[Reader-list] Convention on War, Democratic Rights and Peace Processes>> Sunday, 11th Jan 2009, 2-7 pm, Constitution Club

[Lalit Ambardar]

It is hoped that the issue of Pakistan sponsored pan Islamism inspired terrorism that raised its head in Kashmir when Kashmiri Hindu Pandits were subjected to ethnic cleansing in the valley twenty years ago & is now targetting  rest of India with impunity (26-29/11 Mumbai carnage being the latest bloody attack) also features in the convention.
It is almost a week now  that our forces are fighting the pan Islamists in Poonch & the civil society is silent about the incursion....????....
Regards all
