Dear Sasi, Today's Hindu carries a *story* by Anand Parthasarathy. AP seems to be spreading a message that "vulnerability of Free Software" is easily derived through the reported instances of "vulnerability of Firefox.exe".
Its a shame that people holding such responsible positions, still carry out such propaganda.

Anand P has been doing whatever damage he can. Although his understanding is very superficial, unfortunately, he commands a lot of respect among journalists and lay people.

We need to find ways to give our responses. I have written once or twice to the Hindu in response to his articles, but they have been ignored. I am at a loss as to what we can do.
Best thing to do is to reply to them, send them to publish, whether they publish or not, publish them on our website. this way at least those who visit our website and search on the web will find our criticism.

Writing to the Hindu (both email and snail-mail) does not work. I've tried this enough times., but no response. Maybe we need contacts.

some attractive english would do for many papers.. i see many of my friends publish things there to hindu.. the matter wont be of much use.. but the language would ask us to fetch the dictionary.. may be someone could try..
