But I take your point that "<em>Just because one fails to attend one meeeting one does not attributes and suspect their motives</em>." Agreed.

By the way, I dont think anyone has called Shri Swamy or Shri Radhakrishnan "ugly names"...What I did say is that they had lost some of their credibility. Personally, I hold Dr Swamy in high regard. His intellectual prowess is undoubted and who am I to speak ill of him, given his stature? It is just that one feels sad when "let down" by people and leaders from whom one has certain expectations. To partially "atone" for my harsh words, here is <a href="http://www.organiser.org/dynamic/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=159&page=31" rel="nofollow">a *vintage* piece by Shri Swamy</a>: "Basic Islam for Hindu Dhimmis" written a while ago...still worth a read .

But I take your point that “Just because one fails to attend one meeeting one does not attributes and suspect their motives.”

Agreed.

It is just that one feels sad when “let down” by people and leaders from whom one has certain expectations.

To partially “atone” for my harsh words, here is a *vintage* piece by Shri Swamy: “Basic Islam for Hindu Dhimmis” written a while ago…still worth a read .

It is no doubt that lot of efforts and money is lost by the organiser. Just because one fails to attend one meeeting one does not attributes and suspect their motives. I have heard that Dr. Swamy has a reputation to be puncutal and to his committment. Why all this attacks on these two speakers now and calling hem ugly names ?? !! Then why did the organisers invite themin the first place. I do not know why this hue and cry on one meeting cancelled. It is no doubt that lot of efforts and money is lost by the organiser.

It reflects that even if you are hindu by birth, many tenets of hinduism are not practised whilst giving 'bhashans' This many of us have have seen and continously happening. We can only hope this is the nadir and soon our country will come out of the clutches of of such politicians at present in our parliament There are many instances when such ‘eminent’ people back out irrespective of the party they belong.
