I usually dont respond to other people'...Arjun,<br />I usually dont respond to other people's comments but your comment did make me uncomfortable as an indian and I can call myself a moderate nationalist..If we look at fellow indians and point fingers at them then we must treat everyone equally. How would you respond to the 1984 riots where "your own" people who have 15th as their independence day, killed innocent Sikhs with burning tyres around their neck in front of their own kids and btw ....these sikhs had come to India fleeing partition and shielded "us" in 1965 and 1971 wars...both had IDay on 15th....the danger is not from the folks who have Iday on 14th ..dont a policeman killing a poor man in police torture and his victim celebrate Iday on 15th ...didnt jessica lal and manu Sharma both celebrate this on 15th ...we have more problems inside our billion people household than a few people under a diff flag .....hope you see my prespective on this ...Manishnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16761020.post-87448726774287458222009-08-17T23:41:10.230+05:302009-08-17T23:41:10.230+05:30Manish;

Time we saw other Indias, na?<br /><br />Arjun:<br /><br />Thanks for the reminder. We did indeed get independence from a chunk of Punjab, Pathans, Sindhis, Balochis. Are there any others you have in mind? Btw, have you sent a note similar to the one you posted here to Jaswant Singh?FVnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16761020.post-25120280877210778072009-08-17T08:02:05.672+05:302009-08-17T08:02:05.672+05:30No. Not the 15th.
