This happened yesterday, killed by Communists.

All the seculars, communists, eminent citizens and fellow PDF people who were so hurt by Gauri, let me ask you frankly - Did you even know of this murder until I posted here?

Hence, though I condemn Gauri's killing, I don't sympathise with your cause. Your cause is biased, period.

Nobody needs your sympathy. If you had, that would have spoken well of you. You didn't, it doesn't. Period.

I knew about Gauri Lankesh before you posted the news on the forum. We none of us sympathised with her extreme views, but she was killed by two cowards, some of us, the most defenceless of us, were threatened and intimidated by the same lot. This is not something that started happening today, this is a story a decade long.

Scanning the papers and taking out something similar that people haven't stood up against proves nothing. It certainly doesn't prove bias; it proves nothing beyond the point that some cases get to be known better than others. It does not invalidate any protest of the kind that took place if it happens that every similar murder is not protested similarly. We have considered this, again, not in this discussion, but numerous occasions before.

Your premises are selectively taken, your objection is banal.

I don't contest this fact sir.

This news was selectively taken to prove a point. I understand your position. I don't think you are one of those people who are selective about these things but I have deep apprehensions about a lot of people who did make her murder a mockery in media.

Frankly the murder of this journalist today will not debated by some of the usual suspects.
Gauri deserves justice for what happened to her - No one can debate on that fact.

What is also fact is that journalists who are killed need similar alacrity and attention from everyone. A journalists murder is not like any other murder simply because a journalist works on public interest issues and are often loggerheads with the establishment.
Hence, why I am questioning the lack of alacrity and urgency in dealing with murders of journalists OR to put it bluntly, why only Gauri is getting the attention? Are other Journalists deaths not worth the investigation or time? Or proximity to certain circles determines the extent of outrage and hence - need for justice & corresponding outrage?

I agree completely with the view that every death by violence deserves investigation, detection and punishment, and that Gauri Lankesh should not be defended alone, because of her public image and social prominence.

I also accept that not all who have protested her brutal murder are equally moved by other similar deaths.

Having said that, I reiterate that it is not necessary to individually and separate every single untimely death to possess the credentials to protest any one of those deaths.

OMG you have solved the case

Have you informed the press ?

I reply only to preserve your original post, to demonstrate how brutal and callous you are and how wholly consumed by hate for anyone and everyone not aligned to your views. You must be a very isolated being, to possess such twisted thinking and hate-filled attitudes.

You are not worth dislike, you are merely to be pitied.

Sir, I am protesting against the establishment, not individuals

I really don't know what to make of you. On more than one occasion, you have started with an outrageous position, but on a detailed discussion, have defended your point of view with sensitivity and reasonable arguments. Please wear either a black hat or a white one, and save me from this continued confusion.

Since I believe in rebirth I am indifferent to death, unlike the christianised hindus like you.

It is ghouls like you who secretly cheer at the death of a journalist and use their dead bodies to propagate your hate for Hindus and Hindutva.

My contempt for you remains unabated.

If only your actions and words matched your high-sounding philosophy. Behind that claptrap about belief in rebirth and indifference to death lies an envious and hate-filled personality unable to express itself except with the most terrible poison against all who oppose him, or what he believes to be his sanctified positions. Every post of yours reveals the insecurity that generates all this hate, all this violence, and, not least, all this very energetic seeking of attention.

Your contempt matters to no one of even marginal sanity; for normal people, it is a joke. One might as well take into account a dog's melancholy longing to have been a great artist. Or perhaps a star of the Real Madrid football club. About as relevant.

Highlighted part is intentional sir.
I look around the world and see that those who are outraged are the ones who tend to get more attention or early justice.

The more outrageous the position, the early a debate "starts". And starting the debate is what I want to do. I want people to understand that the left is not all hunky dory and the right is not all evil. The truth lies in the middle and our "interests" determine the lens we want to wear to see these two groups.

I don't believe in Black or White. We are all different shades. I would look suspiciously at anyone who claims to be either. There is bad in best of us and there is also good in the worst of us but most people lie in between, capable of great good or bad given the circumstances.

Shameless bastards these commies are. He was abducted and killed by IPFT sure. BJP is not even remotely related to IPFT . THat is why the dead silence of liberals.

Exactly why we need to call out sections of media who are not outraged enough.
Exactly why we need to call out certain political parties who are not outraged enough.

I feel dirty calling out. It leaves bad taste comparing murders.
Do I see any alternative? Especially when murders have become a tool to hit out at Hindutva(Hindus), we need to do distasteful things like comparing murders and the corresponding outrage imbalance.

Do you know how many books were written by the 'seculars' on 2002?
Want to compare the number of books written by the same section on Kashmiri Hindus? A telling statistic if one want's to compare.

A telling article detailing the liberal façade.

http://www.firstpost.com/politics/l...-freedom-of-expression-debate-is-4067823.html

An excerpt from the article which aptly details what's wrong with the "liberal" narrative.

The lavish love showered on Chatterjee adequately proves the fundamental inconsistency in the liberal argument. It is hatred, illiberalism and fascism when done by the other side, and 'joke', 'rebuttal', 'irreverence', 'dissent' when done by their own, and any action is an 'over-reaction'. It also shows they have one inflexible and fundamental philosophy in life: For my friends, everything, for my enemies, nothing.

hmmm Sanghi trolls dont know that IPFT is backed by BJP !!!

The murder of Bhowmik has triggered massive protests, allegedly with the tacit support of CPM cadres, across Tripura and Left leaders have sought to blame the BJP for orchestrating the IPFT movement in a bid to make political in-roads in the state that has seen Manik Sarkar firmly in the chief minister’s saddle for four consecutive terms.

BJP leader:



This tells you who might have killed her.

very few people in bangalore know about her

No libtard here will dare to comment on below.
A journalist was brutally burnt to death by the "secular liberals" in UP.

Watch his dying words.

Not one word was spoken by the same libtards because the journalist killed is NOT from their "gang".
I spit on the Indian secular liberalis who are so duplicitous and venomous that they have lost all objectivity.
