Mr Pramadhnath Sastry,

Let me assure you that almost all NRIs here in the Greater Chicago area are in
full agreement with this advert. We, the NRIs, are sick and tired of anti-Hindu
elements in India who seek to destroy Hinduism. It is about time that our
government understood that it cannot treat the majority of India's population
as second rate citizens. As yuo live in India, you are no doubt aware that in
all cases it is the Muslims that start the riots. Yet our government does
nothing to stop them. Why this partiality towards the muslims? 

It is about time that we told the anti-Indian pro-pakistan muslims and our
anti-Hindu leaders that the HINDUS WILL NO LONGER TOLERATE THE INTOLERABLE,
THEY WILL NO LONGER ACCEPT THE UNACCEPTABLE AND THEY WILL NO LONGER BEAR THE
UNBEARABLE. 

Jai Hind.

Raj Dave
