Indian writer Arundhati Roy returns National Award in protest

[haviZsultan]

In every country there will be those that challenge the norms and official line. These people are unique thinkers and paragons and should be treated as such. If no one points out the problems and mistakes of a society the society can never progress. They will always have a single narrative ruled by hatred for minorities and majority supremacy. Such a stance does not allow a nation to look out for the problems and mistakes made.

LOL..was BJP/RSS or Central Government behind it??He applied to Congress Govt for protection,special protection" for a few days was provided.Then he requested for removal of those guards and after which Killers attacked.I condemn those attacks and yes,it is State Police's failure to apprehend those criminals.But does this really this has anything to do with Central Government?

this seems to be a circular argument that i must engage in every time.

on this evening's "halla bol" program on "aaj tak", priyanka chaturvedi ( of the congress ) pointed out that the thought process behind mr. kalburgi's assassination is the same one that runs within many members of the bjp government.

I wonder where was her conscience when 2 RSS man got stabbed,where one died??Perhaps thats due to the reason that CPI(M) workers were behind this,right??

now you want her or me or shahrukh khan to celebrate rss terrorists??

what next, pramod muthalik and babu bajrangi being given padma shri??

One can of course return a reward saying "Govt is not doing enough to stop these attacks on Civilians".but returning reward over some murder is like returning reward over "26/11".

By the way....

RSS pays tribute to MM Kalburgi, says ‘quota must till needed’ | The Indian Express

Apart from Kalburgi, the list that had 80-odd names included former president A P J Abdul Kalam, Gandhian Narayan Desai, ex-Congress chief minister J B Patnaik, RPI leader R S Gavai, BCCI president Jagmohan Dalmia, musician M S Viswanathan, Hindu Mahasabha leader Himani Savarkar, and President Pranab Mukherjee’s wife Suvra.

i laugh but rss is making a mockery of the assassination of mr. kalburgi.

Over the years, Kalburgi had had run-ins with radical elements within his own Lingayat community and the Hindutva fringe over his writing and speeches.

the hindutva people are not "fringe" but comprise a significant chunk of indian population sadly and include also those youth, especially female, who naively see bjp as a modernizer and modi as a hero... but they don't realize that if they are living in the minimal modernity india has, it is because of those who opposed right-wingers ( of all types ) in the last 68 years.

i ask, how can groups like "sri ram sena" and "bajrang dal" and "hindu janjagruti sena" remain in existence after clear proofs of their terrorism??

In every country there will be those that challenge the norms and official line. These people are unique thinkers and paragons and should be treated as such. If no one points out the problems and mistakes of a society the society can never progress.

well said.

the same one that runs within many members of the bjp government.

Thank god he didn't pointed out this as the same thought process of many senior Congress Leaders and many of our countrymen as well.It'd be a major embarrassment.

now you want her or me or shahrukh khan to celebrate rss terrorists??

what next, pramod muthalik and babu bajrangi being given padma shri??

well,If your like minds can cheer for MRS,which is part of RSS along with Jamiat Ulema e hind,then why not??

Perhaps you never even heard about this,right???

are you supporter of a unbiased socialist/progressive movement to lecture pakistan??

i can lecture pakistan, joe shearer can lecture pakistan, arvind kejriwal can lecture pakistan, but not someone who is aligned with a reactionary right-wing movement.

Oh.... Finally the prophetic lines.....

now if the central government is found not condemning a criminal incident or not acting against the members of its larger movement who did the incident, then the government must step down obviously...

1. Let me describe to you what is "Separation of Power"

It is a model of governance in which state is divided into 3 different branches namely legislature, executive and judiciary.
It is the executive who is responsible for any criminal act and criminal, it is the judiciary which decides what is to be done next.
Separation of powers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

2. Let me tell you how political power is shared in India

The Political power in India is shared by three vertical units of governments- The Central government, the state government, and the local government. and it is the damned state government (after local government of course), which is responsible for every incident you blamed on central government.

Why you guys are banging central government for the irresponsibility of rest two tiers?? Why are you guys banging legislative for the irresponsibility of executive????????

if these mediums had been clear-minded, they would have brought impartial and progressive panelists to calmly talk

Yupp, impartial and progressive panelist like you, cause you are sooooooooooooo impartial.
