Thanks for passing that on, Jerry.
Instead of proclaiming about things he can't
possibly know anything about (in opposition to
Richard Gott, who is here, was for years the
Observer's Latin American correspondent and the
author of a book on Chavez), maybe Ajit could
talk about Nandigram and SEZs in India and what they represent.
cheers,
michael
