I am ready to prove my innocence . Hi My name is Vikrant Malvankar(this is my
real name) . The so called swaminathan Madhawan r all names of south Indians
while i reside in west part of India
I m writing this from Mumbai, the second largest populated city in the world.

I m 22 yrs. old working for an Indian Multinational, the largest Indian
construction company (Larsen & Toubro Ltd.).

I am ready to send my passport copy,PAN Card,Company ID scanned if thats the
proof u want finally. I have no more proof to give.(Pl.send me ur email id if u
want the proof). I joined this forum out of sheer curiosity. Although I am a
chess player, I had no background of computer chess and just wanted to know more
abt it. I have learnt C++,JAVA,VB in the past and wanted to build my own
program.

Why u r against me has left me wondering whether all persons from western world
hate Indians.


Regards

Vikrant
