<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->By asking that we will look like fools. What we need is to do what China has been able to do more and more of late.

Before asking anything from US Govt regarding the South Asia studies people, GoI should first deny visas to the most influential people among them and then pick off people one by one. You offer them access and funding by patriotic NRIs and pretty soon, there will be a strong lobby to fight the propagandists from within their own departments.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
