Red Pascal: People like you scare me. Self righteousness like your is almost always based on half-baked knowledge or plain ignorance. But you guys always have the loudest and shrillest voices in any debate. How old are you? Claude Arpi has been living in India since 1974. He is the author of 7 books and countless articles in respected Indian journals on India and its neighbourhood. He has extensively written on Tibet and our own Kashmir problem. You should probably read at least some of them to realize that there is a world of knowledge you need to absorb before shooting off and bad-mouthing somebody who can teach you a lot about your own history and culture. If you don't agree with his points, voice your disagreement in a civilized manner. Don't bring every discussion on Rediff down to this level. Already, in any India-related internet forum worth its salt, the Rediff comments section is the butt of jokes because of the apalling quality of debate and childish jingoism, ultra-nationalism, crude religious bigotry and sometimes just plain racism. There's no need to add abuse of authors to that list.
