Introducing the Shri Ravana Sene
The Shri Ravan Sene is a new organization that was formed a few days ago, in response to the formation and rise to infamy of the Shri Rama Sene.

Obama v/s McCain
I was greeted this morning with the newspaper headline on Deccan Chronicle saying (and I paraphrase) 'Omaba might create history', and it went on to say how opinion polls strongly indicate that he is pitted to be the next US President.
