Who am I to question your piety, Umesh?
But thoughtful people would not forget to consider HOW and WHY
people become 'violent'. Those who do, do so at the risk of
destroying their own credibility; like Assamnetters who prefer to
forget HOW ULFA came into being and WHY.
Take a look at:
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/India/Gujjar_unrest_BJP_to_defer_conclave/articleshow/2097036.cms
And don't forget to read all the way through. You might pay attention
to the paragraph:
"She should have acted almost a year ago when she was told about the
growing unease among Gujjars over her election promise to get them
included in the ST category," a party source said.
"She" above being the Maharani herself and the people who are
questioning her judgement are the BJP brass.
I don't take pot-shots at people who get wisdom at hindsight. It is
better than the alternative. But one can't help wondering where they
were when Gujjar disaffections were beginning to boil over as far as
a year back?

C-da,
if violent behavior isn't about creating terror (and terrorism) then
what is? This guy is inciting violence - so deserves to be in prison

Why isn't he now in prison for inciting terror?
**** I don't know Umesh. I thought hard, but hadn't a clue.
Why ? Perhaps YOU can explain to us why. Ram stayed the heck steer
clear of this one.
But I think you really called whats-his-name by the fitting epithet
of "sock of mud".
I tell ya, there are terrorists everywhere . Even in Rajasthan.
Imagine that! I bet it is that ISI again. They are everywhere. Do
you think the people of Rajasthan will forgive him and the Gujjars
for terorizing the Maharani's peaceable kingdom?

NOW, while she did not when the disaffections were brewing?
Maybe Ram has an answer :-).
The latest news is that : National Security Act imposed in Rajasthan.
Under the National Security Act, the District Magistrate can order
arrest without a warrant.
That is desi-demokrasy in its best! !

'Rock of Gibraltar' leading protest

JAIPUR: If the Gujjar agitation is being conducted with a modicum of
military precision, it's because the chief strategist of the
protests is a retired Army colonel, who, his supporters say, has the
qualities of a general.
Col Kirori Singh Baisala rose from the ranks in the Army, from a
lowly sepoy, and is known for his rigidity and commitment, as was
seen when Gujjar mobs across the state attacked Rajasthan police in
coordinated waves, completely overwhelming them.
"Let hundred people die. But we are clear in our objectives. We have
suffered enough and would not go back until we get the ST status,"
he said. Since Monday, he has been sitting with the bodies of six
people killed in the police firing in Pipalkehra village, his native
place.
In the Army, he was called the 'Rock of Gibraltar' by his officers
when he was a jawan.
When the chief minister, Vasundhara Raje, sent her emissary to
invite him to Jaipur and and hold a meeting with her, he
said , "Maharaniji ko kah dijiye ki pahle ek chithi de dein jisme
vachan dein ki sarkar hamein ST status dene ke liye recommend karti
hai, phir meeting mein aoonga (Tell the Maharani to give a letter
promising
ST status, then I'll come to the meeting)."
