  I highly doubt the death toll of the Hindus killed has even reached

no Hindu ever cares about them?  Don't get me wrong many of those 
Hindus were probably innocent people who were at the wrong place
at the wrong time, I for one totaly appose killing innocent people
because then you are no better than your enemy.  What bothers me
is that HUNDREDS of thousands of Sikhs have died (many of them

I wholly agree with the above.  Earlier a very regular reader of this group, I find
it disgusting to read the junk being posted on it nowadays.  

Without starting a flame war, I recommend that obsceneties be restricted to personal
accounts rather than on the group.  And discussions like <Indian Tits> and <Why 
Indian men watch pornography> also be discussed on a personal basis.

Please try to keep this group clean.

The above prologue is for some simple enlightening that you need. Raja
Raja Chola's maternal grand pop is a chalukya king, and  he inherited
the chalukyan empire also as the chalukyan king had no son.

Reference? any high school text in india. Even if you dont find it in any other

In any case, the way you argue (or shout ) you actually need some spanking from

I would think that the lawyers who refused to defend the accused are
all guilty of breach of professional ethics and have shown themselves
to be small and petty men and women.  Everybody but EVERYBODY is 
absolutely entitled to a sound legal defense and to my mind the 
only reason the various village lawyers did not take up the case was
that they may have feared for the so called patriotic and nationalist
thugs who would have tired to harrass and intimidate them for doing '
their professional duty i.e. defending the accused.  I do not think that
the bar association distinguished itself by this act of cowardice,
but its understandable.  what is not understandable is the self-satisfied
and gloating tone of the poster who do not seem to understand that
if India (i.e what was born in 1947) is to have any meaning at all, it
must be as a democracy and as a state where the rule of law prevails.
This kind of stupid patriotism is lethal for it raises the spectre of
un-informed mass opinion as the surest road to truth and that is a 
crock as anybody who has ever listened to a politician knows.  So what
if these people raised the pakistani flag?  Lets establish why it is a crime
if it is a crime (and my recollection of the CrPC does not seem to make
the display of a foreign flag a crime), or, if it is to be tried as sedition
or treason, let the court decide, before we condemn these people.'
I do not know the facts of the case personally, but its stupid for 
a bunch of people to gloat over the fact that lawyers are unwilling to 
protect the rights of accused persons, no matter WHAT the offence.

I whole-heartedly agree with that; I do feel that those who support
censorship of anything which offends them are definitely curtailing the
right to freedom of thought.  

After all, till something offends you, you dont try to censor it. And,
everything offends someone. So, if that kind of censorship is not opposed, I
can envisage a world where all thought is blanketed out.  

And, I find the whole business of writing to sysadmins distasteful. If you
dont like the contents of a post, a thread or an author, dont read the
stuff. That is *your* freedom of thought. But, dont blanket out someone
else's right to the same freedom to support yours. Doesn't that smack of
hypocrisy to everyone?
