[1] From: viji <viji123@yahoo.com> Date: Wed Aug 17, 2005 Subject: Fear still grips Manipur truckers, villagers relieved Fear still grips Manipur truckers, villagers relieved http://www.newkerala.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=14130 National Highway 53 (Manipur): Truckers in northeastern Manipur, where tribesmen were fighting for a separate homeland till last week lifted a two-month blocked on roads and supplies, say they still fear for their lives and many have refused to the take supplies to the far-flung regions. The truckers, carrying essential commodities say they prefer travelling on National Highway 53, which has been cleared by the security forces. NH 53 connects Manipur with the rest of the country via Assam??™s barrack valley and Meghalaya. Last week, rebels ambushed a convoy, a group of army and civilian vehicles enroute to state capital Imphal, killing four people and wounding six others on the National Highway 39, which passes through Nagaland. ???We have been facing so many problems on NH39. We want to ply and operate on NH 53 only, as it is a part of our state. On the way there are lot of disturbances on NH39 -- several incidents of looting, extortion, paying of illegal taxes and even killings by the so-called different groups of militant outfits take place. Frequent shutdowns and blockades also affect us a lot. So, we have determined to quit NH 39,??? said Itocha, a truck driver. Fearing violence, the soldiers are on guard of the civilians and are accompanying them and the critical supplies. Villagers said they were relieved after the blockade was lifted. ???We are so happy that the economic blockade has been lifted. The resumption of transport on this highway is also very relieving. We will guard here and are ready to protect the transporters from any eventualities, which may arise due to any kind of disturbances by militant outfits. The starting of transport operations is a welcome move. Due to blockade many poor villagers had suffered a lot. Now we are relieved,??? said Angousana, a villager. While Nagas are demanding that all Naga-dominated areas in the northeast be united in a ???Greater Nagaland???, some Manipuri groups are fighting for an independent homeland for them. Manipuris strongly oppose the division of their state. The blockade led to severe shortage of food and fuel in the state??™s capital Imphal forcing New Delhi to airlift tonnes of eatables and medicines. The Nagas have been fighting for freedom since 1947, when India got independence from Britain. More than 20,000 people have died in nearly 60 years of Naga insurgency before a ceasefire with the main Naga rebel group came into effect in 1997. ----------------------------------- [2] From: Regi P George <george_regi@yahoo.com> Date: Wed Aug 17, 2005 Subject: A life with no purpose A life with no purpose George Monbiot http://www.hindu.com/2005/08/17/stories/2005081704961100.htm Darwinism implies that the only eternal life we have is in the recycling of our atoms. I find that comforting. ALL IS not lost in America. When George Bush came out a couple of weeks ago in favour of teaching "intelligent design" ??” the new manifestation of creationism ??” the press gave him a tremendous kicking. -------------------------------------------- [3] From: viji <viji123@yahoo.com> Vedic Indian Marriage Rituals http://www.indianslivingabroad.com/matrimonial/marriage-vow.asp ------------------------------------------ [4] From: rup roy <delhigroup498a@yahoo.co.in> Date: Wed Aug 17, 2005 Subject: Now all Modern Ravans will get exposed .
