Dear BKDB,
I admire you, being a female, you have the courage to travel to that part of the world that is strange to most of us, and you have the ability to associate with the people there. It must be a very interesting as well as challenging experience. there is such a saying as follows:
"Hatred comes from fear
fear comes from misunderstanding
misunderstanding comes from lacking of contacts"
With your contacts with Indian people so many times; I believe you must have reduced your misunderstanding about these people and helped us do the same. One thing that bothers me: Indian people may be peace-loving; but their goverment or leaders are aggressive, they never stop stealing more land from China-India border, such as McMahon Line and 大吉領 areas and Indian/Pakistan borders.
