Nobody really cares if an army jawan was killed or how many are killed. It doesn't matter if he was NOT the one involved in the killing of Mahanta. All that matters is that he is in the Indian army. It was his own damn fault for joining the Indian army and getting imbroiled in the mess. -:)

I would say that it was good that so many people raised the issue of Ajit Mahanta's unfortunate death -even if he had been guilty he should have been subjected to a proper trial. It is under pressure only that so many Army officials are not able to sleep at night and doing something to pacify.This is the role of the civil society - without which democracies can turn inot dictatorships --thru army generals --see Pakistan currently and earlier or Chile under Pinochet or many others.Hopefully, civil society will keep up the pressure. However, it seems from the newsmedia that in the rallies that followed Mahanta's death -- innocents were puished towards the army bullets while ULFA cadre killed and injured the CRPF soldiers etc in the melee.It is just a gesture, a gesture nevertheless in the right direction._______________________________________________
