Theos-Talk Archives (June 2009 Message tt00452)

Dear Mr. Ramadoss,

You are from beautiful India yourself, and as I wrote to you some time ago, I have lived there too! So you, out of all people,  should know that in your culture and tradition,  people find it extremely difficult to come out ito the open, to step forward, in particular when it is about questioning or correcting an authority. Hierarchies (there is another word for that system) are still very much installed in Indian society, I am sure you're aware of that. So it is not surprising some are afraid, and hide behind anonimity.

Concerning Mr. Keith Fisher from Australia, Mr Ramadoss, I only wished you were a little more prudent. I fully agree with you, he has been forthright, Aussies would refer to him as ' a fair dinkum bloke',  but have you really and thoroughly studied his clarifications? Have you really...?
