Since genocide is a form of political utopia, it remains an enduring temptation in any multiethnic and multicultural society in crisis.

Re: thought for the day
But why make one person depend upon another in the matter of his vital needs? Education, everyone must have. Means of defence, everyone must have. These are the paramount requirements of every man for his self-preservation. How can the fact that his neighbour is educated and armed help a man who is uneducated and disarmed? The whole theory is absurd. - Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, Chairman of the Constituent Assembly of India. It is an answer to those who say that RKBA is not guaranteed as Fundamental Right in Part III of the Constitution of India.
