Jun 07, 2004: Cry O my beloved India!....by Francois Gautier
	Today I feel sad. Sad for India, sad for the world. For India is in mortal danger, its eternal sanatana dharma is under threat from its own people. And if India dies spiritually, the world will die also. India is the last chance for the world to avoid pralaya, self-destruction. Cry O my beloved India!....by Francois Gautier http://in.rediff.com/news/2004/jun/07franc.htm I have lived for 35 years in India.
