India's Terrorism Challenge cannot be Framed in Dangerous Binaries

Terrorism has become a major issue in the current election campaign and Prime Minister Narendra Modi set the tone in a very undesirable and divisive manner when he addressed a rally in Wardha, Maharashtra (April 1) where he alluded to the Samjhauta Express bombing case verdict delivered by special judge Jagdeep Singh on March 20 in Panchkula, Haryana.
It may be recalled that in February 2007 a terrorist attack took place on the Samjhauta Express that runs from Delhi to Lahore in Pakistan and back. The attack on the train occurred near the town of Panipat, about 80 km outside Delhi and 68 passengers were killed – most of them Pakistani citizens. At the time the finger of suspicion pointed to the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) based in Pakistan and a group called Abhinav Bharat deemed to be a Hindu right wing organization formed in 2006 in Pune.
The Samjhauta terror attack was a complex case with many opaque elements embedded in it, including allegations about the involvement of a serving Indian army officer. Hence the Indian investigating agencies proceeded with due caution. On its part, the USA arrived at a preliminary determination that one of the suspects was a Pakistani citizen and an LeT operative and moved the UN to have him designated as a terrorist.
The prime Indian accused was a Swami Aseemanand, who had links with the RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh ), the ideological fount of the Hindu nationalists, and consequently the Samjhauta case acquired very complex political overtones. At the time the Congress led UPA was in power and the fact that the Abhinav Bharat with its Hindu affiliation had been accused led to the use of phrases such as "Hindu terror" and "saffron terror". This turn of phrase mirrored the Islamic terror formulation and was contested by the BJP which was then in the opposition.
Given the complexity of the case and its religious contour, the Samjhauta investigation was handed over to the central NIA (National Investigating Agency) who filed a charge-sheet in June 2011. Predictably the case moved slowly through the judicial labyrinth and eight years later, on March 20, a special NIA court acquitted all the four accused, including Swami Aseemanand.
In his observation about the case, the judge noted with "deep pain and anguish" that such "a dastardly act of violence remained unpunished for want of credible and admissible evidence." In related comments, that indicted the NIA for its inadequate efforts in pursuing the case to ensure that the guilty were brought to book, the judge pointedly added that "valuable pieces of evidence remained untapped."
It is against this backdrop that PM Modi alluded to the Samjhauta verdict at his Wardha rally in a selective manner and stoked the majority Hindu sentiment, in what can only be described as a cynical and opportunistic manner. Accusing the Congress party of coining the term "Hindu terror", Modi added: "How can the Congress be forgiven for insulting the Hindus in front of the world? Weren't you hurt when you heard the word 'Hindu terror'? How can a community known for peace, brotherhood and harmony be linked with terrorism? In the thousand years of history, not a single incident shows an act of Hindu terrorism."
The electoral objective was very clear – to project the BJP as the guardian of Hindu pride and integrity and tar the Congress with the pro-Muslim, hence anti-national, brush. This assertion is not only counter-factual but dangerous demagoguery that can irreparably damage the social fabric of a nation as diverse as India.
The facts merit recall. Asia has experienced many types of terrorism over the last seven decades and these have been perpetrated by adherents of all the major religious faiths – namely Hindu, Muslim, Sikh and Buddhist in the main. No single religion has a monopoly over terrorism even if there has been a focus on Islamic jihadi terror post 9/11 at the global level. The kind of terrorism that Sri Lanka experienced apropos the LTTE, or for that matter the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi by a Hindu fanatic are all variations of the terror trajectory.
Thus the Modi claim that terrorism cannot be linked with the Hindu community does not bear scrutiny and this is further borne out by more recent developments in India. As recently as in 2017, when PM Modi was at the national helm, the NIA had ensured the conviction of three in number ex RSS members who had been accused in the 2007 Ajmer dargah bombings.
Furthermore, in December last the Maharashtra ATS (Anti Terrorism Squad) charged 12 individuals near Mumbai under the current anti-terror laws. At the time it was reported that the accused had drawn their motivation of establishing a 'Hindu Rashtra' (Hindu nation) as elucidated in one of their publications and were planning a terror attack.
