James Kottoor Dear Jose, Thanks for all the undeserved compliments. On hard work  I agree but not able to agree with any of my great or small achievements. There is only one another man  who told me he knew me from N.Leader times and wrote the longest letter ever. Till now I have not met him or seen him. He is Bishop Alex Dias of Portblair. Still he sends me emails and more Kneemails(prayers) as he has little time to write.

I start my writing always with the prayer "Lord that I may see, desire, think, listen, speak and write all that you want me and only what you want me to do" since I know myself to be more blind than Bar Themeus whom he gave sight. So if you find anything enlightening convey your thanks to my Lord and to him alone. St. Paul constantly reminds me:"What have you which you have not received and if you have received why do you glory as if you have not received." That settles everything as far as I am concerned.

Any way want to know more about you since this is my first contact with you and wish to keep in touch. God bless you. james, a know-nothing only.

Samuel Macwan

Bible said it .

There will be no Jew or Jew or faroshi Samruni. 

No caste No bar even no man or woman. 

All will be integrated in equality.

Jesus Bible can eradicate casteism. 

Even RSS theory of dominance. 

One platform of Jesus faith. 

One platform for poor and rich. 

One platform for all castes and Creed's.

Amen.

A very knoledgable writer and critic now in London, Varghese Pamplanil reacts to CCV post ‘Professional  Politicians'.

Varghese Pamplanil, 5/8/17/,  pamplanil@icloud.com;

 All India Professional Congress

Apropos, Dr. Kottoor’s comments on Sashi  Tharoor’s proposal for All India Professional Congress under the aegis of Congress Party. The very name Congress leaves a bad taste in the mouth. The party has degenerated in to a cess pool of sycophancy, corruption, dishonesty, wheeling and dealing.  The late Indira Gandhi, in order to project her wayward son,  Sanjay had ensured that state leaders like V. P. Naik, H.N. Bahuguna, Brahmanda Reddy etc.  were booted out. No local leader was allowed to come up.With the sad end of Rajiv Gandhi, the party became the pocket borough of the Italian origin Sonia, with no  political acumen or leadership qualities.

Her son Rahul is  incapable for reviving the fortunes of the party. Modi is a cunning politician, a good communicator. He is the creature of the corporate world. He is the mouth piece of Hindu diehards who can effectively project the cow,  the mandir and the OBC. This charade will flourish till the “ daridhra narayanans “ belatedly realise that they have been hood winked and taken for a ride. India is no France where the reverberations of the French Revolution still linger.Modern Protestant European society  is dynamic. India is still in the clutches of religiosity of the worst kind. The country  is centuries behind modernism in real terms. But nothing in nature or society exists in the vacuum.Some unexpected force may  appear and change the scenario That  alone is the hope.
