[Reader-list] Islamic fanatics hack lecturer's hand

[Inder Salim]

Dear Malik sahib
i too have my doubts about the courage of the state to bring culprits
to justice...
but wait what is Law in the first place... dont we see an ' invisible
hand ' operating between Religion and the State, everytime...
 to enter the power game, we often need some blood of the innocent or
a bold mind( professor's hand ) to maintain the adrenaline level of
the state-religion embrace  ...

it dont see the people as problem as Mr. Kshmendra sees...
we somehow need to create spaces for the the new voices/rebles to
express their opnions freely, without fear...
else we have this violence which actually helps the state to throw
laws on our faces to make us look more distorted than we are....

the best will always come from people if the state gives the people
the confidence which they deserve, but unfortunately we have
politicans and religous groups saying that ' two wrongs dont make one
right" which is very sad

best
is
