[OLPC India] The note from Harriet

[Satish Jha]

JV, 
Thank you very much for posting this mail from Harriet who has
been a constant source of irritation from the day Professor Nicholas
Negroponte appointed me to lead OLPC India. 
She has been
misrepresenting her affiliation with OLPC and has had nothing to with
OLPC since Aug 2008 and was an employee of Reliance ADAG. 
Please note
that the wikipedia site was vandalized by someone, I don't know if it
was her, and it is not self created but vandalized many times by the
opponents of OLPC in India and I have no interest in that site. 
I have
been running OLPC India Foundation with my personal resources and
sometimes OLPC has helped with some resources. 
Its unfortunate that
there are people love OLPC so much they cannot find an identity outside
of it and have hurt its cause. 
Just ask her what has she contributed to
its cause other than misleading people and coming in the way of
expansion of OLPC in various states. 
I have contributed to OLPC India
more than most Indian professionals earn in a lifetime over the past
four years. And I will continue to contribute as long as I can because I
have seen what it can do for the children. 
I have had sjha at vsnl.com [1]
as my ID since I contributed my two cents to help VSNL create vsnl.com
[2] during the days I was chairman of James Martin & Co and the ID was
given to me with compliments during the Dr B K Syngal's chairmanship of
VSNL. 

Thanks and regards
