Moderators pls excuse for posting non-technical, though context is well
with-in how the thread has shaped up.

I reckon we all know what qualifies as objectionable. It doesn't come with
a clear border. Quoting an analogy none-the-less

While walking its my freedom to swing my arms. If i want to swing them 90
deg on either side, i have the freedom - if i can swing them 90 deg  to
start with. While swinging if it hits people walking front & behind, then
my freedom is encroaching theirs. That's why there is no clear border.

I see no issue in OP using Namaste in salutation. Pls do remember this
group is called 'India Linux User Group - Chennai'. It includes
Linux/India/Chennai. So if i am to loose sanity for moment, can i say that
people from other districts on TN aren't allowed to participate? No, as
long as the post is about technical & Linux anyone is welcome. Salutation
doesn't matter in a technical post, so why make big issue on that. I hope
you agree techies care only how well the question is posted, rather than
salutation.

To be frank your first response in this thread, with solution, was the
correct response until it was spoiled by you bringing 'Namaste' as note.
All  other response are waste of resource.
