Subject: Wildlife
Dear all
	On the www.rediff.com website (which gives news on the Indian
subcontinent) I saw the following column by Vir Sanghvi.

http://209.194.80.218/news/1998/oct/26vir.htm02998/tortugas.asp

	It compares the case of Sanjay Dutt and Salman Khan. The following
two paragraphs from the article demonstrate the new ethos of
*literate India*. ( All life is equal but humans are more equal than others)
It seems that Mr Sanghvi believes that hunting is allowed in some parts of
India. You can post your comments on the web site about the article and
also send an email to the author.

On the other hand, even if Salman is guilty as charged -- and of course, he
  must be regarded as innocent until it can be demonstrated otherwise -- his
  crime is much less serious. There is no suggestion of involvement in terrorist
  violence, no friendship with such Dawood Ibrahim henchmen as Hanif and
  Samir Hingora and no assault rifle. 

  The most that can be said is that he went off on shikar in an area where
  hunting is banned, and then shot and killed two black bucks (and then ate
  them for dinner but that I suppose is not part of the chargesheet). The
  charge against Salman is poaching which, if upheld, does not show him in a
  very good light but does not, nevertheless, suggest that he is a hood, a
  goonda or a terrorist.
