Arjunn Rampall's disgraceful confession!

Today's Mid-Day newspaper ( 5th August 2009 , page 14), contains excerpts
from Arjunn Rampall's interview in GQ magazine.

In his interview, Arjunn proudly proclaims: "I must be one of the few people
who have gone into the Agiary pretending to be Parsi"!
I wonder what his wife Mehr has to say to this.

I also wonder if he would try to pull a similar stunt by going to Mecca "pretending" to be a Muslim. Forget Mecca / Muslims, would Arjunn bring meat to a strict Jain house and offend their religious sentiments? Would he eat pork in the house of a Jew or a Muslim? Why does this man, who is married to a Parsi, have no respect for Parsi-Iranis?

THIS IS DISGRACEFUL INDEED. WHO DOES ARJUNN THINK
HE IS TO INSULT THE ZOROASTRIAN RELIGION IN THIS WAY?

From a concerned Zoroastrian.

Mr. Samir Jain / Ms. Meenal Baghel.

 

This is not the first instance when Manoj Nair has hurt the feelings 

and sentiments of the peace loving Zoroastrian Community. 

Hope somehow he could be made to realize the serious repercussions 

that are caused within the community due to his irresponsible writings. 

He seems to be deriving sadistic pleasure in continuing with his 

deplorable writings knowing fully well that besides a few protest 

letters and phone calls no physical or monetary harm could befall 

him due to the pathetically small numbers that Parsis are in.

 

Would Mr. Nair ever dare to write any controversial articles 

relating to the MNS, or Shiv Sena or the major Minority? 

I don't think he ever will.

 

Times has a long standing reputation not only nationally but 

inter-nationally and it is subscribed by almost 100% of our small 

community. We do hope you realize the damage that is being 

caused by such thoughtless writings the world over.

 

Would appreciate a line in response confirming your 

 understanding of the problem and also assuring us 

that such harmful and irresponsible journalism

will not be allowed to be published in future.

 

Thanks and regards,

 

Burjor Bharucha.
