Re: # 1

nonsense, Hindus DO NOT need such ventures that tell story about Arabian sheikhs, rakkasas, nawabs and sipahis........

We should promote the art of Kathak that tells about Radha-krishan and other folk narrations like Pandvani Story Telling in order to promote hindu values amongst hindus......

Perhaps Pakis should promote Dastan-Goi in order to strengthen the momeen belief in Islamic values like Shariah, Kazis, Purdah etc.

"The most famous of these being the stories of a warrior named "Amir Hamza" and his battle against a self-claimed God named "Laqqa". Passed on to younger generations as a cherished skill, the art of dastan goi flourished in persia for around a thousand years before entering the indian sub-continent at the time of Mughals."

dastan Goi appears to be more of a propaganda story telling that promotes Islamic Values.

I doubt if Hindus need to learn or even listen to such Arabic and Islamic Dastaans.

That may your shot is getting good PR than asias nonworking higest shooting foundation, they said it had high take compressor. Still people to not understand only no tech works here. Our misfortune of stolen parts of 230 million rs foundation. Your fire work will go for hopefully some time before high tech something fails.

Madaniji, look at it this way. This has multiple advantages in that it boosts Indian moral in a 'yes we can' kinda way and it creates additional revenue potential for Indian space research organization.

Indian people can put money in such ventures and makes their misereable life better with entertainment that burning millions of Rupees on space rocket and sending machine to moon to get some useless pictures. Now if some body is short on sugar he needs sugar not sending roxcket to moon.
