Please forward to as many people as possible.
It has come as a shocking revelation that Association for India's Development (AID) is connected to Communist Party of India (Marxist).

Dear Friends,
Reporting from Chennai about the Relief efforts on the Tsunami hit
areas.
After the initial shock and chaos, we are now quite well organized to handle the relief efforts. A number of organizations have started working together to handle the relief work - AID, TNSF, Pondicherry Science Forum, DYFI, Vidyarambam, Pratham and the PHM Organizations. We have formed a quick informal coalition to coordinate this work. As of now the state level coordination is being done from the AID-India office in Gopalapuram Chennai.

As you can see, DYFI is listed as one of the organizations AID works with. DYFI or Democratic Youth Federation of India is the youth wing of Communist Party of India (Marxist).
A quick search on the internet reveals that AID hosted a page on TNSF (mentioned in the above email) and they made it a pre-condition for libraries to be associated with an organization such as DYFI if they had to extend help.

"As a policy encourage libraries only where linked to such an
activity or to an active TNSF/AIDWA/DYFI/PWA group or activist."
This exploitation of poor people in order to recruit them as pawns in political power play is in very poor taste. This is a sad development as AID is a US based organization.
Please think twice before extending any support to AID.
