The Weakest Link the only thing we can take responsibility for is ourselves. do that. take that step. don`t compare yourself to anyone else. if that is all you can do, then do that. it is the least you can do. don`t even shirk that responsibility. remember `weakness is the only sin`.

The Wrong Side of the Border dear eds

there seems to be a bit of confusion regarding this article (wrong side of the border) because a short intro wasn`t included. could you please include the following few lines:



The retoric on both sides of the border is exactly the same. Replace the `them` and `we` with any community and you`ll see what I mean.



be great if you could make the relevent changes asap to avoid anymore confusion.

cheers

The Wrong Side of the Border it seems that many people have mis read the main point of my article but at the same time many seem to have picked up on what i am trying to say. the confusion is due to the fact that my intro wasn`t included. the intro basically stated that the people of india and pakistan are both being fed exactly the same grabage. just replace the they and we with either country and you get what i am trying to say. it is applicable across the border. that is why i used they and we rather than a specific.

i hope this clear some doubt.

Brown Man’s Burden re: harish

harish thank you for your comments. you seem to have mis read what i meant when i criticised the the lean of my teachers. i am not arguing for the removal of english and the return to any indian language. i think write and communicate in english and i wouldn`t want it any other way.

what i am arguing is that we as indians or who ever recognise that we use the english language in our own way. we have to adopt a new approach to the way english is taught.

what we arre out through is a system that was designed by the english for the english. as you in your article say, your father used the radient reader. don`t you think there should be change.

what i argue is that indian writers should be given recognition in schools. we should question rather than blindly follow the likes of shakespear and kipling. they did a great job but we live in a different world. we have to empower ourselves by adopting the english language on our own terms rather than be subjected to the frame work of some one else.

Good Girls and Bad Postures Great to read another articulate scream raging against opression. Recoginition of the body often leads to the recognition of the mind and individuality. This is what the deniers of the body want - control through group behaviour. Recognition of the mind, body and individuality is the last thing they want.

keep it up.
