Indian DichotomyBy: Indian bystander | Thursday , 2 Oct '08 9:58:59 AM Reply | Forward this really a nice gesture . as an indian and human being ; why not human sufferings bbare treated with same compassion and thought all along the country's border .

Or mainland India too should share little responsibility in curbing this bfeel of alienation..??
