You can see from the number of interacts nobody gives a rat`s ass about this issue.

You are asking the public to address their letters to Ms. Sonia Gandhi Dr. Manmohan Singh as if they are Siamese twins attached at the hip or some other part of the anatomy. This itself is proof of your chamcha-giri toward the Nehru-Gandhi clan as opposed to the Jarawas.

I am wondering when the Jarawas will be clssified as a Scheduled Tribe eligible for government quotas. The fact that Hindus had no history of oppressing them should be no bar to the Jarawas receiving quotas...after all, Indian Muslims are being offered quotas despite oppressing Hindus.

Keep up the good work. Start next on a campaign for the cannibals of the Nicobar islands.

Yaaaaawn!
