You wouldn't be the author of that blog by any chance?

I don't take kindly to "There is a strange relationship between bleeding heart westerners and some breeds of Indians" or "The westerners, burdened with guilt, tend to take any report from India at face value, and the Indians tend to only respect what is endorsed by the westerners".

I don't see any evidence from your links that he spoke to anyone's managers.

Frankly, I wonder what axe you have to grind and what side of the story hasn't been told by you.

Atul's response is much classier and gives a lot more background info: http://lawgon.livejournal.com/45791.html?thread=165855#t1658...

Agreed. But the accusations are not unfounded and he practically skirted the accusation and simply put a lot of jargon and misleading references and connections which Kenneth countered again in his "non-classy" style with no capitalization. Let's call a spade a spade when needed.

I still liked the guy, I knew these allegations. I read his articles while growing up, as I've mentioned above.

The author of that blog, "Kenneth Gonsalves" is dead for almost a year.

I'm sorry to hear that. That just makes the above poster even worse, in my opinion.
