[Reader-list] FIR and this list

[Inder Salim]

Dear all

i think it right time, not only on this List, but else where, to
launch a campaign in defense of Roy and others. The intellectuals of
this country should stand up and take a side. It is time to say the
truth.

i once jokingly told Mr. Aditya R Kaul, i guess three years back that
he is Parveen Tagodia of Kashmiri Pandits, and so no surprises

there are many instances in history

one is trail of Jean Genet when Jean Cocteau organized support for his release.
and the Govt was forced to withdraw charges against him...

About Genet  "with Foucault and Sartre to protest police brutality
against Algerians in Paris, a problem persisting since the Algerian
War of Independence, when beaten bodies were to be found floating in
the Seine"

His last work ' The prisoner of Love' is about Palestinian struggle
for freedom, and in that sense, we are not far from that Trial of
Genet, although for reasons not directly connected to politics, but
yes about something very deep: what is State and what is Law?

Here, it is about Kashmir, so yes, Jeebesh is right "Lets think hard."

love
is
