Of course, Veereshji had opined that a piranha strategy would not work in India. The point, as I realize now, is that we do not need a thousand piranhas; just a couple of them would be good enough. The copy+paste of an email received yesterday shows how even one piranha can take the fight forward by quite a few steps. And yes, I was planning to begin inflicting collateral damage in a few days; looks like this email has already started it. A damn good sign; it is now becoming a peoples movement. (I am witholding the name of the piranha for now; my FB profile is open and even undesirable elements would be able to read whatever I post.) ----------------------------------- Dear Mr. Bhamburkar, Thank you for your email regarding potential violations of the FCPA.
