[Assam] Maoists threaten supporters of bauxite mining in Visakhapatnam

Hi Uttam,

way?

Hehehe! Such good news probably hasn't reached the Maoists yet! :-) I'm sure
they will be thrilled.

And I'm sure worldwide there are enough people ready to criticize the US on
many fronts, and sometimes rightfully so. But in the end of the day, they so
badly want to copy what the US does. This goes for both countries and
people.

And "go West young man, go West" still holds, I guess :-)
