But I'm going to put my experiences and the fruits of my research (and equally my wife's) into a book that we hope will be published later this year. It will, hopefully, shed some more light on Arunachal Pradesh, the lead-up to 1962, and where we have gone thereafter. So bear with me until then.<BR/>thanks,<BR/>AjaiBroadswordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13076780076240598482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-25388299177726953082009-01-16T04:16:00.000-08:002009-01-16T04:16:00.000-08:00Hi shuklaji,Plz post ur experiences in A.P upto no...Hi shuklaji,<BR/>Plz post ur experiences in A.P upto now..<BR/>any memorable, interesting thing happened during these 4 months??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-68278004035003108352009-01-15T13:00:00.000-08:002009-01-15T13:00:00.000-08:00welcome back dude.we missed our insider in LCA dep...welcome back dude.<BR/><BR/>we missed our insider in LCA department :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-75373283687233773702009-01-14T22:31:00.000-08:002009-01-14T22:31:00.000-08:00Great to have you back!!!!!!!!Great to have you back!!!!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
