//Dil Se Desi// Re: denying right of a nobel laureate

Friends,
This mailis related with the feedback sent by Dr
Subodh Chandra Roy on my article `Nobel Peace For Have
nots'.
Dr Roy has done some excellent work relating burning
issues of today. I have read his books ` So Called
Nobel Prize' and` Death Penalty, a Judicial
Contradiction'.
He has raised so many eyeraising points quite relevent
to world order,polity and society. I request you to
write to Dr Roy to justify his points. You may write
to him to get the mentioned books.
Since the issues are very important to sustain man
kind, society and civilization, with expectation of
much more debate , I am forwarding this mail to you
all.
