SHOCKING VIDEO SERIES - India's War on People at Hom by Gautam Navlakha and Arundhati Roy http://mrzine.monthlyreview.org/2010/nr040610.html

Gautam Navlakha: How many of us have dared raise fundamental issues about what the state has been doing since 1947, since the transfer of power? There's not a single year in the last 63 that we have had since the transfer of power when the state has not been engaged in a war in one or another part of this country. Today . . . [we have] 235 districts -- 122 districts in Jammu and Kashmir, 79 districts in the northeast, and 34 districts according to the government of India -- where some form of armed conflict is going on.

In 235 districts out of 636, there is an armed conflict going on. Does it matter to us? No. I think we are the biggest hypocrites. . . . We talk about peace, we talk about non-violence, we talk about peaceful transformation, we're against political violence and everything, but we don't mean it. I'm sorry we don't mean it, because if that had been so, we would be out on the streets, we would be out on the streets protesting against . . . the wars that the state has launched against our people. In every year that a war has been launched, we have been quiet, because we accept war. . .
