Many faces of terrorism
Every one knows one side of the terrorism story and very few know or care to know the other kind of terrorism. The one commited by the state and which pales in comparison to all other kinds of terrorism because its the duty of the state to protect its citizen regardless of their cast creed or religion.

These are still nothing in comparison to some that I have personally known, things that have happened to family friends or distant relatives. Would any one stand up for justice to these people? The answer is clear, none would because in the 'us' and 'them' divide 'they' are the ones who have no rights.

The Armed Forces are in a need of urgent reforms!
Power in the hands of anybody is dangerous and it needs to be handled with care!

Yeah rightly said,I always wonder how can we provide so much power in hands of so few people without any mechanism for accountability.
After all we live in a democracy which mean a government by we the people.

Yup! The key word is accountability!
I just hope that the offenders are rightly punished in the above cases!
