... since my index is down to zero because i have upset the editor-in-chief with pieces of sarcasm bordering on truth, i have no option but to misuse my i-log to defend my position. it is an interesting situation on chowk where charges are made against interactors by the editor-in-chief and before they can clarify, they are silenced by reducing the index to zero...very machiavellian and very effective if i may say so...here is what i posted my response which was filtered out...

madam versey...
you said in your #107..."These are petty conspiracy theories, but one did not expect better...’ this was in response to my earlier comment that :you, salim chauhan and hindoo right wingers are doing a good job of hate pakistan. if i am indulging in conspiracy theory as you allude, pray tell us why is this pakistani writer zahid husain, writer of Taj Mahal is a mirage, crying about your openly biased stand... it would be interesting to see your response...the easy way out would be to delete this interact as well...as the poet said:

tumhi qatl bhi karo ho
tumhi lo sawaab ulta

i do not think it is taj mahal being released in Pakistan, it is MUGHAL E AZAM...

UNFORTUNATELY MY ARTICLE WAS CNSORED BY THE EDITORS AND DID NOT PUBLISH IN ITS ENTIRITY. I WOULD RATHER NOT HAVE IT PUBLISHED- A CENSORED PIECE. PUBLICATION, IF I HAVE ANY OBJECTION TO YOUR CENSORSHIP…

WHAT WAS WRONG LETTING THE READERS KNOW HOW THESE YOUNG MUSLIM ARTISTS FEEL LIVING IN INDIA AND SUPPORTING PAKISTANI CRICKET TEAM OR FOR SIMPLE REASON NOT TO HEAR THE CRACKERS BLASTED EVERY TIME INDIA HAD WON AGAINST PAKISTAN… WAS IT GOING TO START A WAR BETWEEN INDIA AND PAKISTAN OR YOU WERE TRYING TO SAVE THE POOR ARTISTS FROM INDIAN INTELIGENCE AGENCY…. WORSE COULD HAVE HAPPENED I BE LABELED WITH MANY NAMES AND BE ABUSED BY INTERACTION OF SOME BUT MOSTLY IT COULD HAVE GENERATED SOME HEATEED DISCUSSIONS AND BRING OUT THE ISSUES AND VARIETY OF OPINIONS. IS IT NOT THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS SITE?

SHAME ON YOU WHOEVER MADE THE DECISION TO APPLY THE CENSORSHIP. I FEEL PITY FOR HIM OR HER
