Montpelier to Mumbai is a wonderful little travel blog by a group of students from Montpelier, Vermont, who had travelled down to Mumbai to participate in the World Social Forum that just recently concluded in Mumabi.

Its an interesting collection of first-hand experiences of the young students of their very first time in India. Its full of posts that speak about the colours and the warmth of the people here which make the city rise above its poverty and filth. :-)

All Parties Hurriyat Conference chairman Moulvi Abbas Ansari praises Indian Prime Minister A B Vajpayee by calling him an apostle of peace!!

Well that’s what you call “appeasement”! With the peace talks between India and Pakistan taking big strides forward, suddenly the Hurriyat seems to have been rendered redundant! So its not unusual to see the Hurriyat cosying up to the Indian Government… primarily because they know that the Pakistani Government doesn’t look to be too keen on continuing to be pals with them!
