Guest guest Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 Dear Amitabhji, I shall read your full mail some time later in the evening. Just read one name Arundhati Roy. Arundhtati Roy, Shyam Benegal,Satyajit Ray, Medha Patkar, amd you may add few more names here,(Dont want to waste time here by trying to remember such people.)These people have won laurels on the Public,National and International Arena, only by showing poverty.injustice and widowhood in India. Its like those painters who dont know how to paint but paint nude forms trying in to rope the moolah, thus, or like those poeple (Ex.Shobha De,Kamala Das) who have nothing else to sell but sex/porn in refined language for making money. I get disgusted with such great names. Thats my personal opinion between you and me since we are allowed to speak as India is a democratic country. regards, Bhaskar. , Amitabh Shastri <amitabh_shastri wrote: > > In a different vein - does karma help??? > > Helping the downtrodden is fine.
