Dear Hari,
I seriously refute the way you are wrongly interpreting my intentions.
It is never my intention nor style of work to threaten anyone, least of
all a Wikimedian friend like Ravi.
I was only making a legal point that we as a movement should look into
and I have very clearly stated that we should take this concern on
board. I have also amply stated that my interpretation is up for correction.
Ravi, if you think, event remotely, that I am trying to threaten you, I
profusely apologize. If you or the community members think that I was
wrong to take the Tamil Wiki 10 celebration example to illustrate a
legal point [1], apologies for that too. I was only doing it to state a
point without any intention of malice or wrong doing what-so-ever.
Cheers,
Vishnu

Ravi,
While I do not approve of the way this has been worded here or
presented here by you, it does seem like a veiled threat clearly
directed towards you by Vishnu for your speaking out (which has been
quite vehement, to be honest). And an apparent threat like this coming
in from a Program Director does look very ugly.
The worst thing is that it seems to be trying to distract readers from
the actual issues. I sincerely hope that Vishnu shall clear this up
with an appropriate step that befits his position and the respect his
position merits.
And I wish and hope these shall not happen in future.

Is receiving money as an individual from a foreign body in
violation of the Act?
If that is so, won't half of India be violating it?
I have a copy of the Act from the Ministry of Law and Justice and
it doesn't seem to say so.

Hey,
Is there a legal threat for Wikimedia community volunteers in
India getting Individual engagement grants and grants for
running community events from WMF?
An alert regarding this has been raised here:

Any professional legal / financial advise will be much
appreciated.
Thanks,
Ravi
