Subject: Traveling via Bombay .. info needed in context of current disturbances
Organization: Digital Equipment Corporation
Date: Tue, 12 Jan 1993 16:01:01 GMT


I plan to travel to Bangalore Via Bombay next week. If anyone *knows* of 
experiences of someone they know who has travelled this route in the last 
week since the disturbances began, can you please post or send me a note ?
Of course I will be most interested in experiences of switching airports,
traveling by IA or EW, etc. I have a IA "confirmed" ticket, but I expect
it to come of very little use. Many thanks in advance.

Tarapore plant uses enriched Uranium (enriched in U-235) whereas other
plants use natural Uranium (0.7 percent U-235) with heavy water as
moderator.  I dont think there exist any power plants which uses 
Thorium.

Write to local newspapers. This is a very powerful tool. There is a column in
San Jose Mercury News that is particulalry useful (i don't remember the name)
 You may call them and find out more about this. They then deal with the dealer directly.

And make sure that you keep a copy of all these letters. And give the exact

An American colleague of mine who saw the program said that
such a marriage would constitute "statutory rape" under US Laws.

I am very proud of my motherland; however, I am truly ashamed of
one thing and that is treatment of children in certain situations
in India. Even after 50 years, our bloody politicians cannot
pass laws that will come down with a very heavy hand and without
mercy on people who perpetrate (a) child marriage, (b) child
labor (I am truly ashamed of what goes on in Sivakasi, and,
this is the MOST heinous crime: (c) children employed as bonded
labor in stone quarries. Why cannot we make examples of a few
of the perpetrators, give wide publicity to it and put down
these practices down ruthlessly?

I have no love for the US media. Anyone whose knowldege of India
is limited to these will have a totally distorted view of our country.
But still, it hurts a lot to see my country portrayed in this manner
and when you know that the particular episode is true.

apnews reports:
	   SOPORE, India (AP) _ Hundreds of people defied an army-enforced
curfew Thursday, pouring into the streets to protest the deaths of
52 people killed by security forces in one of the worst massacres
in Kashmir.
	   Witnesses and residents said the victims were killed Wednesday
when troops fired indiscriminately on civilians and set fire to
Sopore's main fruit market while hunting for Muslim militants.
Doctors said they treated 300 people for burn and bullet injuries.
	   In a statement Wednesday, the government said an ammunition dump
was hit by gunfire during a clash with the separatist guerrillas,
starting fires that killed most of the people.
	   But state police chief Balwinder Singh Bedi conceded that many
people were killed by the security forces. ``This is most
unfortunate,'' he said, adding that the state government had
ordered an inquiry.
	   Separatists have been campaigning for the past four decades to
set up an Islamic nation in the northern state of Jammu-Kashmir.
More than 5,600 people have been killed since the movement turned
violent three years ago.
	   On Thursday, about 1,000 people defied a curfew in Sopore,
storming into the streets chanting anti-India slogans as riot
police looked on.
	   ``I saw soldiers throwing kerosene at a bus and a car,'' said
Ghulam Rasoon Gar, a businessman whose grocery store was gutted by
the fired Wednesday.
	   The government said more than 250 shops and 50 houses, two buses
and three cars were destroyed in the blaze, which was still
smoldering when reporters were allowed into the town on Thursday.
	   General strikes were enforced in at least six other towns, where
shops were shuttered and roads were blocked by thousands of youths
chanting ``We want independence!''
	   Women and old people converged on mosques to protest the deaths.
	   Jammu-Kashmir is India's only state with a Muslim majority.
Nationwide, Hindus account for 82 percent of India's 875 million
people, and Muslims 12 percent.
	   An official statement on Wednesday said 45 people were killed.
But residents said Thursday they pulled seven more charred bodies
from the ashes of the market, and that they expected to find
another 20 to 25 more.
	   Jan Mohammed Parey, who runs a clinic, said he heard a blast
Wednesday, followed by gunfire. He said he then saw soldiers firing
indiscriminately at people.
	   Parey said he saw three soldiers in front of his clinic open
fire on civilians on the street before fleeing through a back door.
	   Lt. Gen. Ahmed Zaki, an adviser to Gov. Girish Saxena, visited
Sopore on Thursday, and refused to comment to reporters. Residents
of the town about 35 miles north of Srinagar, the state capital,
said he did not question any townspeople about the incident.

 This is an *extremely* good news. Petmota Humdo (a la Joyti) can divert
 the said amount of electricity consumption for domestic and other purposes.
 The influx of people from all over and Bangladesh is enormous. If Joyti
 does not want to repeat the Marichjhanpi incident of 1979, the he better
 get these stupid electric lizards into the museum and do something worthwhile
 instead of roaming the world with Chandan and Koyel/ Doyel/ Payel.
