[Reader-list] The updated list of killings by the firing of armedforces

[Shuddhabrata Sengupta]

Dear Radhika,

Well, in this case some  "protesters who claim to be peaceful,  
holding sticks, guns and resort to arson and riot" were "garlanded."  
I am referring to the ones in Jammu. You will recall, that not a  
single policeman or soldier or paramilitary personnel were killed in  
Kashmir. But two policemen did die in Jammu, and some truck drivers  
assaulted by the 'peaceful' protestors in Jammu also succmbed, I  
suppose in your opinion, "peacefully"  from their injuries. Gujjar  
huts were burnt in acts of "peaceful" arson. The crowds in Kashmir  
who were fired upon, 50 of whom were killed at the last count, did  
not bear weapons. We all saw the television pictures. They threw  
stones, like angry crowds do everywhere in the world.

The government did not garland these protestors, it clamped  
indefinite curfews and shot to kill. One the other hand it did  
garland the protestors on the other side of the Banihal pass. it held  
some leaders under the Public Safety Act, and then released them. It  
counducted 'negotiations' with the leaders of the peaceful protests  
in Jammu and garlanded them with a sham 'accord'. All these prove  
that if you happen to belong to the right place, sport the right kind  
of name, then even if your 'peaceful' protest turns occasionally  
violent, you can still be garlanded.

After all, we live in the country whose government called its nuclear  
weapons tests in 1974, 'peaceful implosions'.

In the novel, '1984' George Orwell, whom I have referred to in an  
earlier posting, wrote about how in the language perfected by   
fictional regime that he was decribing, (newspeak) 'PEACE' was 'WAR'.

are you not indulging in a little modest 'newspeak' Radhika, surely,  
you can do better than that?

warm regards

Shuddha
