Sri Raamajayam

Dear Sri.Balaji,
AdiyEn would assume this forum is predominantly focussed for SampradAyic 
understanding/discussions. Anyway since you had addressed an issue, AdiyEn 
would make a short statement to prevent many more mails arising out of this 
topic.

AdiyEn think making ourself positively visible could help in situations like 
this.

How to make ourself positively visible,
*Going with the flow - wearing T-shirts condemning terrorist acts, organizing
blood donation camps, sell tickets/labels for firefighters/nationbuilding, 
flying American flag and any other act that can be understood as a value 
addition to the community at large. We have to display the same motivation as 
we had for Indian Earthquake disaster relief drives etc.
*Publicize stray acts of violence on Sikhs and other innocent people in the 
print/broadcast/internet media, expressing our resolve to be with the nation in 
resolving the crisis.
*Move with company - Be accompanied by a person who can help misconception.

And in general,
*Make ourself safe - Avoid disturbed/sensitive areas
*Avoid Speculation, finger-pointing discussions on this topic.

Subject: [SriRangaSri] Hate cimes against Indians in US



http://www.cnn.com/2001/US/09/16/gen.mesa.shooting/ 

Hi all; 

we see and experience a lot of sentiments flowing in the uS against 
people who were the Turban ( Sikhs ) and against people who are 
vaguely arabic looking... I have personaly experienced this and so 
have my friends. these incidents however small /minor point to a 
growing hatred among certain anti social elements in the US 
culture... 


let us try to get together and think of ways to counter this with 
reason and education . 

Let us know what you feel should be done . 

-bala
