[Reader-list] BRUTAL MAOIST

[Patrice Riemens]

Everybody knew (and even I in a certain sense, though I was only 7 yrs
old), that 'we' (in France) had a real war on the hands in Algeria, when
in 1957, the night trains stopped running there. This is what I feel for
India right now - but allow for and excuse the association - everyone
makes the one that  'resonates' with her or his own context.

Bipin's argument unfortunately also resonates with the reactionnary
'Algerie Francaise' French people of the day (I know, my mother was one of
them): demanding for a  'total' war than could not be won - and was not.
The Algerian independence movement, FLN, was dubbed by the same people
also 'worse than terrorists' btw.

The problem with India (besides being 'North india' ;-) is that it is not
one nation but many, or at least two - the one of the haves and the one of
the have-nots. And they are falling apart more everyday. And the nation
that thinks it will win by military might will not in the end. Nether
probably will the other, alas.
