ing the 92-93 riots, explicitly states that “The response of police to appeals from desperate victims, particularly Muslims, was cynical and utterly indifferent.

the melodic performance of the acclaimed pop classical violinist Vanessa Mae. The show began with the notes of the sitar maestro Ustad Nishat Khan and a musical piece by the young prodigy Vanessa, followed by the much awaited jugalbandi between the renowned sitarist and the talented violinist. Sponsored by Seagrams 100 Pipers pure music, the packed auditorium and the cheering crowd were enough to give a ‘thumb’s up’ sign to the organisers. Bestowed with thunderous applause at the fall of the curtain, this perfect combination of talent and glamour definitely succeeded in making a mark among the music lovers of India as well.
forgot about the billions our successive governments have had, and never invested on sincerely developing the situation of the underprivileged...

, as you know, I’ve done numerous actions with PETA to help get the word out. I traded in my red Baywatch swimsuit for a lettuce-leaf bikini for an ad promoting vegetarianism. I’ve narrated exposés of the leather trade in India and the meat industry in the US. Earlier this year, I spearheaded a petition drive against the annual seal hunt in Canada, where baby seals are still beaten bloody on the ice for their fur. I’ve fi red off letters, posed for posters, called on designers to create animal-friendly fashions, and even written an opinion piece for The Wall Street Journal, urging advertising executives to stop using unwilling animal actors to sell products. Everyone can do their part – whether it’s something as bold as attending a demonstration or as simple as making a vegetarian meal for a loved one. Every little bit helps – the important thing is to just do something.
