Yowtzer!  I had the opportunity to speak with dchatterjee via the system
yesterday.  He thinks I'm an MSA assassin in cahoots with M. Ibrahim.  Got
replies from scores of netters who believe strongly, as I do, that censorship
sucks, but rabid freaks belong in safe places. ;-)  Yet others ranging from a
yee-haw in Stanford (chaw) to another loon in Toronto think that I am a
pompous, self-styled policeman who "needs a life".  More of my admirers
applauded my "heroism".  Some weasel thinks that I should go to CHINA, oops
sorry, "fuck off to China!"  Let me guess - this has to be a pale, albino
hacker who wilts in daylight, and whose idea of an orgasm is to be a wizard
playing D&D with his albino friends in a local video arcade.  His
interpretation of First Amendment rights is to able to say whatever he wants to
say whenever he wants to say it.  That's cool - but the First Amendment didn't
include the obvious i.e. while your rights of expression should be protected,
why burden someone else with this expression, when there really isn't any moral
or religious point to be made. (No, you won't find this in the Bill of Rights.)
Now as some brit-zit pointed out to me that my inclinations were like the
IRA's, to compare the cause of the IRA with the cause of dbose, dchatterjee or
mibrahim is quite funny.  But then this brit-zit obviously plays D&D with the
albino hacker!!

The fun continues!  DBose sends me warm regards along with some choice words,
moans to me about the agony Ibrahim has put him (and his wife/kids) through,
tells me a woeful tale of another couple in Toronto whose "WIFE DIVORCED HER
HUSBAND BECAUSE HE WOULDN'T PROTECT HER FROM E-MAIL ABUSE" - yeah right! - 
as justification for verbally attacking Ibrahim, and caps his Holiday Wishes
telling ME "to have a cold shower!!!"  This guy has slipped into delirium.

Some other nimrod calls himself the Good Samaratin and tries to explain what it
means to Ibrahim, who is obviously in need of an Intensive English Course!  The
final clown in the scheme is that super-hero MICROBRAIN, who is the protector
of Western civilization and freedom of expression as we know it, the sinophobe,
who warmly embraces other rabid loons, all champions of free speech mind you,
and offers them solace in the form of free access to his very own bulletin
board, should they get axed from sci and USENET because of my diabolical 
efforts at censorship! 

Final note:  the only person who made any sense was some true visionary
(doesn't take much to be one on this net) who told us all to take out the
popcorn, grab an ice-cold drink, sit back and watch the fun!

One has to remember the august history and geography of the 
College Street Coffee House. The College Street Coffee House
boasts of being located where the Albert Hall once was, where
orators thundered and history was made. On the other hand that
fledgeling pretender, the Jadavpur Coffee House, is tucked away
in a dingy corner of a supermarket! How can the two be 
compared! :)

Samaresh Majumdar's novel "Kalbela" describes an interesting
incident where someone tells the protagonist, Animesh, that
if you sit in a table at the College Street Coffee House and
place your palms across both ears, you can still hear the
roll and thunder of the distant speeches delivered in the 
Albert Hall in the days of yore :) Yours truly has also tried
the experiment :)

Since you really want to broaden your horizon I suggest you contact
Mr. Arun Gupta at Carnegie Melon (O Arun where are you!) or pick up
any book on the history of science.
To make India great you do not have to rob others of their due. It is true
that some of the Arabic knowledge came from India; but most of it came from
Greece. During the reign of the Abbasid khaliphs ( Yes, the great Harun-Al-
Rashid) all the greek texts were translated into Arabic. They kept the flame
of knowledge alive as Europe plunged into darkness. The original theoretical
contributions by the Arabs have been sporadic with ocational geniuses like
Al-Farabi, Omar Khayiam and Ibn-Sina (Some of them are from then, Persia).
The major contribution of the Islamic culture is the experimental method
which blossomed into the scienttific method during the renessiance.
The major Hindu or Indian contribution has been to the theory of numbers and
pure mathematics. But unfortunately Hindus never had any systematic means to
communicate and all of them had to be rediscovered during the renessiance
from scratch by Euler, Lagrange et al.
HOpe this helps you to get less paranoid.
Love
Arindam

