Policy of conciliation

It hurts to note the mindset of some purported liberals that time and again flows from their comfy chair idealism and therefore in support of the wrong, transgression and criminals, as echoed in an ensuing op-ed article. The belligerence in Kashmir continues only because of the soft, weak-kneed politics of those who take to the policy of appeasement and who believe in letting sleeping dogs lie (let them even bark as long as they don't do so loudly because we want to enjoy power undisturbed and not rake up issues even though we know that these issues are hoarding to develop into volatile buildups). The chauvinists cannot be persuaded till they are made to understand that in a secular

country, religious fervour will never be allowed any dividend.
