The fact is that there is so much to say at this point -- a lot has happened since all this began in early November (I have over 4000 files and emails in my California folder, and Michael Witzel I know has at least an equal number) -- that I'll stick for now to a few bare facts about events in the last month. This summer, starting after the Beijing Roundtable (to be held May 11-13), <b>Michael and I plan to finish writing a long article that attempts to cover every major side of the California case -- the links between the California Hindutva campaign and attempts to rebuild the faltering Hindutva movement in India (with the May 2009 elections in mind); </b> the enormous amounts of money and manpower that the Hindutva right pumped into their California plans, which included the production of massive documents and the use of high-priced law firms; the internationally coordinated smear campaigns aimed at Michael, Madhav Deshpande, and many others who took a public stand against the Hindutva groups (there is no doubt that the smears did keep a lot of people who shouldn't have from speaking out); the role that the Internet is playing in facilitating the organization of rightwing groups internationally, of which Hindutva groups are to my mind the most notable example; the phony Websites (including phony Dalit sites) planted by the Hindutva groups, which by itself suggests the scale of their financial operations; the financing of Hindutva groups in the US, including the use of corporate facilities (like those of Medtronic, Inc.) to distribute defamatory materials; the slow process of educating the press on the links between the case and events in India -- and so on. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I don't understand why Harvard professor and unemployed farmer is interested in Indian election?
What is their agenda?
They are neither Indian citizen nor Indian origin or married to Indian?
This is very serious and we should watch what their agenda is and who is supporting them?
Who are their bosses? Or hidden hand?
Are they part of some sort of conspiracy against India and its democratic process?
