erm.... US society has been historically segregated too, and this was
enforced by law until the 1960s in many states (at least in India
legal support for such segregation has not existed since
independence). I think if you haven't been living under your rock
you'll agree that American society isn't free of the consequent social
ills.
Here's another "ad hominem attack" (not a good term because it's an
attack on your writings, I haven't met you in person). I initially
got into this argument because I seriously wanted to correct what you
were saying. Now I'm just curious to see how far you will go to
defend your views. The results are quite interesting ("Saddam will
gas his people anyway", "Israel will destroy the middle east if
America doesn't control it", "we do not see social ills [such as
segregation] in the US", etc). Apparently you believe everything
you read, provided the CIA wrote it.
