Guest guest Posted September 16, 2001 Report Share Posted September 16, 2001 http://www.cnn.com/2001/US/09/16/gen.mesa.shooting/ Hi all; we see and experience a lot of sentiments flowing in the uS against people who were the Turban ( Sikhs ) and against people who are vaguely arabic looking... I have personaly experienced this and so have my friends. these incidents however small /minor point to a growing hatred among certain anti social elements in the US culture... let us try to get together and think of ways to counter this with reason and education . Let us know what you feel should be done . -bala Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 18, 2001 Report Share Posted September 18, 2001 Sri Raamajayam Dear Sri.Balaji, AdiyEn would assume this forum is predominantly focussed for SampradAyic understanding/discussions. Anyway since you had addressed an issue, AdiyEn would make a short statement to prevent many more mails arising out of this topic. AdiyEn think making ourself positively visible could help in situations like this. How to make ourself positively visible, *Going with the flow - wearing T-shirts condemning terrorist acts, organizing blood donation camps, sell tickets/labels for firefighters/nationbuilding, flying American flag and any other act that can be understood as a value addition to the community at large. We have to display the same motivation as we had for Indian Earthquake disaster relief drives etc. *Publicize stray acts of violence on Sikhs and other innocent people in the print/broadcast/internet media, expressing our resolve to be with the nation in resolving the crisis. *Move with company - Be accompanied by a person who can help misconception. And in general, *Make ourself safe - Avoid disturbed/sensitive areas *Avoid Speculation, finger-pointing discussions on this topic. balajic [balajic] Monday, September 17, 2001 5:38 AM Hate cimes against Indians in US http://www.cnn.com/2001/US/09/16/gen.mesa.shooting/ Hi all; we see and experience a lot of sentiments flowing in the uS against people who were the Turban ( Sikhs ) and against people who are vaguely arabic looking...

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2001 Report Share Posted September 18, 2001 Hi Balaji, Jai SriManNarayana, I have been listening these incidents occuring in various parts of united states through my friends. We should stay calm and stay away from such people. We should not quarrel with anyone who may have wrong notion about us. Time only will tell who is wrong and who is right. THanks.
