Elon Musk: An Enigma Inspiring Millions

This is one of the many memes trending on social media that makes an attempt to subtly outline the greatness of this genius named Elon Musk. From conceptualising the Hyperloop to the 1billion dollar investment by Google, Elon Musk is making headlines with his innovative, pathbreaking ideas. He surely is at the top of the ladder of success and seems he isn't going to stop climbing anytime soon. His charisma and brilliance has endowed one and all. In 2015, Forbes placed him in their list of top ten most influential personalities. Elon Musk, branded as a start-up wonder and tech wizard, has come a long way from the guy who dropped out of a graduate program of applied physics at Stanford, founding Zip2, to becoming one of the most successful entrepreneur and founder of 3 billion dollar companies! And that to at just 40! Hats off to the dedication and perseverance of this man.

His unique thoughts and ways of retrospection give him an edge over his peers. From changing perceptions to defining new limits in each and every field, Musk has surely captivated everyone. Perhaps the reason for his mind boggling success is the fact that with his each and every action, he tries to bring about a positive change in our world. Musk aims to fundamentally alter the way we travel, the energy we consume, make Mars a late night conversation topic, and beyond everything,  encouraging each and every one of us to dream, to cross the realms of imagination. This will to achieve in life is what makes him so special.

Never before in CEO history has a man been so lauded, so idolized and so celebrated. However, the rags to riches story of this man has not exactly been a fairytale. Hurdles had to be crossed, Situations tested his mettle, he faced great hardships, but not once did he shy away from his goal. The same people who exalt Elon musk today would likely have made fun of his name or tried to stuff him in a locker as a kid.

Musk’s childhood was horrible according to him, with family dysfunction at home and no respite at school where he was bullied. When asked to recall his worst memory, he smiles and narrates about an incident in high school where he was pushed down a flight of concrete stairs by some peers for not agreeing with them."That is when I truly decided that in order to succeed, I’ll have to be different and think “differently” says Musk. And sure he did. He developed a great interest in books, especially Sc- Fi and Fantasy, often reading till late night. While other kids of his age enjoyed computer games, Musk was the only one to think why he couldn’t make those. So at the age of 10, he taught himself how to program and by 12, he made his first software sale, of a video game called blisters.

His college years coincided with the Internet boom, and desperate to be a part of it, he dropped out of Stanford after just 2 days. He founded Zip2 ,an online city guide, with his brother Kimball’s ambitious as ever, Musk invested almost all the 307 million dollars earned from Zip2 sale and co founded X.com, an online financial services company, with it being renamed PayPal after an acquisition .PayPal was acquired by eBay for 1.5 billion dollars, Musk holding 11% stock.

Never the one to rest on his laurels, he founded Space x in 2003, with the intention of builder spacecraft for commercial space travel. It was a huge success and Musk proved again that if one has the courage and determination to dream, anything is possible. In 2008 NASA awarded the company the contract to handle cargo transportation for the ISS. The boundless potential of space and the preservation of the future of the human race have become the cornerstones of Musk’s abiding interests, and towards these he has founded Musk Foundation. Another Musk venture is Tesla Motors, a company dedicated to producing affordable, mass market electric cars. His venture Solarcity aims at energy conservation and alternate resources for fuel.

Musk has continued to innovate and try to make his dreams a reality. In 2013,he released a concept for a new transport system, known as Hyperloop, an invention that would foster commuting between major cities while severely cutting time travel. Though this idea is still in its nascent stages, no one doubts that Musk would leave any stone unturned in realising his dream. Given his cool professional demeanour, hunk cyborg looks and high stakes life, it’s easy to dirt into superlative dichotomies while trying to describe him. Comparisons with the fictional character Tony stark of Iron Man series have been frequent, but Musk doesn't mind them. All he has ears for is how to make our world a better place to live in. However, one thing is certain that his legacy will stand the test of time and continue to inspire millions.

Leo and His Oscar: A better story than Twilight

We’ve been crying about it years, really, if you go back to watch  Wolf of Wall Street or The Aviator, critically acclaimed for the roles played by Leonardo DiCaprio, we probably understand why is he an actor who's full of adroit. Leo been nominated for six Oscars and eight Golden Globes (and he won for The Aviator in 2005). He has a production company and a non-profit (The Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation), but you know, above everything, when you go to see a Leonardo DiCaprio film, you know that you will definitely see a character being brought to life with complete devotion, free from vanity, well everyone's saying it, 2016 might be Leonardo DiCaprio’s year to finally get the coveted Best Actor Oscar. And we for one sincerely hope he does.

