Debate : Do the ends justify the means...

Note : Give it all a fair thought before you jot down... Flaming and religion-bashing will not be tolerated. Your participation is gladly appreciated. I dunno if you folks remember this incident; a couple of yrs back, the UPSC exam had a question where the emainee had to assert his views on *revolutionary terrorism* initiated by Bhagat Singh. As is typical of the government, hue and cry was not far behind... Anyway, let us look at some facts -   Bhagat Singh was an atheist, considered to be one of the earliest Marxist in India and in line with hi thinking, he renamed the Hindustan Republican Party and called it the Hindustan Socialist Revolutionary Party.

Does India need communal parties?

I think, it was Tan's post on this blog itself, Republic Day Event, where this question was raised. My answer. YES. we need communal parties even in Independent, Secular India.

India’s Most Dangerous Serial Killer Shankariya Kanpatimar Book Review ? This review explores India’s Most Dangerous Serial Killer Shankariya Kanpatimar by Rakesh Goswami . Drawing from police files and interviews, the book reconstructs brutal murders while exposing failures in policing, hierarchy, and recognition. It leaves readers questioning not just the killer, but the system that allowed him to continue. What unsettles you more. The crime itself, or the quiet ways a system fails to stop it?

But some stories refuse to behave. India's Most Dangerous Serial Killer Shankariya Kanpatimar, written by Rakesh Goswami, does not offer comfort. It offers something far more unsettling. It gives you facts. Then it lets those facts sit in silence. You begin reading about a man who killed. Almost invisibly...