It must be reiterated that terrorism is terrorism – whoever be the perpetrator and religion is secondary. One would expect that a nation like India that has been subject to a variety of terror attacks will give the investigation and judicial prosecution process the highest priority and that the Prime Minister of the country will not exploit this for electoral gain.
India has been urging Pakistan to act decisively in relation to the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack and more recently Pulwama. Prosecuting the Samjhauta case in an objective manner so that justice is accorded to the victims and the guilty are appropriately punished will be testimony to India's commitment to the rule of law. This will also be the benchmark that Pakistan will be expected to emulate.
PM Modi should apply the necessary corrective to his Wardha address and the manner in which he has framed the terrorism challenge. It must not be reduced to an untruthful and dangerous binary that pits the Hindu against the Muslim citizen. They are both Indians whose citizenship, as derived from the Constitution, is uniform and indivisible.

Review: 'The Harder They Fall' is a bloody good time
A preacher says grace with his family. He has a kind voice and is revered by his wife and young son. Their pleasant dinner is interrupted by a knock at the door from the preacher's past. The stranger on the other side, wearing a wide-brimmed hat and sporting two gold pistols, joins them at the dinner table. The preacher begs, but the stranger shoots him and his wife several moments and then uses a razor to carve a cross into the young boy's forehead.
This is the opening to The Harder They Fall; it sets the stage for a film that will all at once be a revenge picture, a colourful and bloody action picture, a history lesson, and a damn good time at the movies.

Review: 'The Suicide Squad' is wacky, juvenile, committed, fun, and familiar
James Gunn has a distinctive voice. It's always been there, from his days at Troma through writing the Scooby-Doo films and the Dawn of the Dead remake, and from his early directorial efforts like Slither and Super all the way to the Guardians of the Galaxy and now, the Suicide Squad. That voice is juvenile, a little dark, and also –and this is most important– fun.
I say this because The Suicide Squad, the movie he signed on to make while briefly exiled from Marvel Studios, is a juvenile movie. And it's a little dark. And it's pretty fun. But while its R-rated excesses are probably the logical extension of his voice as a storyteller, it is also cobbled together from his greatest hits from other projects. Your mileage may vary on whether it feels repetitive or merely familiar, but it's also enough fun that that probably doesn't matter.

'The Dark Tower' good guy and bad guy get a trailer each (plus, posters!)
I am very happy that **The Dark Tower** is being made. I have exactly zero stake in the matter, I have never read any of the books and am only mildly aware of how Kings other work ties into them but seeing people positively freak out that they are happening makes me happy. Plus, I'm a fan of high concept weirdness. So let's take a look at these two new trailers.

Matt's Most Anticipated of 2013
2012 was one of the best years for film that I can remember and I'm honestly hoping that 2013 meets or beats it in terms of number of quality releases, and more importantly in the quality of those releases. There's a lot coming out this year so here's the ten that I am looking forward to most.
I'm listing these in order of release and not order of anticipation, partly because I find them hard to rank but mostly because I am looking forward to them all for different reasons.
And with that, here are the movies I am most looking forward to this year.
### Gangster Squad (11 January)
I've actually been waiting for this since last year since its original 2012 release was pushed after the Aurora Shooting.
Ryan Gosling, Josh Brolin and Sean Penn in an old school cops vs. gangsters film is a hard recipe to screw up. I love the cast, I love the premise, and while director Rueben Fleischer has only made a couple of films, they were both good and he's made a host of music videos and commercials which were also good.
I worry about the [re-shoots that happened following Aurora last year](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gangster_Squad#Association_with_the_2012_Aurora_shooting) but not very much considering the scene had just been relocated and re-staged rather than excised entirely.
### The Place Beyond The Pines (29 March)
Yes, another Ryan Gosling movie. It's true: I'm a fan of the baby goose. More than that though, I'm a fan of Ryan Gosling because he's a great actor.
