Dear fellow netters,

    Happy Dasara to you all.

    I would like to share a lyric written by me on behalf of Dasara. I 
    wish that many of you may appreciate the underlying theme.

    Durga.. Kanakadurga
    Sakti.. Adiparasakti
       Palinchva?
       Maa Moralakinchava??

       Dusta, Danava, Durah:ankara
       Mahishasurulanu Mardhinchi...
          Mammu Kapadi
          Santi Nosamgavu Anadu.

          Pisachulu, Naraasurulu
          Madamto, Mattuto - Eenadu
             Amayakulanu.. Asahayulanu
             Visha Dhamstralaku Balichesunte -

                Ha Ha Kara, Akrosa, Rodhanalu
                Neeku Vinipinchaledaa? Talli!
                   Kanneru Kaluvalai Parutunte

                          Trhisula Dharinivai
                          Abhaya Sankam Pooristhu -

Mr.Doki,
	I think it is high time you hold your foul mouth.   LookS 
like your are enjoying the attention you are getting in the net for 
your posting. . The usage of words like moron and your
unsuccessful attempts to paint yourself pink are understood by the vast
majority of the netters as nothing else but a vieled attempt to satisfy
your inherent feeling of jealousy, hatred for the community.  I am sure
you found this a wonderful opportunity.
	Your postings time and again reflect the crassness,
narrow-mindedness and meanness, with utter disregard to others'
feelings. 
	If everyone else is a moron, you are no better than pure
garbage. Tragically you have access to a computer and are aware of the
existence of SCIT. If you want a piece of advice as to how to use the\
computer, maybe there are lots of kind-hearted people around who will
help you. May be I can also lend a hand. (Reforming atleast one
uncivilized person can be life-time achievement, sometimes...). 
 Unfortunately it is people like you that are ruling the roost back
home and I think even traces of people like you on the net can vitiate a
very holy atmosphere.

First of all I don't limit my horizon to school textbooks. Next, the history
of Andhra is not covered at all in our school curriculum.

At the outset, the claim does not sound very believable. Who is this 
historian you are referring to? Has he uncovered any new evidence? 
How did he arrive at the conclusion? If my guess is right there
is either a lapse in either your own memory or the person you
are referring to is of questionable credibility. Anyway, I'll wait

Yes, Potluri garu, I fully agree with you. Let me take this
opportunity to clarify few thinks for SCIT readership. I, like
many others, just ignored the postings of this fella(so called
Doku) and his buddies at WPI and tried my level best to refrain
from responding to his provocations. However, one of his chamchas(spoon)
is trying to bring to SCIT the  things I said of them on SCI.
As to the question of why I said such things, I felt that thats the
way I should respond to this fellow, because seemingly he knows
Telugu. As sAmEtha goes, mullunu mulluthOnE Theeyali. Hope the SCIT
readership understand the circumstances which made me to respond in
a strong wording.

ho...

so what is to discuss on this issue? i see no relevance to this topic in any
 advancement of any culture (in particular those in india).  why does
 caste matter at all? after all it is not even a *REAL*
hindu belief. like most religions it was brought on by power hungry 
intellectuals who needed some control over the populous. 

it is sad that even today, in india, there are many factions who are 
so hung up on their views being right. to be ignorant of the caste 
system and to accept its existence as something to work against
(by not using as a social platform) are two different things. 

acceptance and prespective are not only good in a local (i.e.
caste system) structure, but should i.m.h.o. be more widely practiced
by all peoples of the world. 

i am not saying that those who have brought this in as an issue are
doing in wrongly, but i feel that use of such a topic in some humorous
sense is very insensitive. did the joke about union carbide ever sound
funny to an indian? was it ever excepted as a joke (it was not by
me)? if we are to advance as a society, we must make such remarks
obselete. such remarks are clearly a symbol of distinction between
peoples (and a distinction i.n.h.o that is uneccesary).

Very interesting! Sreehari Nimmala also said this in a previous
article:

nimmala> Nee guddhala modda. OrE sanyasi, neeku pOye kAlam vacchindhira
nimmala> dunnapOtha. 

I'm curious to know if there is anything equivalent to this proverb in
Tamil. 

I appreciate your help in advance.
