[Assam] From Tehelka

Wed Mar 1 19:32:07 PST 2006

That is a poor example. There are a lot of naked people in Indian 
streets. Some dancing, and others just hanging out. I have seen them 
myself. Dilp Deka could be a Sadhu , high on 'bhang', a godman, in 
Digambari attire. Why should he be arrested? And what law-enforcer in 
his right mind would want to get a Digambar Deka on his wrong side?
