Doubtless heavy discussion is welcomed, as is re-activation of the FDLF, and a new line in stickers!

Indian police derail luxury train fare dodgers 09 Sep 2001
NEW DELHI, Sept 9 (Reuters) - A weekend check on India's luxury Palace on Wheels train found nearly two thirds of the passengers were fare dodgers, police said on Sunday.
In Saturday's check near the city of Jodhpur, only 38 people, mostly foreigners, could present their $2,500 tickets for a week's travel on the train that chugs its way through palaces and forts of the western state of Rajasthan.
The other 67 had no tickets, a spokesman for the Central Bureau of Investigation said.
"We had got information that some people were enjoying hospitality on the train without any tickets," he said.
A case of "ticketless travel" and causing losses to the state will be registered after further investigations, he said.
With its cream saloons embellished with intricate designs and personalised service, the Palace on Wheels has been rated as one of the 10 most luxurious train journeys in the world.
