Sidharth, I dont think education has anything to do with human values. I mean, what Indians learn from education is arithmetic and science. History is something that has never been given any importance and the biased perspectives only add in to the confusion. If the teachers themselves have biased views (I know several of them), students cant be expected to become better. I guess people dont realise the value of a human being till they lose somebody close to themselves. And that really sucks.
I dont know, but somehow I feel moves based on war need no language to understand. There was a Korean movie trailer I saw, and I have seen several english and hindi war movies. Its the same. The feelings, the fear and the understanding and love. We fight a war for superiority. But nobody is superior or inferior. All our needs are the same.
Were you being sarcastic when you said that US should take care of Iran? Because you said that you were not happy with the foreign policies, but you still want them go ahead? And IMO, both Afgan and Iraq were the right things to do. Neither Sadam nor Taliban were Gandhis.
Its one of those damned if you do, and damned if you dont things.
Maybe if we (India) stop hiding behind NAM and start protecting our people, then things in J&K would be better than what it is today.
btw, when were you last in TNgr. Pollution levels there are killing young, old, hindus, muslims, dogs, cats alike.
