefix milli-atto to denote 10 raised to the -21st power, the
official name for this prefix is "zepto," or just z.  For those who
would go further yet, the name for 10**-24 is "yocto."  (Science
News, 16 Jan. 1993.)

HOW ELEMENTARY PARTICLES COME TO HAVE THE
MASS THEY DO is "the most important outstanding problem in
particle physics today," says Berkeley scientist Lawrence Hall.  The
standard model is not much help: indeed, certain of the known
particle masses are used as input parameters for the theory.  Hall
and his colleagues Savos Dimopoulos of Stanford and Stuart Raby
of Ohio State have advanced a new model, reworking parts of the
existing theories, which makes six specific testable predictions
(Phys. Rev. Lett., 30 Mar. 1992) on such topics as B-meson decay,
proton decay, and the top quark (their estimate for the mass: 188
GeV).  The top is being pursued at Fermilab and new proton-
decay experiments are being readied in Japan---the Super
Kamiokande detector---and Italy---the Icarus detector.  (Science,
8 Jan. 1993.)

	Forget the economic loss. The sheer destruction of human life and the

	a "revolution". And revolution about what? UCC? that could have

  I think the correct question to ask is how many of them are secular?
 Non I guess. If  a country has muslim majority, does it matter whether
 it is democracy or theocracy? Majority of muslims will always support
 Sharia and bla bla bla. Minority will suffer under muslim majority even
 in a democracy, because democracy means  a rule by majority.

Same thing in islamic countries.

I suppose India can be called as an Islamic country, with majority
Hindu population.

Nehru and his dynasty, whose vision was always a united India and Pakistan,
kept these laws of British colonial days, just in case.

On the other hand, I think Pakistan has modernized its laws.