It’s mad to think that Leo, has been acting professionally since the age of five and still hasn't got an Oscar to commemorate it. Oscars have probably overlooked a number of his mind boggling performances, wherein he not only plays a character but also lives it. Here's a list of movies for which Leonardo DiCaprio should've definitely won an Oscar:

1. Inception:

If teaming up with Chris Nolan doesn't get you an Oscar... Like, seriously,  I don't know what will. Inception was mind-boggling and utterly brilliant, yet it did nothing for Leo's Oscar chances. The film itself won four Academy Awards but alas the Oscar was far off. A movie which was so brilliantly written and adroitly cinematographed that the only thing left in the movie was Caprio's charismatic character. To pull off such a complicated plot and serve it with utmost ease to the audience requires caliber and Caprio is definitely the best man for the job. But still the role of Cobb couldn't fetch him an Oscar.

2. The Wolf of the Wall Street:   

The deadly duo of Scorsese and Caprio was back again on screen with a biopic on none other than the wall street con man Jordan Belfort. Those of you who have seen Wolf of Wall Street will surely be rooting that this should have been Leo's Oscar ticket. The actor gives a enthralled performance as Jordan Belfort in this  rollercoaster of marijuana ,weed and what not. This movie not only portrayed how efficient Leo is in getting into the shoes of another man but also in living the character. But then Leo missed the Oscar as Matthew McCounnaughey grabbed one for Dallas Buyer's Club.

3. The Aviator:

When Leo was preparing to star as the obsessive-compulsive billionaire recluse Howard Hughes in The  Aviator, he delved into the world of OCD so much  that he developed the condition himself. Now come on! Leave it to Leo to bring the character alive. But still an Oscar was something that was miles away from his mantle.

 

4. The Departed:

"Are you a cop?" This dialogue probably gave all of us chills. Considered one of the best movies of the decade, this thriller portrayed one of the best and colloquial cast in the history of Hollywood. Ranging from the "Mr. Oscar", Jack Nicholson to Matt Damon, Mark Wahlberg and Leonardo DiCaprio. Despite an equally divided screen time with the ever charismatic Matt Damon, Leo stood tall in portraying the plight of an undercover cop working in a gang. If you feel the cast isn't enticing enough, let me tell that it was directed my the Great Martin Scorsese. Damon and Leo's performances in the film won them Oscar nods but the golden statue was not destined to be for them. 

5. Blood Diamond:

For those of us who had watched Blood Diamond, hear me when I say, No one could possibly carry the role as smooth as he did The South African accent was spot on! And the film also gave the world a look inside the diamond conflict. Trust me, if Leo didn't make you cry by the end, then you can never appreciate true cinema. Leo was nominated for Best Actor in 2006's Blood Diamond, but again was denied the win.

Honourable mentions:

 1.Shutter Island

2.Django Unchained

3.Gangs of New York

4. What's Eating Gilbert Grape

5. Catch me if you can

We might have missed out some movies, but its quite natural isn't it? So many memorable films that it only leaves conundrums whether which one to pick. This year might be Leo's year, if no one else we surely hope that this time Hugh Glass might help him out.

The Revenant again revives hope of Leo finally getting united to his coveted award. I for one,seriously hope that the number of awards he gets in the coming years increases more than the number of women he's been linked to. Just kidding.

The Bitter Truth: And the Oscar didn't go to..

Every year, the interest and anticipation builds up to a feverish pitch leading up to the Oscars in February. The Oscars are perhaps the single most important event in which Hollywood Fans all over the world watch in bated breath as to see who gets global recognition as the best actor/actresses or which movie walks away with the Best Picture. Over the years, we have seen great personalities cherishing their lifelong dream of standing on the podium, holding the coveted trophy in hand. However, what we generally don't realize amidst the euphoria ,is the other great actors who have delivered compelling performances, standing heartbroken. They applaud their compatriots heartily, but at the same time one feels for them. So close, yet so far. There are many such A list actors, who despite being nominated for the awards, haven't won yet. We bring you a list of such actors, who you might feel have won the Oscars, but are still waiting for their moment of triumph.

