- Hi,
-
- I have been reading all the replies you gave to Selva. You mostly
- did personal attacks and ignored all his historical proofs. You talked more about
- ramayana and missed the central point he was trying to make.. You keep asking for
- evidence when he gives millions already and ignore all those and go in atangent.
-
- I did not see any racial prejudice at all in Selvas posts. (In fact i am a south Indian
- brahmin in case you think i side with him because of my background or relegion or
- race or what ever) on the contrary you try to show him as one. Get a life!