Gosling previously teamed with director Derek Cianfrance in 2010s _Blue Valentine_ and in that film both Gosling and co-star Michelle Williams knocked it right outta the park. Seriously, if you haven't seen that movie just go find it and watch it (but be aware, it has some hard to watch scenes).
Ryan Gosling playing a stunt bike rider robbing banks to provide for his son while being chased by Bradley Cooper as a cop mixed up with some crooked colleagues? It's an intriguing set up and one I can't wait to see.
### 42 (12 April)
I'll admit this one is a bit of a wild card pick; chalk it up to my love of baseball. On the other hand this is the story of a modern American legend in Jackie Robinson and it's being directed by Brian Helgeland, the guy who wrote _L.A. Confidential_, _A Knights Tale_ and _Mystic River_. There's a lot to like about that fact alone but when you add in Harrison Ford as Branch Rickey (the guy who dared to sign Jackie Robinson in an era when racism was still an OK thing) things get more interesting.
Chadwick Boseman is a relative newcomer here, but if this works out this could be a star turn for him and I'm always interested in seeing that.
### Iron Man 3 (3 May)
I'm a huge Marvel geek and I'm a huge fan of their grand experiment to bring comic book continuity to the big screen. If you've been paying attention you may have already [gotten this impression](https://awesomefriday.ca/2013/01/matts-best-of-2012/ "Matt's Best of 2012").
Robert Downey Jr. is among the best cast of the Marvel Heroes currently on screen and it'll be a pleasure seeing him as Tony Stark again. Hell, even in the kind of boring Iron Man 2 he was fun to watch and with Shane Black directing and Don Cheadle returning as James "Rhodey" Rhodes/War Machine one can only assume that there'll be some great "buddy cop" kind of sequences as they battle the armoured bad guys.
Sir Ben Kingsley is playing the Mandarin, a character with supernatural powers in the comics, so it will be cool to see how they reconcile that with the technological world of Iron Man (that is, does he even have his powers or are The Ten Rings from Iron Man all he controls or will they be technological or what?).
Another exciting tidbit is that the story is based on _Extremis_ by Warren Ellis, which is one of my favourite Iron Man stories and sees Tony Stark go through some interesting stuff.
Plus, this is the first film in Marvel's second phase so I'm looking forward to seeing if I can pick out any world building or portents that'll give me an idea what they're planning for Avengers 2.
### The Great Gatsby (10 May)
F. Scott Fitzgerald's _The Great Gatsby_ is an American classic, a fact that even though I am a Canadian I can certainly appreciate. I'm not going to sugar coat this though: I've never actually read it. I've always meant to but for some reason it's just never happened.
Now there's this, Leonardo DiCaprio re-teaming with director Baz Luhrmann in what looks to be a perfect part for the former and potentially the best looking film from the latter. The film is full of talented people not the least of which is Carey Mulligan who has shone brightly in everything I've seen her in, even as Sally Sparrow in Doctor Who.
Plus, if it turns out to suck I won't have to be bothered by how the movie was a crappy adaptation of the book.
### Star Trek Into Darkness (17 May)
To say I am anticipating this film is an exercise in understatement. Understand that I am a life long Star Trek fan, some of my earliest memories are watching The Original Series with my father. I've seen every episode of every show (including the animated series) and every movie. In 2009 JJ Abrams brought Star Trek back to the big screen in a big way and I _fucking loved it_.
Long story short: if this list were ranked, Star Trek Into Darkness would be #1 on the list.
I happen to think that the previous film was nearly perfectly cast so I seriously can't wait to see the whole crew back again. Yes, even Chris Pine. More importantly, I can't wait to see Benedict Cumberbatch as the villain in this. So far I've only really seen him play good guys so it will be nice to see him put on his evil face. The man is a hell of an actor and this will very likely be a hell of a film.
There's so much more I could say here, but the bottom line is this: _is it May 17th yet???_
### Much Ado About Nothing (7 June)
So apparently while filming last years _The Avengers_ Joss Whedon called up a bunch of his friends and shot an adaptation of Shakespeare's _Much Ado About Nothing_ in his own house over 12 days or so.
Let's rephrase that: the guy making the biggest film of last year made an indie Shakespeare adaption in his home in his spare time. That alone is pretty cool.
