Afzal Guru is hanged and with this the valley is burning. It is time that the government must think of abolishing the death penalty. Crime does not end with execution. Neither will terrorism be over with the hanging of Afzal. Terrorism is an ideology and must be countered by ideological minds. It is time; we look the entire Kashmir issue from the perspective of Kasmirirs and not make Kashmir a symbol of India’s ‘secular’ consciousness. Let Kashmir be freed from this bondage of Islamic Kashmir or secular Kashmir. Let it enjoy the freedom like any other state. It is beyond doubt that Kashmiris today feel that they are being put on ‘test’ under ‘Indian nationalism’ which has very little to do with the issues in Kashmir.

MARTYN Whittock’s recent chronicle of Nazi Germany offers “ a bizarre insight ( into) the fate of Mickey Mouse under the Third Reich†. People in India cavil at the comparison between ‘ Hindutva’ India and Nazi Germany. True we are not in a declared on- going war although some Hindutva ideologues think we are. Muslim and other groups are also censorial. But they pale away when compared with the ferocity of Hindutva intolerance. Pakistani artists like Mehdi Hasan are not allowed to perform in India — more so than Michael Jackson who went to meet ‘ the’ Shiv Sena supremo for permission.
