I see that you are interested in topics of human rights and peace making. Check out that website, http://www.muslimvoicesfestival.org, because it contains information about a culturally unique festival being held in NYC that celebrates Muslim arts and culture, one of which is Dastangoi, a revival of the lost art of storytelling. Thid festival aims to engender stronger connections between the Muslim community and the broader cultural life of New York through the medium of art. It seems like it is something that you would write about! Keep up the blogging!!</p> I’ve been reading your blogs and I must say that they are insightful, especially with the variety of topics you write about.

Far be it from me (or other Hindutvas) to defend the current Indian economy. The point is, instead, that one needs to figure out what to do going forward. And I'm very hard-pressed to find any example of a country with a lot of Muslims in it that provides a nice example--you may whine that that's bias, but I'm just calling it like it is.</p> Dhoni, Your rather maniacal comparison of India to Indonesia in terms of economic output is badly missing the point.
