hi santhosh raises a very pertinent question. RSS has the history of extremism/terrorism and yet it's given clean chit in the name of cultural organisation. As 'islamic/naxal extremism' is a stereotyped term, one should be able to read btn the lines of these narratives of terror. Only muslim/subaltern convicts are sentenced In Nandigram the women raped were all dalits whenever such heinous acts of cultural/social/political atrocities occur muslim/dalit becomes the victims in India... why? As S Anand recently wrote in Tehelka, the Indian intelligentia rallied behind Prof Shivji Panikkar and his student Chandramohan, the same never happened in the case of dalit doctors of AIIMS , new delhi, who are fighting against the caste atrocities of Director, Dr Venugopal and other "upper" caste faculty members of AIIMS... Some feminists (of coourse "upper" caste, as Indian feminism is a brahmin woemn 's movement) while discussing abt to arrange protest march agaunst the arrest one activist doctor (forgot name) in chattisgarh, suggestd protest in front of AIIMS the same feminists were not seen when dalit/OBC doctors came out and protested against caste atrocities in AIIMS.... this is our civil society....then what else can we expect from State??? regards
