Okay, so we're getting some specifics, but there are still many unanswered questions - particularly as, to my understanding, the "Indo-Canadian community" of Vancouver is somewhat divided politically, and no doubt personally, and that's putting it mildly.

You mention "grievances", in the plural - what are the other "grievances"? Are some of them legitimate? Is this business of the national anthem, if it actually is a grievance, the main one?

What is the source, or a source, of this story? Does 150 mean 150, or was it really 75? Did "more than 25 people" actually speak at the meeting, or was it 20 people? Were they in agreement? How fair a representation of Vancouver's Indo-Canadian community were they (and, honestly, I don't think it makes sense to talk of one Indo-Cdn community in Vancouver).

Sorry, but I don't have much faith in most journalists.
