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.

And there indeed was cr...

Discovery of New India book review: Why does the idea of ‘New India’ feel both exciting and uncomfortable at the same time? Do you ever feel like you are constantly being told that India is changing, improving, rising, but no one quite explains what that change looks like when it reaches ordinary lives? You hear the phrase everywhere. New India. It sounds confident. It sounds inevitable. It sounds like progress. But when you pause and ask what exactly has changed, and for whom, the answers begin to feel less certain. That quiet discomfort is exactly where Aakar Patel places you in The Discovery of New India ( Conditions Apply) . Not throug...
