Aside, NO OFFENCE podalanna, but I find it rather ironic tat the ppl. who r most concerned bout Indian traditional issues like these happen to be mostly living abroad!

But what I meant was that those who r so deeply concerned bout our traditions unfortunately (IMHO!) happen to be way away from our country, while many of those IN the country itself dont give a **** bout all these things.......rather even try to abolish them in the name of 'modernism'! God knows wat they think o themselves!

PAMPAADY IN THE DISTRICT OF KOTTAYAM IS RECENTLY IN THE NEWS. IN DECEMBER 2006, FIVE CHILDREN FROM A LOWER PRIMARY SCHOOL IN PAMPAADY WERE DISMISSED, AS THEY ARE HIV+.
