You have again made a mountain out of a molehill. One tiny statement from Madhava Gosh, who has made thousands of other acceptable and helpful and sensitive statements, should be simply overlooked instantly. Forget about it. It is minor minor minor. A waste of discussion time in this conference. Madhava Gosh knows exactly what he was saying and knows exactly when to say it. Out of the thousands of times he has opened his "mouth" how many times has he stated something like this? Give it a break! When you see a big full moon do you see the spots or the big bright moon?
