Please read the following article in response to world newspapers. It is really quite unpardonable that the world news, without much thought, would take the word of 17 armed aggressors over a Tapasvi who has fastidiously meditated for over 5 years and adheres to the Pancha Sila. http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-476289 Global Dervish, San Francisco, USA
