If you cannot distinguish between a letter to the newspaper and a opinion piece or an editorial, its not my fault. Every Tom Dick and Harry has an opinion. Just like you. Not everyone's is relevant.
It does not show any side of India which isnt already known. That piece of literary horse manure is simply embellishing some 'facts' while claiming to quote figures from a book which isnt peer reviewed nor critiqued properly.
Oh, btw, a Pakistani staying in Britain who has never visited India knows a lot about India than an Indian who visits his homeland often! Yes mate, makes sense.
Like I said, nothing worthwhile, moving on....
