Agarwalla's comments
Instead of taking offence at Mr. Niraj Agarwalla's harsh comments on my letter, I feel I should enlighten him about the reasons behind my scepticism. It is very easy to be passionate and make sweeping remarks when you have no knowledge of how this group of people has suffered in the past and also how recent incidents have been surfacing on and off, giving fleeting glimpses of what easily could have been another Bradley Effect. Echoing my fear was my way of awakening all to what the consequences could be and how the world would look at it, if a man with Barack Obama's standing is not elected. This would have had a catastrophic effect on the world. We would have remained enslaved forever.
By electing Barack Obama the Americans have renewed the world's faith in them; let us rejoice in the glory, for we too are part of history in the making.
