Dear Mutaal 

Thank you for the note. It was my first participation in an ethnic group seminar of this nature and it was quite stimulating. I agree with you that there should have been more time for questions from the participants. I specially appreciated the papers by Najeeb Kazmi & Tariq Fateh. Though I did not agree with their view points completely, I found their papers very informative and superbly delivered. In my opinion reading of papers in such formats can be quite distracting but my congratulations to all the speakers for their diverse opinions and for your emphasis on non -violent ways of dispute resolution. 

However, I hope in future, we will not restrict such gatherings only to the South Asian participants but try to have an audience which is more representative of the Canadian multicultural mosaic. 

All the best for the coming year and peace & prosperity to all. 

Was salaam.
