	Balu Raman :

	Some of the points raised in the article quoted by you are definitely
	valid. If you leave the "racist" statements out of it there is still
	some element of truth element left in that article. I am refering to
	the fact that the "POTELS" (the ones I have encountered) are
	positively dirty and disgusting. I don't intend to get into the
	reasons for that as the majority of the audience of this net probably
	knows them. Also, I would rather spend some extra money
	and stay in a cleaner place.


	If some American has a negative comment about Indians, you are not
	helping very much by jumping on their back. It is upto us to
	educate them that opinions about Indians should not be extrapolated
	just from looking at POTEL people.
