Really? Aapuni nisei aagor-diniya manuhor lekhiya
kotha koi dile' dei. ( You speak like a relic
from a distant past).
But I will tell you what: I STAND BY my comments.
You can do your home-work and tell us if I said
something WRONG., and show us how or why. That is
your only way out.
Oh, I know, you may not NECESSARILY have plans
for ethnic cleansing of the lungi-menace. But you
sure speak like some who have been involved in
such activities.
Did you not write: However, the "politically
motivated views" of these enemies are caught when
they write phrases like "Civilian invasion by
India" "Poor Bangladeshi "immigrants" looking for
job" --- these are obviously biased & motivated
opinions for the benefit of Bangladesh, ?
If you did, does it NOT mean that you do not want
us to look at these poor folks as human beings,
trying to survive? And if you did NOT, then why
don't you explain how or why? You sure have the
ability to express yourself, preach vedic-virtues
and wear your undying love to ALL on your
sleeves. What holds you back?
If I were in your shoes, I would defend my views,
explain them; instead of running for that cover
of hurt feelings.
Regards,
c
