Posted by balaji 10 days ago (http://www.caravanmagazine.in)
This politics of denial—or worse, the legitimisation of Hindu nationalist violence is bound to be counterproductive. Inequality before the law will generate additional frustrations among Muslim youth, preparing the ground for the recruitment of new militants by Islamist organisations.

Posted by balaji 264 days ago (http://outlookindia.com)
The Hindutva rank and file defied its leaders [and destroyed the Babri Masjid] because it felt cheated by them. The Liberhan findings are shoddy and biased, but the disgrace now suffered by the BJP leaders and worsened by their denials is well-deserved.
