Appasaheb, M M- you guys are right! Dr.Loganathan's family, and Minal's family DO NOT need the money. Minal was a grad student and probably in assisstanship, so it's irrelevant if she was wealthy or not, since all her expenses were paid. NOTE: POOR INDIAN STUDENTS ALSO MAKE IT TO US FOR HIGHER EDUCATION WITH SCHOLARSHIP. Indian Govt, the politicians just wanted to hoag some media attention- hence the announcement. But the monetary support that the two slain individuals are gonna get from the Federal US govt will be 100 times more than what Dr.Singh has to offer- but above all, you know what they gonna get from all over US? support, a big hug, admiration, love, condolences- a whole array of human emotion which is SO ABSENT in rediff boards. They will not probe about Minals personal life, if she was brown, Hindu, muslim, wealthy..lesbian..genious..nope..to them, to me..to all US univ students, she will be a bright light which was put out untimely by a strong gust of wind. Seriously, people, if you cant show some support then shut up and stop your discussion about braindrain, NRI not contributing money..unfair help by Govt..it really makes us, the Indians look bad..cuz the Americans ARE NOT rejoicing at the thought that 2 less Indians to steal our jobs and money..
