I was a bit baffled when I read the title of the news item - Honour sacrifices made for India's independence: US Congresswoman. At first, I thought that this message was for the Indian people. Then I realized that it was meant for the Americans. That confused me even more - till I read that this Congresswoman represents a place that has a large Indian-American community. Aha!

Oh well, at least someone will be honoring these sacrifices - given that the Indian population, by and large, seems to be totally unaware of them, let alone honoring them :-(
