Hi Mayur:
First off, your and others like you who are unwilling or
intellectually unable to grasp and acknowledge that the violence
spawned by Kashmir has a reason, has a clear and well documented
history of its origins and its steady worsening; leaves you, Rajib Das
and others with no credibility at all.
The bomb blasts at Delhi designed to kill and maim civilians are
unconscionable.
But that does not absolve India of its complicity in producing
such mindless violence that has gotten bloodier by the decades. And
the blood of the innocents are on the hands of those who were unable
or unwilling to raise their voices against their national
policies.
How does one then explain the heart-bleed only when innocent
deaths strike close to home? Is it not the lust for real-estate over
people? Have you shed a tear over the 200 thousand Kashmiri dead? Are
they not people? Were they all blood-thirsty killers that deserve to
be mowed down by Indian guns: Men, women, children and the aged and
the infirm alike? How do their humanity continue to escape you?
>They will try to
>justify by insinuating to India's obsession with 'real
estate'.
*** JUSTIFY, heh-heh! Trying to spin out of an intellectual bind,
aren't you?
But words will not let you off the hook. If it is not me, someone
else, somewhere else, will point out WHY it continues to happen. You
cannot run away from what you know!
And I will stand corrected, when you or anybody else can explain
how it is anything but lust for the real-estate minus the people who
call it home.

Well said Rajib. It was extremely heart-wrenching. I
read the tragic incident of two Assamese families on
yesterday's internet edition of AT and Dainik
Agradoot. But people whom you are trying to address
with the example of this unfortunate event will never
acknowledge the disastrous effects and futility of
this kind of mindless violence. They will try to
justify by insinuating to India's obsession with 'real
estate'.
You can wake up people who are sleeping.
You can't wake up people who are pretending to be
asleep.
Most of the people who are supporting ULFA have got
their own vested interests. For the time being, I
don't mind giving benefit of doubt to a few netters
who are supporting ULFA due to my firm belief in the
adage that no one can fool all the people for all the
time.
As regards the desire to sacrifice life for a cause,
less said about it is better. From the early nineties,
we have seen how our guys start confessing their
secrets as soon as they are nabbed by police or army.
Compare this with LTTE guerillas. Some of our boys
don't know for what they are fighting. Most of them
are not convinced of the cause. It is like an easy
status symbol. Of course, I don't rule out exception.
I can only hope that vested interests of a section of
the people will take a backseat in the greater
interest of peace and sanctity of human life.
