Ravishji,
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->1. Naxalite movement of the present day in certain pockets of the country is a result of a feeling among certain section of the population in that area that they have been economically exploited in the past. So they want to bring about a change in the system through violence and terror. What I wanted to convey on this issue is that by simply using force , we cannot bring to an end this problem. We have to bring in social justice and speedy economic development of the affected areas.

I doubt there's single village in India where social justice and economic development has reached to any level of success (thanks to 50+ years of your favorite family party), but we don't go about killing and terrorizing their fellow countryman towards those goals. Given most Naxals are well funded and armed with weapons better than our security forces, them being some wronged party doesn't cut it. But off late since Left is out of UPA it might be again fashionable to disown them.
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->2. On Malegaon, it is not impossible for a few Hindu individuals to undertake such a terror attack. Our system is no doubt full of many flaws but it has come to such a state where the State will stage manage allegations against senior Army Officer without any firm basis. Regarding delay in the completion of investigations, it is nothing special in this particular case, The entire investigation and prosecution machinery is slow and hence it is taking time.

It is also not impossible for a few Martians to undertake same startegy Ravishji and I can prove it too. Zero cost to tax payer. If you read army history (even Indian army) there's tales galore of govt hanging out Army officers out there - so not first or won't be last (google for Capt Rathur on Samba case). We know perfectly well what Govt and Army are capable of.
Yes slow prosecution machinery and all, but you were quick to pronounce judgment even before Sadhvi's torture had started - if I recall. Any new evidence if I might while accused are still languishing in jail? Compared to them Kasaab who actually did harm ATS in 5 diamond luxury hotel!
The irony I say.
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Just to recapitulate, I am of the view that religion and ideology did not play a determining factor in deciding the fate of the various candidates. Factors like development, programme and good governance in the form of welfare measures undertaken by the Government in power did play a deciding factor. I still feel that the influence of the West on our society will increase in the years to come and therefore the relevance of religion as a determining factor in making oneâs political judgment will continue to shrink. This is not because religionâs importance will get reduced in oneâs personal life.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
When NDA came to power for 13 days, 13 months and then for full term, how important was religion to voters. Babri was in what '92? Agree on religion playing lesser role and non-first family parties that will evolve with time.
