From the farticle above: "This is a typical wooden brazier found in the tombs. Zoroastrians would bury a burning brazier with the dead to show their worship of fire. The culture is unique to Zoroastrianism." This does not make sense. There is no question of burial, nor defiling the Fire wi...

Re: India-US Strategic News and Discussion
There may be a misconception that holding a green card (5 years) ensures US citizenship. Not so. Naturalization is a step that requires a subjective evaluation of ‘good character’. Any arrest, misdemeanor and certainly felony, would present ‘grave’ concerns. These are never struck off, or reduced. I...

Re: India-US Strategic News and Discussion
Could the US really claim that it is not bound by the Vienna Convention (apparently the Senate never ratified it? (http://scholarship.law.wm.edu/cgi/viewc ... xt=facpubs). Oooh, the implications.
This case should go to trial in the US. Keep it on the radar.