Gary Oldman:-

A fan once commented,"Whenever I feel the world is in a great state, I read a newspaper, thinking about the people in the Middle East, and remind myself that Gary Oldman hasn't won an Oscar ." How aptly it sums up the general opinion among the people, especially those who have watched this guy breathe life into his characters. Best known for his versatility,From indie flicks to blockbuster franchises, Oldman has done it all. However, it comes as a shock that he earned his first academy award nomination for 'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy', nearly 30 years after his debut, and still hasn't laid his hands on the Oscar.

Edward Norton:-

There has to be something special about you if you win 2 Academy award nominations in your first six roles. But Edward Norton has done just that. With his dedication and brilliant acting, he has done justice to those who backed him, churning out unforgettable performances in Primal Fear, The Illusionist and most notably as the conflicted youth Nazi in 'American History X'. You can truly see how sick and brainwashed he is in the first half. Norton seriously jacked himself up for this role. Secondly, I still don't understand why was not awarded the Oscar for this.

Leonardo Di Caprio:-

Leo and his chase of the Oscar is well documented. Regarded as one of the best of the generation, Leo has enthralled one and all with the diversity of his roles and the intensity with which he portrays them. From Inception to The Wolf of Wall Street, Leo has won over everyone with his acting. Having been nominated for the SIXTH time this year, he is tipped to be the front runner in the race for the Best Actor award. He has got rave reviews for his portrayal of Hugh Glass, a fur trapper in The Revenant, a movie which has swept all awards including BAFTA. I really hope that Leo wins it this time and fulfills his dream.

Johnny Depp:-

Whether it is captivating audiences as Captain Jack Sparrow in The Pirates Of The Caribbean or mesmerising everyone as the eccentric chocolatier Willy Wonka in Charlie and The Chocolate factory, Depp has been phenomenal. His charisma and personality is second to none. Having been nominated for the Oscars thrice, it comes as a big surprise that he hasn't won one. However with a host of other awards in his kitty, and his penchant for venturing out into newer pastures,we cannot just rule him out yet.

Robert Downey Jr.:-

When the list of famous actors yet to win an Oscar is discussed, this man's  name is sure to be on the list. Over the years, he has transformed into a very respected actor, with a huge overseas fan base, primarily due to his role in the Iron man series, .He may be the worlds highest paid thespian, but he is yet to translate that into Oscar gold. He earned his best Actor Nomination in 1992  for Chaplin and another one for his supporting role in Tropic Thunder. An Oscar is not far given his never say die attitude.

Brad Pitt :-

The world famous actor has been nominated three times for his turns in 'The Crious Case of Benjamin Button, Twelve Monkeys and Moneyball, each time just falling short of the Oscar.  Known for his method acting and the seriousness with which he approaches a particular character, trying his best to live like him. Given that he is getting better with age, an Oscar award would sure be his best bet at creating an immortal legacy.

Will Smith:-

The Maverick actor has given many incredible performances over the years, churning both blockbusters and critical hits every year. And so very award season, fans are faced with just one question, Why Hasn't He Won An Oscar Yet? Well this is truly puzzling given the fact that  he is tinsletowns biggest crowd puller.His eerie mimicry of boxing great Muhammad Ali in Ali was heart rendering, so was his performance in The Pursuit of Happyness. Both the times he came agonisingly close. This year too he is in the mix with this role in The Concussion, but might just miss out to Leonardo di Caprio.

Albert Finley:-

The versatile and evergreen actor was first nominated for 'Tom Jones' way back in 1964, the Mancunian actor received further nominations in 1975, 1984, 1985,and most recently for his starring role on Erin Brockovich. He lost out to Benicio Del Toro's Turn in the Traffic for the latter, which sums up his luck. He continues to strive hard for the only trophy missing from his overflowing cabinet.

Jim Carrey:-

The eccentric, funny and sometimes dramatic career of Jim Carrey has been pretty interesting. His performances in both comedy and drama at his peak have earned him global recognition. His roles in Ace Ventura, Pet Detective and Liar Liar launched him as the funniest actor in the 90's. He put on his dramatic pants in The Truman show, the film becoming a poignant glimpse into the future of reality television and it was Carrey's genuine performance and commanding screen presence that turned him into something more than just a comedian. But even after such wonderful performances over the years, his mantelpiece still lacks the Oscar.

