y r u bringing religion in between??? even m a HINDU, however i still completely agree with wat james has mentioned earlier. It is indeed a tragic incident and i deeply condole an intellectual death. but now they are exaggerating... for god sake keep politics and religion aside. Prof. left India for foreign soil whn India needed him most. still no grudges ( was his personal decision). M sure he was a respectful US citizen thr and the US govt would have taken good care of his family member too. JAMES rightly mentioned... y r our funds being transfered for this particualr cause???? how much money was transfered to A/Cs of deceased ppl in afganistan or middle east (INDIANS who went thr for a small period of time to earn thr bread and butter)... this is a discussion board and you shld not use it for propogating religion caste political advantage etc etc ..... its time u start thinking like an INDIAN now, as till date even TN is a part of india ..
