When people who tried to help and uplift the living condition of the poor tribal people is murdered like this, I think our future is very dark. Really sad for father Stan swamy may his soul rest in peace.

[@Amarblr2004]

[@zenzing3156]

Extremely sad.What an end to a Jesuit Priest who was 84 years old. Father had an extremely sad and painful end. RIP, you are in a better place now. The evil that men do, lives after them, the good is often interred with their bones. To dust thou art, to dust thou, internest.We hold our Courts in awe. What we forget is, everybody, Raaja, Rank aur Fakir have to face the court of the God Almighty. That is where Stan Swamy's case will be decided now.

[@legacyrocksful]

Would you please kindly explain that what turned your "Mera Bharat Mahan" into a messy distant dream off recently? If am not wrong, this recent anguish is caused by that supposed "andhbhakts" celebration over Father's death. Then my question is --- were your Mahan Bharat intact when a certain section (still does) celebrated (with much fanfare) the death of our young martyred soldiers...whether it is at the borders or inside Naxal areas? Were you comfortable with that? Were your Bharat was Mahan when Kashmiri Pandit genocide was being underplayed [ and still being underplayed]. My point is certain interested groups have been celebrating the nadirs of their opponent groups and we are perfectly fine with. We, the Indians are being played upon by respective political and non political elements and thus, we keep fighting over religion, caste and ideologies. Its the inevitable truth which we hypocritically have been avoiding for agee

No employment but prices are increasing. PM is renovating the parliament House in the middle of all the mess which he created. If you don't see all these things and see the current government as cancer for the Nation then you better keep quite and do your andh bhakti somewhere else. Edit : The 4 pillar of democracy: Legislature, Executive, Judiciary and Media. All the 4 pillars are dead. Don't bring Hamare jawan and Kashmir into this, the center threw Kashmir away and now they are coming back to it, begging them for votes . Even the UN said why are they denied internet, basic right? You're just one of those IT cell paid actors. Tera kuch nahi hoga. And those Naxal areas right, media doesn't cover them. I'm from those areas where women are raped and murdered by you're so called army but no media has guts to cover it. Kashmiri Pandits , a genocide which happened in the past, I'm talking about the genocide which is happening right now. Their justice can't be denied but if we don't stop the current genocide then it will just be Kashmiri Pandit 2.0 in the making. And bdw the vaccine everyone is getting was forced by the supreme Court of India and even the ex gratia which will be provided, government is just minting money out of the middle class and throwing them below BPL.
