Surpisingly, public diplomacy has failed to tackle this situation. <BR/><BR/>Also I appreciate your linking the SEWA post at blogbharti.Aditya Swaruphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08603274694061214050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14756769.post-24094107974351697072007-06-30T12:35:00.000+05:302007-06-30T12:35:00.000+05:30dr.roy,it's been a while since i read the relevant...dr.roy,<BR/><BR/>it's been a while since i read the relevant articles (of yours)- so i jumped a few years, i guess. but in this post the article at the back of my mind was mostly the one on indira gandhi's legacy. it puts her years in the right perspective - and the insights it offers are very accurate, in my view. <BR/><BR/>your suggestion on dropping the pseudonym - i'll definitely think over it.kuffirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12137701734913669203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14756769.post-51654536581334418582007-06-28T07:27:00.000+05:302007-06-28T07:27:00.000+05:30Hello again, Thanks for the update.

Do look up my 1984 work and the London Times editorial on it, and then what I have said about the Hawaii perestroika-for-India project. My description of my encounter with Rajiv Gandhi is very precise. Certainly the September 26 1990 meeting was at his behest and may be said to have officially started the Congress Party's change in thinking. But my academic work before that on Indian reform had nothing to do with him, and it was at the September 18 1990 meeting that I suggested to him to create a modern agenda. The September 18 1990 meeting would not have occurred but for Siddhartha Shankar Ray, and I would not have met Mr Ray but for my mother, now aged 81, having insisted upon it in a fmaily matter.<BR/><BR/>I recommend you (and most people on the Internet) identify yourself by name, as it is very rarely indeed that one needs to be anonymous in expressing an opinion.<BR/><BR/>Best wishes<BR/><BR/>Subroto RoyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14756769.post-17566037353508801312007-06-27T22:58:00.000+05:302007-06-27T22:58:00.000+05:30dr.roy,thanks for visiting. and for permitting the...dr.roy,<BR/><BR/>thanks for visiting. and for permitting the use of your work - especially because i find your writing very interesting and i plan to quote from your articles in the future too. <BR/><BR/>i've updated the post- it mentions your name now (and doesn't just refer, indirectly, to you like it did earlier). thanks again.kuffirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12137701734913669203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14756769.post-1090730501113879032007-06-27T21:05:00.000+05:302007-06-27T21:05:00.000+05:30Hello, In reference to the quote from my work, you...Hello, In reference to the quote from my work, you are welcome to it under the normal "fair use" rule, though do mention me by name as stated.<BR/><BR/>Sincerely<BR/><BR/>Dr Subroto RoyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
