[Reader-list] Is terrorism growing because we lack a UID? - 133

[Kshmendra Kaul]

Lenses are a great invention.
 
You can avail of their benefits and see shapes and colours as most others see them with their normal vision.
 
Or you can craft the lenses to distort your viewing in whichever manner you choose. 
 
And, you can add hues to lenses to wilfully colour (as you may choose) all that you see.
 
Lenses are mounted on frames. You can choose those frames to blinker your vision to the extent you want to.
 
Some lenses and their frames are very fashionable.
 
Thank you Anupam for clear vision.

Dear Rakesh,

You seem to have connected too many things with a few facts. i dont see the
reason for you drag jessica lall or sardar sarover or elitist hypocrisy to
these issues. even with what you are saying but first lets deal with the
particulars. the only reason is that often me or you or several others fall
into this temptation to draw too many conclusions out of state policy. a
constructive critique of the state or its policies, that's what i feel, lies
in critique or finding loopholes in a particular policy. that way it becomes
easier for the state to address your concerns. i am not sure if my approach
is correct or right but while writing against the administration the policy
implementation officials find it a little easier to tackle with it.

thanks anupam
