Want to be heard in India? You'd better form a militia http://www.iht.com/articles/2008/10/23/asia/letter.php [...] Yasin Malik once commanded a militant group in Kashmir, waging war against India. Fourteen years ago, he surrendered his weapons and declared himself a "Gandhian." This week, he told me he is struggling to recruit a new generation to nonviolence.
"Gandhi is the person who created and gave the concept of nonviolence to the world," he said. "He inspired Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela. But, unfortunately, in India right now Gandhi is no longer relevant." "I'm in search of Gandhi in the land of Gandhi," he added. "I've failed to find him."
