Dear Naishadh

Greetings to you

(d) can even be all the existing privileged classes like SC, ST, OBC, Muslims, Anglos etc. its not a big deal. It only means that money will be spent on them (through their leaders) so that they do not oppose withdrawal of reservations. Of course entire political class / parties will calculate the numbers and not a single one will publicly oppose withdrawal of reservations. So it needs a different strategy as the Kumar & Kumar Co. has shown us.

IAC does not hold any brief for Sanjay Dutt or his shenanigans. IAC only has a certain (very advanced) point of view on "arms for all" which is not intellectually palatable to honest / decent citizens at the present time.

Sufficeth to say that the leading intellectuals of HRA are united that India needs a 2nd Amendment, and that all citizens, especially minorities, need protection against the State if the State is to be scared of its citizens.

"Citizens should not be scared of their State, the State must be scared of its citizens".

Dear Sarabjit,

As on my part, I fully concur on your points stated at (a)(b)(c). However, point (d) needs to be refined in terms of what is "backward Groups"? -economically, socially, educationally etc.?

On the Issue of Sanjay Dutt, I feel finality of SC judgment need to be disturbed just on the ground of a celebrity claiming fable pretext of self defence. Shanti Bhushan may gain fees or fame as a lawyer. Mr. Katju may embroil in political imbroglio. But IAC ought to take an intellectual stand on SC Judgment needing no review merely on the ground of Dutt claiming self defense or Zebunnisa claiming humanitarian sympathetic ground.
