I too find it hard to understand the line of reasoning that Arwin has started,
and what the analogy between Maoists and Goans is, and why he thinks that India
is a "pseudo-secular" country from that. The question that he needs to answer
is simple.
Does any cause justify aggressive violence involving murder of hundreds of
people each year, which the Maoists are doing?
Nearly 4000 people have been killed as a consequence of Maoist violence in
India since 2005.
Cheers,
Santosh
