It is also beneficial to aver publicly, as Mihir has done below, that both Angana Chatterji and Akhila Raman are awoved India-bashers and carry very little credibility with either the people or the government of India and are also largely viewed with suspicion within the Indian American community. These people pretend to represent the Indian/Hindu community, even as their whole life's accomplishments are soaked in the blood of innocent civilians. Gulam Nabi Fai is a well known pro-Pakistani activist who has repeatedly spread disinformation about India and Jammu & Kashmir. Why talk about arms race? The arms race is not what's killing people. Let's talk ground reality - innocents dying every day. What prevents these luminaries from talking about terrorism?

Angana Chatterji prides herself on this and hosted a talk on how Hitler worship was India's fastest growing religion. She also led the hate campaign against the India Development and Relief Fund - the top Indian American grassroots charity. Akhila Raman is another alleged communist who never ceases to criticize India. And all are on the same panel as Hoodbhoy and Nabi Fai. One of their cohorts at Stanford said that there is no such thing as a persecuted Hindu in Kashmir. > > Center for South Asia Studies [csasnet@u...] > Thursday, August 07, 2003 5:12 PM > > Forwarded Event Notice: > ------------ > > This Forum will serve as an Education and a Discussion > Forum on Kashmir; Speakers from India, Pakistan and Kashmir > will critically analyze the historical roots of the conflict > and the way forward from a balanced and liberal viewpoint. > > -------------- > > Topic: A Discussion Forum on Kashmir > > Organizers: > Dr. Angana Chatterji, > Professor, Social and Cultural Anthropology Program > California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS), San Francisco > > Mr. Zulfiqar Ahmad > Peace and Security Program Officer for South Asia > Global Peace & Security Program > The Nautilus Institute for Security and Sustainable Development, > Berkeley > > Speakers: > * Dr. Pervez Hoodbhoy, Professor of Physics, Quaid-e-Azam University, > Islamabad, Pakistan > > * Dr. Ghulam Nabi Fai, Executive Director, Kashmiri American Council, > Washington, D.C. > > * Ms. Akhila Raman, Researcher on the Kashmir Conflict, Berkeley, CA > > Followed by a Q&A and Discussion with audience. > > When: Friday August 22, 2003: 6 p.m. - 8.30 p.m. > > Where: > Namaste Hall > 3rd Floor, California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) > 1453 Mission Street, San Francisco, CA 94103 > > Organized by: > People for Peace in Kashmir > Social and Cultural Anthropology Program at CIIS, San Francisco > > > * FREE event; Limited seats, arrive early to ensure your seating. > > Directions and Parking at CIIS: > ---- > http://www.ciis.edu/welcome/contact.html > > Street parking is easily available around the block after 6 p.m. > > > About The Forum: > ------------------ > > After 56 years of Indian independence, Kashmir remains > the long-standing unresolved dispute which plagues > the subcontinent and has become the nuclear flashpoint, > bleeding the Kashmiris and the economy of both India and > Pakistan, driving them to a mad arms race. > > This forum will strive to present a balanced view on the > Kashmir 'problem' by taking a critical look at the role > both India and Pakistan have played in bringing the region > to its current state.
