why don't you make it easier or people who cannot go to DC? people send all kind of petitioning letters by email and all one has to do is add one's name if one agrees. On the side note - a few years ago Kunda Dixit was in a talk show called 'Connection' and Dick Gordon was the host. The show was about Nepal on Maoist led civil war. My called got through and I had asked a question about India's role in this Maoist-Nepal-civil war equation. Dick Gordon commented that it was a good question (he must have heard/read), but Kunda Dixit totally brushed off the question. Like India did not matter on Nepal's problem. That day he lost my respect. What was his motivation I still wonder to take India's side. So yes, down with India's propensity inflame our problem and start our problem in most cases. We own the most prized resource - white gold - WATER. REMEMBER India does not want to swallow Nepal like it swallowed sikim, but wants to control water by controlling Nepal. {Please read American Scientific for more information on Water.} I can provide the link later if anybody interested and you will get the sense why India wants to "meddle" in our affairs. It is much more sinister than just meddling, I tell you.
