Extremism

The violence in Bangalore reminds me of what Salman Rushdie said that the extremism will die a natural death. Political turmoil, government inaction, hyperbolic ideas and unwarranted actions will provide means for extremism to have a natural birth. Unless and until the world becomes more moderate, I feel only the extremists will die a natural death but not extremism.

what u mean by moderate? Well there are a set of people who grow extremism.. ooru rendu pata kuuthadiku kondatam solluvangala.. athu unmai.. so our politicians, top notch businessmen, world leaders all will silently help in the organic growth of extremism.. there is no way to get out of this.

Raz, moderates are exactly those who did not do what you said in your comment.

In todays senario, there cannot be a moderate world. It has become like the survival of the fittest and total exploitation of situations. Raz sonna madri oor rendu pata kuthadiku dhan kondatam. So sadhikaranga eriyara kollila ennaiya viduvanga. So nalla pathikitu eriyanumnu. They would take this oppurtunity to gain an upper hand over both the parties in the fight. Kali kaalam!
