Extremist Republic Of India!

There seems to be a competition in India as to who can be more radical, the Hindu Right Wing or the Isamic Right wing or the Christian Right wing or the Sikh Right wing or ..self appointed moral police.... They come in many names and flavors, but each of them is a moronic organization wanting to turn india back to middle ages.

I am ashamed at what happened in the Mangalore Pub today, and its high time the Indian society as such starts condemning rather than condoning such acts of hooliganism. Is there no Law and Order in this country? Who the hell are these self appointed guardians of Morality? Today they beat up teenagers in a pub, tomorrow they will demand women not work, or study or wear what they want, Does India even have a Police and Judiciary anymore? I think this is criminal and actually crime PAYS IN INDIA at the moment.

We beat up people for everything, for writing sign boards in english, for naming shops in a certain way, for writing books, for making movies, for painting, for being Hindu, for being Muslim, for being Human, for being WOMAN, for being MAN for lack of it. India is going down the drain,SAVE IT NOW please, and i don't want people, i want the law to uphold its neutrality, I plead to the judiciary with folded, hands, please, for India's sake stop this nonsense hooliganism, stop these facists and self appointed guardians of morality from running parallel justice in India.

Ban these organizations for God's sake, and all those who distributed sweets when the Hyderabad police gunned down 4 alleged culprits of the acid attacks, today you are celebrating delivery of instant justice, but tomorrow you would have created a monster without accountability, we as citizens can not afford to lose faith in judiciary and take law into individual hands, for God's sake, lets not make India another Afghanistan. I am not sure, how to explain, I don't know if PIL's help, I am not sure the politicians would learn form our neighbor and understand the risks of encouraging religious extremism and moral policing by any group?

Today, on the eve of Republic day, I am once again ashamed of my country, even after so many days, this so called republic can not give freedom to individuals, to thoughts, to ideas. We need moral policing, we need groups like the Ram Sena, Bajrang Dal, The Imams who give out Fatwas in Dozens to decide how we dress, how we paint, how and what we read, how we live. Good luck to Extremist Republic of India :(

Legitimising Terror - The Liberal Way!

I think the West is self obsessed, be it America or the UK, even most of Europe,after the initial sympathy they offered to India, now they want to rationalize and legalize terror in the name of "Kashmir".

• The Liberal Arguments from the so called "Liberal", "Democratic","Rational", " First world" west is that, Kashmir is an elephant in the room for India, and if through the instrument of terror, which actually kills and maims Indians in the central India, another state can actually legitimately legalize the action of its so called "Non State Actors" in the name of terror.
• So, if 10 Pakistanis, mind you its 10 Pakistanis and not 10 Kashmiris, trained in sophisticated commando operations, attack India, and kill 178 people, the world actually endorses the pain of these "Pakistanis" for the "Kashmiris" and thinks India should talk and cede Kashmir with the gun on its head. Is this the ideology that the west has based itself on? Is this what Abe Lincoln fought the civil war on and united Americans? Is this the premise on which the British solved the Northern Ireland Issue? Is this the way, secular, democratic governments cow down and surrender their union to the wishes of "non state actors" who take the worlds largest democracy to hostage?
• The world needs to respect India for just one thing, first and foremost, it is THE WORLDS LARGEST DEMOCRACY, like it or not, and if anyone thinks, ANY ONE , they can cow India down to cede Kashmir by using the GUN, i would just say, "Bring em on!".
• Another hundred MUMBAI INCIDENTS can NOT wrest Kashmir from India, another 100 million deaths can not, any one who wants to test it is welcome.
• India agrees that Kashmir is a dispute, we were talking in every way possible to Pakistanis and Kashmiris and the west needs to understand the complications of the Issue. First of all, there is no concept of "Freedom" for Kashmir, as there is no legal base for this argument, Kashmir can either go to India or go to Pakistan, there is no third option in the UN Resolutions of 1948. Anyone questioning this can actually go to the united nations website and have a look at the PDF document online. So, those who are peddling the idea of "Azadi" for Kashmir are either stupid or naive.
• At least, the document on UN website proves that Freedom is not an option, so how can Kashmir get freedom, it can happen only when India gives up on it and allows Kashmir Freedom, like some recent west European nations did, but then, would Pakistan give up its part and allow a full independent country called Kashmir? It is not a part of state policy of Pakistan, as it has always insisted that Kashmir belongs to Pakistan and never actually supported freedom. The other option is the Bosnia way, which would be an all out war against India by International Forces to liberate Kashmir and Balkanise INDIA, well, I don't know if any realist would bet on that happening.
• So, narrow political appeasement of nations and short sighted solutions of breaking up countries will lead only to more blood shed, the only solution is to make it clear to nations that "Terror" can not be implemented as a state policy and its cost would be punitive.
  I am not surprised, for, in some societies, the length of the mini skirt decides the amount of democracy and free thinking, rather than "Neutrality" of thought and action.
• Liberals are also extremists, just because, they also subscribe to a far end view of the spectrum not supported by the majority. My message to the West, PLEASE DO NOT PREACH WHAT YOU WOULD NOT FOLLOW!
