    Mr. Rajesh, I appreciate your humanitarian feelings. But in our own country, our own countrymen work as house maids to so called refugees, can not be digested. What do you say for such situation? National tragedy? Height of anomaly? That’s why I said, please visit ones, and look at those Palacious bungalows, where access is denied to Indians and poor Indian womankind working as house maids to these, so called land less people.

    There is a saying in Kannada ‘ Hottege hittilaadiddaru juttige mallige hoovu’. It was Nehru’s brainchild to accommodate Tibetans, for reasons well known to all and we paid price for that. Let’s not hate anybody, but learn to keep our interest also intact. Its not just mere sentiments, that puts our nation on right track, but right actions in the national interest. Our great Mahatma Gandhi fought against apartheid at SA. But still back home we have class war, oppression, dalit issues. Lets set our home right first. Let’s concentrate our energy to sort out these issues. Let every Indian, whatsoever may be his caste, religion, class get basic requirement,’Roti, kapda, aur Makan. Then I think we are justified in joining the band of world moral police.(?) I hope you will catch me right.

    Mr.Naik, I can understand your opinion but having given asylum does end our duty? There is no harm in sharing their pain and joining them. It should be every individual’s duty to raise voice against oppression, irrespective of race, color or religion.

    I feel it’s unfortunate not to see Indian faces among them. We should be the first to come to their support having had our own experience with British brutality during our own freedom struggle.
