Financial Terrorism: Aren't the Swiss culpable?

A good part of the world regards Pakistan a terrorist state. The rationale for this is that the Pakistani ISI supports the Taliban and various other terrorist organizations who perpetrate terrorism in Pakistan and in neighbouring countries like India and Afghanistan. Apart from this they have links with and have harboured other global jihadis. So, they are a terrorist state. Now, one of the ideas of M.K. Gandhi that I agree with is that hunger is the worst form of violence. So, wouldn't supporting corruption that leads to hunger and starvation qualify as terrorism too?

 

Indian Independence: Was non-violence worth it?

A look back at whether India's non-violent freedom struggle was effective for ordinary Indians.

 

In retrospect was India's non-violent freedom struggle good or bad? Many decades have passed since India won it's independence from Britain. Since then the Indian independence movement has been an inspiration for some non-violent freedom and civil rights movements around the world. Politicians in India have milked the associated imagery to define vote banks. Foreign dignitaries who visit India praise Gandhi and India visit Gandhi's Samadhi, or memorial, in Delhi. But, has it been good for India in the long run? It's time to take a look at this story from a layman's point of view instead of a historian's or a self serving politician's point of view.
