Debsankar,
Thanks for drafting this letter. We should send this letter to public ASAP. If anybody has any quick comment, please let Debsankar know by an hour or so.
It's a great job Debsankar. Not only you wrote the letter, but also you have found that Sangam has tampered Pratichi's response. Sangam changed one of the line from Pratichi's response.
Original - "As you have stated in your letter that it is also your goal to have one Durga Puja in Kansas City, we believe this should be further explored and all parties should meet without any precondition in order to reach a common ground."
Changed to - "As you have stated in your letter that it is also your goal to have one Durga Puja in Kansas City, we believe this can be further explored and all parties can meet without any precondition in order to reach a common ground."
I think we should highlight this part, since people don't generally read the last part of this kind of letter very carefully.
Also, I think we should mention our response to the responses from 3 clubs (i.e. the responses sent last night). It can be written in such a way that general public would assume that Sangam deliberately omitted our response in their public letter.
Thanks,
-Debashis

My Opinion
I think we should not attach our response put it in the body of email. Also highlight the letter tampering at the end of email and attach the original Pratichi response to us. Also attach our response to all the clubs and mention that in the email.
Thanks

This is exactly what I mentioned to Debashis on phone right about 5 mins back.
Thus I support your opinion.

Dear All:
I like the draft very much but I think we should change the 4th paragraph and make it little softer for now. All we are trying to do is to get into the MSDP circle. We have to be very careful when dealing with Sangam.
These are my thoughts.

In my opinion: I agree with you all. We should broadcast the letter today. However, I think we should omit the forth stanza. Otherwise public reaction will not be in favor of us. We have a very important meeting scheduled on 12th and a big program coming up on 23rd Oct. We should be very careful now. Let’s hold our anger and frustrations now for the sake of our group’s goodwill. Let’s not express our emotion publicly when public is not completely aware of what is happening behind the scene. So they will misunderstand us. Sangam is playing the political game in a very cunning way. Notice their last night’s email. They are trying to hold public sympathy very tactfully. So we should not be carried away by our emotions now. Later on (probably after the meeting on 12th, after getting signature from MSDP…) we may broadcast what is happening for last few years, how we are wounded, how we feel etc. including Sushantada’s email. If we start fighting now we will lose the game.
Regards, Bhaswati/Bhaswatidi |

| Dear All, Here is the revised draft. As suggested by the team, I have soften/generalized the 4th paragraph. I believe that the truth is what we are telling people and there is only one version of the truth which is completely above all emotion. Thanks and regards, Debsankar |

I think I agree with Bhaswati di 50%. In my opinion what we can write it this way 4th paragraph.
It is with great sadness that we have obseved that the letter which has been attached in the mass email of Sangam has been tampered. A letter send to us by Partichi state that
Original - "As you have stated in your letter that it is also your goal to have one Durga Puja in Kansas City, we believe this should be further explored and all parties should meet without any precondition in order to reach a common ground."
Changed to - "As you have stated in your letter that it is also your goal to have one Durga Puja in Kansas City, we believe this can be further explored and all parties can meet without any precondition in order to reach a common ground."
I hope Sangam realize their mistake and appolozise to Pratichi for misrepresenting their letter to the community.
I am hereby attaching the original letter send to us by Pratichi and the tampered letter send out by Sangam.
We have already send our response to the respective club, as it is unethical to publish any letter send to any club or organization without their due consent henceforth we are not attaching the response at this time but our reponse was in line with having a open communication in regard to having a single Durga puja in this city.

This seems much better to me. Debshankar, I am with you 100%. I see the truth clearly. I just want to say that let’s lay the ‘facts’ instead of ‘truth’. It is true that their gesture is ‘unethically distasteful’ and ‘utterly annoying’. The fact is they have distorted the letter send by Pratichi. Let’s be politically correct in our actions instead of inviting a ‘Mahabharater Juddha’. J

| Dear Tapash and Bhaswati di, I have given more thought into it. It is not lawfully correct to present or reproduce full or part of any corporate record electronically in public without prior approval of senders and receivers and without any lawful disclaimers. That is why, it is not appropriate for us to unfold a detail comparison of sangam's version of pratichi's letter forwarded by them to public and the actual pratichi's letter (which is a corporate record). Let Sangam face to public questions because they are the one who has done it. By conveying this message of distortion will make public to become skeptic about sangam's recent activities. If asked personally, we can show anybody the difference between these two letters. Following suggestions, I have already embedded the words "unfortunate" and "sad" in this letter in appropriate places to keep public in good faith with us and soften our dialog. As such the responsibilities are assigned to sangam organizers rather than sangam members. Thanks, Debsankar |

| Mala di, Dilip da, Bhaswati di and others, 1) I corrected the draft according to Dilip da's suggestions. 2) I also replaced the term "unethically distasteful" with "ethically inappropriate". The modified draft is attached. Thanks, Debsankar --- On Thu, 9/9/10, Mala Das <mala...@gmail.com> wrote: |
