>I am an Indian and I am worried about the direction of the Indian 
>IMC. I have tried to approach the editorial collective, but have had 
>no response so I am requesting your intervention. I believe the 
>collective has collapsed in recent months and the void has been 
>filled by religious extremists. Evidence of this can be seen in 
>countless messages on the newswire which advocate the rape and 
>murder of Muslims. For instance, Dalit activist Smita Narula has 
>repeatedly been threatened with rape on the Indian IMC

>None of these messages have been hidden, giving the impression that 
>the collective is under-staffed or has been infiltrated by 
>extremists.
>
>This is a plea for the Indymedia network to save India IMC. We are 
>facing terrible times in India, with the recent murder of 2,000 
>Muslims at the hands of extremists, and we need a news forum for 
>progressive news.

>I look forward to your response. We must not give victory to fascism!