Directions
~~~~~~~~~~

O'er the overbridge,
turn left,
press the clutch,
slide down into OMP chak,
and take the second left
on the roundabout.
Watch out 
for the drunken truck drivers
zooming uninsuredly
from Cal to Madras
and the buses 
edging each other out 
for Paradeep passengers,
who are pestered 
at the bus-stop  
by lepers 
pushing their bandaged stumps 
for char-annas.

Keep straight,
and soon shall you come
upon Chauliaganj,
a small village-town
where the highway
narrows into a street
as it tries to wedge
between two temples 
and where you will likely
find two trucks
jostling, 
while vendors peddle
bindis and sindoor to fat ladies
waiting patiently 
in the rickshaws 
for the lane to clear.

On your right  
you shall pass the renovated Lakshmi theatre 
where the chaat and golguppa-wallahs
will be readyng their ware
for the morning show. 
And on your left you will
crosss the big flour mill,
letting out its waste
into a waste-pond 
that stinks like wet cow-dung,
and where pigs wallow 
luxuriantly  all day.
Be careful there, 
for many a scooter-accident 
has been caused 
by squeamish drivers who choose
to pinch their  noses 
and prefer to
drive over a pothole onehanded.

Keep on straight,
and you shall pass through
NayaBazar where  the
villagers display their
vegetables and fishermen
ply their morning's catch
to memsahibs and saars
who  patiently haggle 
until they can get a good deal
on 650 grams of sweet freshwater
fish weighed with stones,
on a rickety handmade balance.

But keep you straight, my friend
until you reach Vidhyadharpur
where you'll see the trucker's dhabas
selling samosas and alu-chops,
and the repair shops with blackened
boys playfully wielding flame torches.
You'll see the canal on your right
though its not polite to look
at the people relieving themselves
and the wet blouseless women 
returning from their bath.

And keep your eyes skinned now,
for you shall soon be upon the
CRRI Campus with its gentle
rice fields and  mango groves.
Watch out for the entrance on your left
where it says 
Welcome to the Central Rice Research Institute, 
Cuttack
in three languages - though the
Hindi and Oriya versions could do
with another coat of paint.

It is not too difficult to direct
you to my home from there,
but ask you anyone on the road
for my place,
and you shall not have trouble,
for here everybody knows my  name,
and they'll be glad you came.


Cheers.

apnews reports:
	   BOMBAY, India (AP) _ Mobs burned alive at least four people
today in renewed Hindu-Muslim clashes in India's largest city, a
month after riots swept the nation over the demolition of a mosque
by Hindu nationalists.
	   Police said 17 people have been killed and nearly 100 injured in
three days of mob violence. At least 97 people were arrested in
connection with the stabbings, rioting and looting which began
Wednesday night.
	   A round-the-clock curfew was clamped on Jogeshwari, a slum
populated by Hindus and Muslims, after four people were doused with
kerosene and set alight Friday morning.
	   United News of India, however, said 10 people were set on fire.
Details were sketchy, and it was not immediately clear whether the
victims were Hindus or Muslims.
	   Riot police and soldiers marched through several Bombay
districts, which have been under night curfew for the past month.
	   Police fear further clashes as thousands of Muslims prepare to
block roads for the noon prayers Friday, the Muslim sabbath.
	   The Hindu-Muslim violence began after Hindu zealots demolished a
16th century mosque in the holy town of Ayodhya. More than 1,200
people were killed nationwide in the ensuing clashes.
	   Many Hindus say the mosque was built on the site of an earlier
Hindu temple marking the birthplace of the warrior god Rama.
	   The Supreme Court has been asked to collect evidence on whether
a temple once stood on the site, to determine whether a mosque or a
temple should be allowed on the site.
	   The December riots were especially violent in Bombay, where 202
people were killed, mostly Muslims shot by police to quell
disturbances. Police now say the mobs are now attacking one another
with knives and stones.
