Most favoured nation with Most undeserving neighbour

India has a glorious past, historical importance, cosmopolitan culture and a civilisation based on concepts of tolerance, forebearance and compassion. The expatriates of indian origin excel in countries they have legitimately immigrated to esp U.S.A. the culture of 'Sarva Dharma Sambhav' and 'Vasudaiva Kutumbakam' which means all religions convey the same message and in essence are the same and this world is one family originated on Indian soil which are now regarded as values and virtues of timeless wisdom. However after acquiring freedom from british and the nightmarish and unfortunate two-nation theory propounded by certain power hungry and avaracious opportunists under the garb of crusaders of certain religion has left an indelible mark on the psyche of a certain generation and is an unforgettable event in history.


India chose to be secular whereas pakistan declared itself to be an islamic nation governed by the ordains of islamic scriptures with a functional army, air force and judiciary. It also incorporated certain vestiges and relics of colonial era. Ironically indian muslim population outnumbers pakistan population of muslims. Pakistan's territorial hegemony and unwarranted aggression has led to two wars one in 1965 and another in 1971 in which bangladesh was carved out and separated from it and not to forget the decade old low intensity kargil conflict which India succeeded in warding off the mercenaries and regain its territories. Pakistan has still not learnt its lessons after losing in conventional wars, it takes recourse to proxy wars, so called jehadi missions, fidayeen attacks and covert operations under the guise of liberating kashmir which is integral part of union of India.


Pakistan despite being the fountain head of terrorism and laboratory of islamic extermism has been made to taste its own medicine by being a victim of its home grown terrorism and patronage to such outfits who are unleashing havoc under the garb of retaliation of alleged oppression on muslims which has no reasonable or logical justification. The 26/11 terror attacks perpetrated on Mumbai stirred the conscience of civil society and woke up the political dispensation from the slumber of redundancy of an anti terror law and the soft peddaling approach towards terrorism as it has always tried to link security with vote bank considerations which has made the country bleed every now and then. the lone gun man of 26/11 terror attack has become the most controversial accused in the hisotry of post independence India. The investigation in the matter has been extremely sensitive, high profile and also complicated, as a nation committed to rule of law and abiding by a written constitution he ought be given a fair trial but the media hype, the kind of security given to him, the endeavour to provide him a lawyer of the best kind which is quite difficult considering his nationality is in question, his callousness and brazen nonrepentance for his alleged act sends shockwaves in the minds of right thinking members of a civilised set up. one school of thought advocates his survival and conviction will unearth pakistan's double standards and expose their skeletons in the cupboard and another school of thought preaches he deserves to be bumped off considering the magnitude of the crime he is alleged of, however my conscience says he should be tried speedily without inordinate delays on flimsy grounds, it is an open and shut case, his guilt is likely to be proved beyond reasonable doubt so he deserves to be given the gravest and most stringent punishment prescribed by the doctrine of penology we follow and for political considerations he should not be given any sort of preferential treatment and no mercy should be shown to him on account of his age as its only a perverted mind that can be subjected to such kind of horrific indoctrination. let the truth prevail!

The exposure of Kasab's perversion and the reasoning behind having a quick trial is very well represented.
