This one is best just ignored.  

It's content-free, just a his frightened opinions.  The only thing 
that will change his mind is the improvements planned for releases 
7.2 and 7.3, and lots of deployments.  Few will read his rambling.

I'm not sure there was even a point in there.  The article was rambling
and undirected.  Completely apart from any content, this just seemed like
a badly written article.  I'm not sure that it even merits consideration
in this forum.

I guess anyone can be published on the net.

I can't seem to get at the original anymore, but we talked to Dr.
Soparkar, and is posted a 'followup' of the article to:

http://linuxtoday.com/news_story.php3?ltsn=2001-04-16-009-21-PS-EL-HE-0038

Since I can't seem to get to the original on dqindia.com, I can't comment
on what's changed ...
