<!--QuoteBegin-rajesh_g+Jan 25 2006, 12:45 AM-->QUOTE(rajesh_g @ Jan 25 2006, 12:45 AM)<!--QuoteEBegin--><!--QuoteBegin--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->I cannot begin to express my displeasure at the kind of attack made by Mr Baldauf against the American Hindu parents. The thrust of the article (starting with the title) has been to present the American Hindu parents as extremists and completely wedded to their Indian origins. Well Mr Baldauf, American Hindus are as American as anybody else and hence as deserving of their rights as anybody else.

Mr Baldauf, American Hindus go to American schools and the school curriculums have been totally unfair to the American Hindu students, inspite of the California SBE promising that their curriculums will instill pride in students about their heritage.

Am I to think that, according to Mr Baldauf, American Hindus are second class citizens ?

Dear Editor,

If indeed your publication intends to present a fair portrayal of the issue it would behove your publication to post links to a website which has been instrumental in expressing the other side of this debate. Below is the link to that website.

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Dear Scott:

In this message I have included a sampling of reactions from Yahoo readers where your story in CSM "India history spat hits US" was featured. These reactions appeared on Yahoo during the day time - most likely by people with access to a computer during working hours. In short, they all appear to be mostly educated Americans making these comments. It is sad, given the tone of your story you think ordinary parents - who want to protect their children from similar school bullies - are "Hindu nationalist revisionists", "(not)qualified to write textbooks", "pro-Hindu activists" and what not. Opposing them or those who have given rise to people who have made comments on the Yahoo website, according to you are "elite historians". Funny way of looking at people, Scott - maybe some day I'll understand how it is done.

Well here you go, the reactions at Yahoo. Thank you for making our little children hide their face in shame.

--Hin dos and don'ts
--cows and cali
--history? they don't know their own....
--india a sh1t country
--Aryans Did Exist
--ARYANS = MASTER RACE
--Teach Dotheads drink cow piss



The above are a small sampling of subject headers of the reactions to the story. The actual messages actually make me puke. Yahoo comments are constantly in a state of flux, but at the time of writing, they were available at:

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->As a supporter of Christian Science Monitor (CSM) and having endorsed CSM petiton to secure the release of CSM journalist Ms. Jill Carroll, I am exteremely disappointed to note that CSM has taken the same bigoted racists position which we are all fighting against in case of Ms Carroll.

The kind of bigoted-hate-filled vitriol against Hindus that this article has generated on Yahoo would have made certainly made the Nazi propaganda minister proud.

Congratulations to Baldoaf and his racists friends at IER (Indo-European Racists), they've just alienated couple million hindus from CSM and given CA textbook issue just the shot in arm that it needed.

Editors/Publishers at CSM just doesn't seem to get it, does it? Friends and family of Jill Carroll should question as to why CSM endorsing FOSA on it's website - a group with clear links to jihadis and the freedom loving people of United States, Iraq, Israel or India.

Some articles on-line in regards to this issue which Mr. Baldoaf conveniently missed referencing.
