A prelude to violence

Gandhian satyagraha, for example, is a kind of political theatre. In order for it to be effective, it needs a sympathetic audience( the British public was largely so) unlike in Kashmir (much of the Indian public remains apathetic to the suffering of Kashmiris) so it is “Insane” and similar to asking Jews to protest peacefully against Nazis or asking Vietnamese to do a Satyagraha against the Invading Yankees . International media is already referring to the Kashmiri protests as “Intifadha”(uprising against the state), the Slogans on the Streets of Kashmir are changing from Chants of “Azadi” to “Death to India”. JKLF which is a secular “separatist” party is being eclipsed by the “Pro-Pakistani” Hurriyat party due to the arrogance of the Indians. Iam finding “Seemandhra” public largely apathetic to the Telengana movement (except few back ward castes) and the central govt is in a deep slumber and in order to wake it up I think it needs a rude awakening and when telenganites get tired of being called “Separatists” and “anti-social elements” by their “Seemandhra Counterparts” they may have no path left except of their northern Kashmiri brothers and I don’t have much confidence in the capabilities of the govt to shield 3 million “settlers “ from the fury of 4Crore angry souls.
