You have a point, but you yourself need to realise that there are deep-rooted and historical animosities that we cannot wish away. That exchange on nursery rhymes was an example. What happened, happened; the member (not Indian) who posted that is also aware who drove my families out of our native land, to wander about like ghosts in this country; on the other hand, he is also aware who murdered his blood-kin. We need to move on, and I have forgiven them, and they have forgiven their sometime oppressors.
The point is, forgiveness is not forgetfulness.
Fair enough; we will include that clause. I hope in return, and I am saying this directly to you, we get sensitivity about the roles that our distant ancestors played in the past.
Dil pe kyun leta tu? I can't be forthright without the tears springing from your eyes? OK, pass the gag along this way.
At a later stage, without mixing that up with this, we can ask the team why that was done and understand things better; perhaps even convey our point of view successfully. Preserve those instances if you can.
But not now. For now, I want to see us setting an example - TO OURSELVES.

Please read my response as well. I think we also (I include myself first of all, I cited that nursery rhyme two or three times before) need to let go, as far as day-to-day interaction is concerned.
Forgiving does not mean forgetting.
In a few minutes, please check the code for the amendment. Thanks.

Please check now. I expect you to subscribe later, since you did not do so sooner. No lame excuses, please.
