Searching for Pandit roots

Sir,

It was interesting to read the article “Allama Iqbal--Searching for Pandit Roots”, by Dr Ramesh Kumar in the May issue of Kashmir Sentinel. However, I would like to suggest a correction. The person shown standing in the left in the family wedding photograph is not of Shri Hriday Narain Hundoo but is of his son, Shri Swaroop Narain Hundoo. I know this as I too am, in a way, related to the Sapru clan. The relationship? Well, the old lady in that 1931 photograph is sister of my mother’s mother’s mother!

US double Sandards

Sir,

It has reference to the Editorial “US Double Standards” published in your esteemed fortnightly (May 1st-31st issue).

United States is pursuing its agenda under the garb of war against terrorism as is reflected in its approach.

US is continuously ignoring the fact that Pakistan is the epicenter of terrorism.

It has overlooked India’s genuine concerns and is counselling India to hold dialogue with Pakistan which is pursuing terrorism as a State policy.

Though our leadership continuously speaks about winning the war against terrorism on its own strength, yet it always pleads with US to force Pakistan to stop fomenting terrorism in India.

In fact Indian leadership is allowing the American intervention by its own policy.

While India needs to fight terrorism on its own strength with or without the support from the international community, US will have to give up its double standards vis-a-vis terrorism.
