An email in 1997

This is an email i received from an Indian guy:

I AM HAPPY TO SAY I HAVE RECIVED A WIDE SUPORT ALREADY.PLEASE FWD THIS TO AS MANY AS POSSIBLE . BOTH PAKISTANIS AND INDIANS ALIKE. PLEASE REMEBER THE SUCCESS OUR MISSION DEPENDS ON MAXIMUM SUPPORT FROM ALL QUARTERS.IF POSSIBLE SEND THE SAME MAIL TO ALL MEDIA GROUPS

RESPECTED SIR

NO ONE KNOWS ABOUT THE SOUTH ASIAN NUCLEAR HOLOCAUST THEN YOU. YOU ARE THE

FOLKS WHO INFORM THE WORLD.

OUR LEADERS WILL TELL ANY LIE TO CREATE A MAKE BELIEVE WORLD FOR THEIR

VESTED INTERESTS. A WORLD THAT WILL TEACH US TO HATE, DISTRUST AND

DISRESPECT EACH OTHER. THIS IS MOST EVIDENT BY THE VOLUMINOUS VENOM THAT

IS BEING HEAPED AGAINST EACH OTHER BY THE FANATIC INDIANS AND PAKISTANIS

ALIKE ON THE MESSAGE BOARDS. WE ARE INVENTING NEW WAYS TO DESTROY EACH

OTHER. THAT TOO AT THE COST OF SEVERAL NEEDY INNOCENTS, WHILE OUR LEADERS

TAKE SHELTER IN AIRCONDITONED NUKE PROOF CHAMBERS.

INDIA'S REAL ENEMY IS NOT PAKISTAN AND PAKISTAN'S ENEMY IS NOT INDIA.

WE THE PEOPLE ARE OUR OWN BIGGEST ENEMIES. WE NEED TO STOP ANHILATING

OURSELVES. WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS EGO-GRATIFYING EXALTATIONS AND

JINGOISTIC NATIONALISM.

YOU GUYS ARE THE MEDIA. YOU CAN MAKE A VOICE HEARD BY ONE AND ALL.

THE PROBLEM RIGHT NOW IS WE HAVE A ZEALOUS MINORITY DECIDING WHAT IS RIGHT

FOR MAJORITIES.IF THE RIGHT CONCERNS AND DESIRES ARE VOICED, THEN FOR SURE

OUR LEADERS HAVE TO FOLLOW SUIT.

I AM AN INDIAN .I HAVE NOTHING AGAINS TTHE PAKISTANIS AND I WANT TO

START AN INDO-PAK FRIENDSHIP COUNCIL. THOSE INTERESTED MAY CONTACT ME,

VAMSI AYYAGARI AT VAM420@HOTMAIL.COM. IN THE INTERNET, THERE ARE A FEW WHO

WILL PAY HEED. BUT IF YOU FOLKS DESIRE, THERE WILL BE MILLIONS WHO CAN BE

REACHED. AND WE CAN GIVE REAL PEACE AN EVERLASTING CHANCE.

I KNOW YOU MAY SEE NO NEED IN PUBLISHING OR ANNOUNCING THIS IN ALL THE

MEDIA YOU CONTROL OR INFLUENCE. AFTER ALL THE FACT REMAINS I AM NO ONE

GREAT. BUT I AM JUST A CRAZED CITIZEN AND AN INDIAN WHO THINKS THERE IS NO

NEED FOR EVERYONE IN THE WORLD TO DELIBERATELY TELL OURSELVES TO HATE EACH

OTHER. THE PROBLEM WITH OUR NATIONS LIES NOT SO MUCH IN THE FACT THAT THEY

CAN BE SOLVED AS WE LACK THE WILL TO SOLVE THEM.

IF YOU CAN BE KIND ENOUGH TO PUT THIS ON EVERY MEDIA (TV, YOUR TELECASTS

AND INTERNET) I WILL BE GRATEFULL TO YOU.

IT IS UPTO TO YOU TO DECIDE WHETHER YOU AS A RESPONSIBLE MEDIA WANT TO

MAKE THE DIFFERENCE.

SINCERLY AND WITH A LOT OF HOPE - '