Peter Toole:-

From the Lawrence of Arabia in 1962' until Venus in 2006, the mercurial star picked up a staggering eight Best Actor nominations, yet was left empty handed on each occasion. He brings out the emotion required in his characters with consummate ease, giving them a sense of reality. He can certainly be considered unlucky as his Oscar bid wasn't aided by the fact that he faced performances such as Marlon Brando's in the Godfather and Robert De Niro's in The Raging Bull.

Despite their defeats, these men have gone from strength to strength, coming up with better performances and above all delighting the audiences. I am sure that even though they haven't been awarded the Oscar, they will certainly do so and nothing can belittle their contribution to the film industry. Over to the Oscars.

Back to the Future: The Time Travel Paradigm

The Time Travel Paradigm

For centuries people have fantasised about time travel. Many novels and poems have been written about time travel; even movies like Back to The Future were made about time travel. But keeping aside the entertainment factor of time travel, let's discuss whether time travel is truly possible.

While doing my research about time travel, I came across several references, but neither quite made sense. Sure I could travel from Mumbai to Delhi because there is a physical relation of distance between them; but how could I travel from 2016 to let's say 1989? At first this question agitated me all day, until I came across the most satisfying theory. Years ago the multiuniverse theory was proposed by physicists. According to the theory, the universe is continually in a state of expansion ever since The Big Bang took place.

This expansion takes place in the form of a sphere. There may be billions of particles in the universe, but they are still finite; and there is only a limited number of ways they can combine with each other. Hence, at regular intervals a universe like our's repeats itself. Therefore there are almost infinite number of such universes as ours. 

But each one is either at a different stage of time or a result of some different incidents. For example, there might be one universe where Hitler lived on and Germany won the World War, enslaving the entire planet. So the only possible way of time travel is if we could reach any of these universes, and since there are infinite such universes, there is one at every point if time. But if these universes are so far away, how do we get there. Even light would take thousands of years to get there.

The answer is a wormhole. Now let me tell you that a wormhole is a sphere shaped object that bends space time as if it's a piece of paper. Hence, where usually I would have to travel the full length, thanks to the wormhole I just have to poke my way through it, just as a pin would poke through folded paper.

But worm holes do not exists naturally in sizes big enough for humans to fit in with a spacecraft. However, they do exists at subatomic levels where space time usually exists in crumples called quantum foam. But how do I get a human through a sphere smaller than an atom? Well, we do transfer data like movies and pictures from one point of the earth to a other in a matter of seconds, so why can't we do that with humans? The fact is that when we send a picture, our device simply gathers all the information in the picture and sends this data to another device; however humans have information a billion times that of a picture.

Hence, all that we need is a computer strong enough to gather the data of a human and send it through the worm hole to the other universe.

Since time acts like a cycle, we will already be in the other universe by the time we reach there and hence we could literally recreate ourselves in the other universe. This strong computer is called a quantum computer and it is so strong that it is capable of changing the quantum states of matter! This computer was first suggested by famous physicist Richard Feynman, and currently many scientist are working on making such a computer. But until this is achieved, we can always satiate ourselves with sci-fi.

Education in India: Is it really EDUCATION?

A talented young boy of 14 loves science and math. So he takes those subjects in ninth and tenth. He expects to gain practical knowledge, but all he gets is a pool of words of a page of a prescribed text book. But some how he memorises everything and gets 90%. He didn't wish to learn that way, but parents, teachers and classmates tell him that that was the only way he would get marks. 

After tenth, he wishes to peruse engineering. But later he finds out that to get onto a reputed institute for engineering he would first have to give an entrance exam. In fact entrance exams. He got to know that he would have to give an entrance exam to qualify for the major exam. To prepare for these exams, he would have to join coaching classes. To join these classes he had to give another entrance exam.

Having no other option, he gave an exam, joined a coaching class and a week after he gave his tenth boards, he sat for these classes. All the kid wanted to do was experience the world of science. He wanted to discover, to explore, to learn. However, what he got was light years away from what he wanted. He sat eight hours a day in classes, attended college on the side, and came home exhausted and hungry. All he got left was a couple of hours to do homework before he went to sleep. He did this 365 days a year for two years before his mind became numb. He had to stop socialising, had to stop most of his hobbies and reduced all forms of entertainment. He was nothing more than a piece of flesh whose only job was to obey the commands of his parents and teachers. 

