What is Mr. Kukreti's point?  That I am a Leftist?  My objection to Mr.
Garg's gratuitously rude use of "rabid socialist"  was in part a defence
of
Mr. Guptara who is the one who critiques "Hindu fanatics", and I am on
record at IPI about two years ago critiquing Mr. Guptara's use of the
term
"fanatic" in my defence of the new PM at the time, Mr. Vajpayee.

I think the problem here is a classic one where the Left and Right enjoy

trading insults with one another, while the classical liberal is left
pleading the cause of reasonableness in between.

May I also request Mr. Kukreti to identify himself a little better by
his
name and address other than his home.com email address?
