[Reader-list] Temples Of Mirpur

[Pheeta Ram]

Don't worry guys, fingers that hit the keyboard can't pick a sword.
Moreover, if we have a look at  the discourses in the public sphere there
hardly exists anything that would incite or lead to violence
against these people. These celebrity intellectuals and activists are there
for a purpose that serves
the strategic operations of both the sides, if there are two sides. Just
think of it, has anybody ever hurt
Naom Chomsky? The fanatics have learnt from past mistakes. They know that
certain people become
everthemore dangerous after they are dead. Our society is already very very
short of Heroes and role models
.Morevoer, these activists have never been of any harm to anybody.Their
parallel economies run on a studied
stance: just don't go off the edge. This will take care of their ratings and
save their skins too, ek khareedo to doosra muft!