Finally, when he passed the first time exam and sat for the major exam, he was greatful to God that this routine was finally over. His paper went good. He knew that he had worked hard and deserved the seat in his desired university. When his results came, he celebrated. He knew his grades exceeded the cut-off needed for the admission, even though by a margin of five marks. When the university gave out its selection list, this boy of 17 did not get admission since his seat was given to someone with a quota due to his caste, even though this other student got 30 marks lesser than him. This boy tore his hair.

Education in this country is the best in the world. Our students run over that of other nations in the international arena. But what we do not see is that in order to get such perfect students, we forget to judge people on their personality and brains, but we rather judge them on less important things like a mark sheet and the quota category that come in. Same is the case for the other two fields viz. Commerce and Arts.

Rather than enhancing each one's special talent, we bring them all at one level, destroying their original self.

Vegan Diet: Boon or Bane

In today’s fast paced world , some people are completely careless about their eating habits whereas some are too careful. The history of dieting began long back. To put it mildly, dieting wasn't really a concern for our ancestors. For them, the main problem was getting more carbs, fat, and sugar into their systems, not less. That's why, in all of human history, the first person to go on a recorded weight-loss diet was England's first king, William I {Better known as William the Conqueror.}

Broadly, there are two types of people in this world: vegetarians and non-vegetarians who choose to follow different lifestyle and eating habits. The most popular is the vegan diet. DO NOT CONFUSE IT WITH VEGETARIANISM!

Vegetarians do not eat any animals. This includes pigs, chickens, cows, sea animals, and every other animal. In addition to not consuming any animal flesh, a vegan (strict vegetarian) also doesn't eat dairy products, eggs, or any other product derived from an animal.

Though people lose weight through this in a matter of weeks, they fail to understand they are keeping their bodies aloof from many essential nutrients.here are a few examples:

A) Vegan diets do not provide fat-soluble vitamins A and D

B) Vegan diets are deficient in vitamin B12 and iron

Like vitamin A, D and K2, the readily-absorbed form of vitamin B12 and iron is found only in animal sources (are you seeing a pattern here?). Testing with the most up-to-date methods show that 83% of vegans are B12 deficient, compared to 5% of omnivores.

Creatine helps form an energy reservoir in cells. Studies show that vegans are deficient in creatine, which has harmful effects on muscle and brain function.

Carnosine is protective against various degenerative processes in the body and may protect against aging. It is found only in animal foods. Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) is the most active form of Omega-3 fatty acids in the body and primarily found in animal foods. The plant form of Omega-3s, ALA, is inefficiently converted to DHA in the body.

Humans are omnivores. We function best eating both animals and plants.The best diets are those with the greatest variety of nutrients and without dietary limitations.I believe that a balanced diet is the key solution to weight loss . if one wishes to reduce weight, then one must exercise and not aloof from eating certain type of foods.

Trouble in Paradise : Major issues of the North East India

Paradise, a term used for a place of timeless harmony. A place where you forget all your sufferings and enjoy eternal bliss. Our country India is indeed lucky enough to be blessed with many such places that are a timeless reminder of the beauty of the almighty creation. The North East India is also one such region of enchanting beauty and serenity. Nestled in the lap of the majestic Himalayas, the seven sisters as they are popularly known are lands that offer mystifying diversity and showcase breathtaking magnanimity of nature. However, even though these lands have been bestowed with endless natural beauty, these regions have always been battling through crisis, be it territorial disputes, natural disasters and even isolation from their own countrymen due to ethnic disparity. They have always tried to face these challenges head on and have never given anyone the chance to doubt their patriotism. But, due to external factors like narrow mindedness of our society, extremist led insurgency, etc. the peace and harmony of these regions has time and again been disrupted. These are serious issues that require attention or they may have far reaching consequences on the integrity of our nation. 

