Anil on violence. Is one kind of violence more justified than the other? Does violence beget violence? Can we actually sympathize with a violent person if we identify with their cause? (Hat Tip – Shruthi)
A Little Wit. A Little Wisdom. Lots of India.

Large parts of the post are out and out Terror-apologist in nature. Does Desi-Pundit intend to put-up stuff that are apologistic to terrorists?

Bangalore Guy: I think the post is about intentions and consequences and the cycle of violence. It doesn’t justify the violence, nor rationalize it. It talks of certain dilemmas in judging violence. (or that is my reading of it anyway.)

Neha,
The post romanticised Naxal violence. And instead of asking for better delivery of justice via the law, championed violence, by the naxalites. When this country’s 150 odd districts are being threatened by the Naxalites, I would think its a terror-apologist post.
Srijith,
That’s a get-out-of-jail card. If Desi Pundit isnt a collective of Individual views, it might as well be the “state” of Orwell’s 1984
