**** Hmmm!  I know I have been accused of holding 
all kinds of powers in this net over the years. 
But I didn't realize I could ask anyone jump into 
a well, for whatever reason; for that to be 
refuted in so many words. I was under the 
delusion that netters do have a mind and do use 
it, and some use it at least some of the time.

If so, why the ridiculously defensive arguments 
to deny what is wrong with India?  Perhaps the 
realization that India is unchangeable ? Thus the 
absurd attempts to deny their existence?

Or something more honourable?
