I agree with Bijulal's write-up to a very good extent and would like to say that I liked reading the piece but my point is when we refer to Gaza, Jaffna and Kashmir, we should also look towards the struggle of our own tribals in Jharkhand, Bastar in Chhattisgarh and Orissa as well, who are trapped in the naxal violence. It's easy to refer to some foreign nations but right under our nose, a different sort of terrorism is growing. the left extremism is breeding in our backyard, who have Das Capital, which they treat like their bible and, Mao, Lenin and Marx as their trinities, so we have reasons to believe that Naxalism is nothing but left-fundamentalism and is as dangerous as the religious fundamentalism. The followers of the red-book are ruthless and remorseless- just like the LeT, Taliban, al Qaeda and other terrorist organisations. The Islamic terrorists may be having the sense of choosing people before killing them but these left-fanatics lack that sense. Instead they take pride in killing their own people.
