Well, many whistleblowers have been killed in India too.
Binayak Sen was arrested not too long ago. Isn't that silencing of a 'sane voice' ? What did the Union Govt. do when Amnesty International condemned it ?

But yet, the spread of extremism is a real big concern.

^^^^^^^^^You are no-one to decide the saneness of Mr.Binayak Sen!!!!!!He might be raising his opinions for the forest dwellers but it should not be at the cost of our constitution and his pro-naxalite opinion is un-constitutional as our constitution is democratic in nature,whereas the Naxals have a brutal dictatorial agenda!!!!Also the court proceedings concerning him were witnessed by observers of the EU so,the court will decide Mr.Sen's fate............
