You have surely brought out a touchy and less discussed issue in the open. And overcome the emotions by logic . The examples are thought provoking and makes one think that unnecessarily illiteracy keeps getting the blame .

Thank you, Swapneel. Yes, it was difficult to not make it into a rant. And I thank Vinita (my in-house editor) for helping me temper it.

Arre ... thanks for your kind words, Bhavesh. Guess being subjected to these species regularly brought out some core emotions. :-)
