[world-vedic] Anti-Indian Campaign Enters Alternative Media

Dear Friends,The ongoing campaign against India has entered the western

alternative media. Mags from organic consumer to the dissedent voice are all

ignorantly publishing articles by Roy etc.I feel this is a very negative

development.With full respect to you all as professional journalists, many

Americans do not believe what they read in the mainstream media. However when

they read it in the alternative press they feel as if they are privy to

suppressed information and believe it.It is strange to read anti-Indian

articles in the NYT and then read the same rhetoric in an anarchist mag. INDIA

IS NOW BEING ATTACKED BY THE FULL WEIGHT OF THE WESTERN MEDIA. I don't know any

other country that is being targeted in such a broad way. Even Saudi Arabia has

strong allies and apologists in the western media. Though it may be savaged by

one branch another branch pats it on the back.So any one with credentials, such

as consumer safety advocates or agricultural experts that can contact some of

these well meaning(I hope) but gullible alternative media outlets, please do so

ASAP.INDIA NEEDS YOU NOW.Vrin ParkerThis is an information resource and

discussion group for people interested in the World's Ancient Vedic Culture,

with a focus on its historical, archeological and scientific aspects. Also

topics about India, Hinduism, God, and other aspects of World Culture are

welcome.Remember, Vedic Culture is not an artificial imposition, but is the

natural state of a society that is in harmony with God and the environment.Om

Shantih, Harih Om Terms of

Service.
