In the nationanl conference on Free Software at cochin, Slum dweller had put up a stall with Mani's paintings:

However the report mentions "Open Source". But slum dweller is a Free Software person and understands:

Yesterday we had a discussion, "are we getting more publicity than we deserve". However it has helped, that is important to inspire youths nearby slums to start such computer centers using Free Software. Though the center itself has a very long way to go and Mani's Free Software paintings are worth the publicity.

That was precisely why this reporter's inclusion as a 'speaker' was objected by Anivar. He is again repeating his folly and trying to create trouble here.
Google Inc. confirms that a majority of the world's people have preferred to see our version of "Kochi conference" or "National Conference on Free Software Kochi" - through its search engine. Thanks to all our activists who took up the issue at highest levels.
The next time if these subversive people came forward with dangerous tactics, I think we should seriously try and reverse-hijack none other than "Marx" from them. That will signal the onset of its final irreversible intellectual decay. The emerging world prefers sensibility, not dirty-games.

Assertions are assertions. I will do it - and complete the process in less than a week - but, on the following conditions (a) our chairman Nagarjuna willing, and (b) somebody offers to challenge - otherwise why should I disturb Marx ?
Bye, best wishes on your work. Concentrate. Hack. CK Raju
