Here are some links�for your weekend reading:

1. An article recommended by someone I respect. I have very quickly browsed through it but looks very readable and�well-written:�”Without quota, every caste would be a forward caste“ – by Shri M R Venkatesh (I am hoping to explore this whole issue in greater depth sometime in the next few weeks)

2. Well written and researched article on Sethusamudram (or Rama Setu, Setu Rameshwaram): “Sethusamudram Shipping Canal Project : A Good Thing Done Badly!”�- by�Shri Sundara Krishnaswamy�

3. A collection of news reports (from March ’07) related to Pakistan and Terrorism.�Iran cleric says Pakistan becoming ‘terrorist sanctuary’.�Here’s a US senator calling for direct strike inside Pakistan. Also see this: “Pakistan: No Entry for Coalition Troops” and

4. A speech by Devan Nair, former President of Singapore�(I havent read it fully yet but hope to do so tonight):�Neo-Colonial Captive Minds.

Have a happy, healthy and safe weekend, where ever you are and whatever you are doing.
