[Reader-list] terror in kashmir: what the news wont tell you

[Aarti Sethi]

Dear All,

Shivam posted these on kafila today. I thought they should also be shared
with this list. Please take the time to go through them. They made my blood
run cold. I think everyone would do well to ask themselves if any cause, no
matter how dear they hold it, would justify this violence in their names.
Because this is being done in our names, everyone one of us who carry Indian
passports, everyone of us who pay taxes, everyone one of us who voted in the
elections that formed this government. If this violence is the "means" to
the end of keeping kashmir with India, then perhaps it is time even for
passionate nationalists to ask whether it is worth it to see yourselves
brutalized beyond recognition, to make you complicit in this brutality
beyond comprehension.