Racism and the appalling death of Nido Tani:

He was mocked and teased for his features. He retaliated by breaking a glass door. A fight broke out and they brutally killed him. As gruesome as it may sound,this is the harsh truth. A college going youngster murdered just because he looks different and doesn't fit into the mould of the traditional Indian mindset!!Really shocking behavior there by the people! Nido Tania was like any other 20 year old, funky clothes, trendy hairstyle. He and his friend were out for some work in Lajpat Nagar, New Delhi when a shop owner of a sweet shop mocked him for his hair and clothes and a brawl began. It ended with Nido s death. The thing is that this wasn't a senseless fight over a haircut, but Taniams northeastern features that marked him out for the attack. This gruesome incident, which happened in the capital itself, highlights the racism that many from India's beautiful but impoverished North Eastern States are subjected to. Anyone of the approximately 20,000 students that come to the capital region for education and better job opportunities could have been in Taniam's place. Their safety needs to be ensured and the biggest threat to them is their own countrymen who treat them as outsiders. Casual racism has become a commonplace, with people calling them chinkies(narrow eyed) and passing derogatory remarks. However it's not just the physical differences that make people from the northeast stand out in a big city like Delhi, but the fact that their society is culturally more permissible than 'Mainstream India'. This, it is very important that we address this issue of racism And eradicate it from our society so that the integrity and unity of our nation is not compromised. The protests over his death waged on but will we do justice to him only when we ensure that there's no possibility of such inhuman thing happening again.

Insurgency-the best business in the north-east:

This region has been the birthplace of many insurgent factions,demanding freedom from the main land. The ever increasing arrogance and confidence of the insurgents is the settling for. Multitude of conflict that undermines the idea of India as a prosperous and functioning democracy. Also, unsurgency has become a sort of business with an abundance of illegal funds of benefactors being used to buy arms, in turn increasing the demand from the manufacturers. Different insurgent groups in different states have wreaked havoc in the daily lives of the people disturbing the peace and security of the region and also the country as a whole.The absurd demand for a separate country can never be met .The people of this region have been left disappointed due to the government efforts for their cause. Unfortunately the data and the information on the region is not sufficiently analysed and communicated between the region and the center,contributing to further mismanagement and alienation. At another level, insurgency in the region has been all pervasive phenomena, and in its violent form has not only affected the sovereignty of the Indian state, but also the life of the various people living in the region in incomprehensible and inexplicable terms. However, amidst widespread unrest and anarchy, the people of this region haven't given up the hope of walking away from this mess one day and be free from a situation which cripples the, from all sides. The government must stop all such factions,many of which run their parallel government and force the people to obey their laws,at all costs. Otherwise, we may face a very difficult scenario regarding the sovereignty of this region

The Armed Forces Special Powers Act -An abomination and A blot on Human Rights:

                

Imagine you are facing a problem and the person you rely on most is infact greatly responsible for the situation you are in. Obviously you are shattered and feel helpless. Well that's precisely what our brothers and sisters in the North eastern states are facing right since the late 1960s. Forced to live under constant fear and having seen their lives disrupted due to the insurgents, The government was their only hope .The state government demanded the centre for aid in administration and military protection.The centre responded by  passing the Armed Forces Special Powers Act in 1958 when the Nagaland independence movement was taking off.This has been perhaps the most condemned act of the legislation  almost  as the  infamous Rowlatt act of the British.The ASPFA is a bare law with just six sections.The most damning of those are the fourth and sixth sections : the former enables security forces to fire upon or otherwise use force,even to the causing of death ,while the latter says no criminal prosecution will lie against any person who has taken action under this act.Startling and absurd as it may sound ,in 57 years since its inception, not a single army,or paramilitary soldier or officer has been prosecuted for murder, rape,destruction of property(including the burning of  the villages in Nagaland and Mizoram).It is indeed a very shameful and horrific history ,which India knows little about and has cared for even less.Thousands have suffered mercilessly due to the abuse of power by the soldiers ,treated like animals and left to rue their destiny.Women have been subjected  to torture and rape .There have been tAlks of reforming the act several times over the decades but sadly much hasn't been done with both the politicians and the army playing the blame game.The people have protested but due to no avail.The people ,especially the women were so agitated that they  staged a naked protest and gone on hunger strikes.Though in recent years ,the issue has been taken seriously by the higher ranked officials,with Former pm Atal Bihari Vajpay condemning the act and urging the house to review it. The situation demands no less from the current PM, who must fight all opposition and put an end to this barbaric exploitation of civilians in the name of national security.So as we rest, we must ask questions and support our countrymen.How many more deaths,how many more naked protests,how many more committees, how many more articles before AFSPA goes.

These issues that our countrymen face must be tackled and eradicated from their roots.Only then can we make them feel that they are not alone,that somebody is there for them.Only then can we call ourselves a true democracy,a country where there is unity in diversity  and where harmony and brotherhood reigns.
