“But both journalists and the Jammu and Kashmir government have maintained a stoic silence on one institution blamed by Justice Jan for spreading falsehood and inciting violence: the media itself.”

Justice Jan. How interesting.

Suppose the Commission was headed by Comrade Arundhati “More Bile Republic” Roy. What would it have concluded? It would have said that Bajrang Dal activists raped the women and carved “Om” on their foreheads with knives before stuffing their guts with burning rags.

Suppose the famous Islamic rights activist Teesta Setalvad headed the Commission. What would she have said? Naturally, that Modi’s men went to Kashmir by Sabarmathi Express to pull foetuses out of these pregnant women.

Justic SriKrishna Commission on Shopian incidents would unequivocally have declared that the victims were last seen being dragged into the woods by Shiv Sena activists on June 5th, and so Bal Thackeray is culpable. (The women were actually found dead on May 29 — but such small matters as chronological order of events don’t matter to this Commission).

The media may not be at fault after all. The Commission was not being run by the right person.

“Based on the accounts of individuals claiming to be eyewitnesses, newspapers said that one victim’s forehead had been smeared with sindoor — an allegation that suggested that the rapists were Hindus, and the rape itself macabre religion-driven hate crime. However, the Commission noted, the red marks on her forehead were in fact blood from a head wound. “The flow of blood,” the report states, “was shamefully distorted and projected as a mark of sindoor.””

I find the mentality of the person amazing. How can he even think of giving good standard of living to all his off-springs. Most of the people will be detered by the economic burden involved in the whole exercise.

If you look closes, this has continues. 21 children have produced 65 grandchildren at an average of 3 per children. What astonishes me is that children have not learnt from their own experience.

As long as one is not impotent, biologically speaking, and avoid contraceptives of any kind, one doesn’t need much within to set up a baby factory. Neither is it difficult to set up a small harem with three women, as long as it has religious backing.
The bigger question is, unlike being in an army, is this worth something having at all?

After reading the article in the link posted by you, I could only think of one slogan

“Do you have it in you? ”

(Indian army catch phrase)

I wrote a on this.

PS – How do I send you a personal email? I could not find it in your blog. May be you get too many hate emails from the sekoolars; a sign that you are doing good work.