But this is also Joss Whedon we're talking about here. Love him or hate him he's certainly done some interesting stuff and is really good at managing large casts. I'm also just curious to see what he does with Shakespeare and how he worked his house into the film.
Plus, this is full of his buddies like Nathan Fillion (playing Dogberry), Amy Acker (Beatrice) and Clark Gregg (Leonato).
So basically it's a bunch of awesome people doing a version of a play by the greatest playwright ever as adapted by a fantastic director. So where do I sign, exactly?
### Pacific Rim (12 July)
Let's see, director with a crazy and unique visual style? Check. Giant Monsters? Check. Giant Robots fighting those monsters? Check. Two people whose minds link via a computer voiced by the same actress as GLaDOS from Portal? Check. A cast including Idris Elba and Charlie Hunnam? Check.
I dunno, maybe this movie wasn't made for me specifically but there's certainly a lot of boxes checked off here.
Plus, it's a disaster movie where people are fighting for humanity as a whole to survive (check) against ridiculous odds. I'm sure that the giant robot that turns the tide will be obsolete or broken or something too but cliches done well are still entertaining as hell, and Guillermo del Toro is a pretty great director so I have little doubt he can pull this off.
### The Worlds End (25 October)
Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and Edgar Wright are finally going to release the third in their "Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy" each of which has been an homage to a certain type of film so far (if you've been hiding in cave these last few years, _Shaun of the Dead_ was zombies and _Hot Fuzz_ was buddy cop action).
In addition to apparently featuring the mint chocolate chip cornetto, apparently the boys will be on a massive pub crawl towards The World's End Pub and the world might actually be ending while they do it. That description alone is enough to get me in theatres but rest assured the film will be full of their signature comedic style and mile a minute on the nose pop culture riffs that made the previous two films (and the series they did, _Spaced_) so laugh out loud funny.
### Enders Game (1 November)
I am of the opinion that if you have never read Orson Scott Cards phenomenal book _Ender's Game_ you should probably stop reading this **right now**, go find a copy and read it. There's even a fantastic [graphic novel adaptation](http://www.comixology.com/Enders-Game/comics-series/8011 "Ender's Game on Comixology") if you're so inclined. I'll wait here while you do that.
All done? Good, then I don't have to spoil anything. Now do you see why a movie version of this could be amazing? Harrison Ford as Commander Graff and Sir Ben Kingsley as Mazer? Asa Butterfield as Ender himself? There's not a lot to dislike here. Well, except that Gavin Hood is directing, but remember that while he did direct _X-Men Origins: Wolverine_ he also directed (and won an Oscar for) _Tsotsi_, which is an amazing film.
### What's Missing?
There's certainly a lot more than 10 films coming out this year and more than 10 that I am quite looking forward to. _Thor: The Dark World_ (8 Nov) and _Elysium_ (9 Aug) both only missed being on the list by the skin of their teeth –if I wasn't a baseball fan you can bet one of them would have made it– and then there's the Spike Lee remake of _Oldboy_ (11 Oct), _Man of Steel_ (14 Jun) trying to get Superman right for the first time in decades and Tom Hanks playing Walr Disney in _Saving Mr. Banks_ (20 Dec) and _Movie 43_ (25 Jan) doing it's best to offend, well, everyone it seems.
It definitely looks like it's going to be a good year for genre film in particular this year, which means this is going to be a good year for nerds like me.
You may have noticed that I didn't mention _The Wolverine_ (26 Jul) or _The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug_ (13 Dec) and that's because while I am looking forward to both of these I'm not really excited to see either. That might change once I see some trailers though so time will tell.
Sometime toward the end of 2013 I plan to revisit this list and recap whether I was excited to see the terribly great or the greatly terrible. In the mean time, what are your most anticipated films of the year?

LITE Preschool and Primary School is an educational institution in Barbados specializing in remedial care for students with special needs, specifically those with learning difficulties, as well as 'regular' children. Currently, our school is comprised of amazing students, some of whom have Downs Syndrome, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Speech and language difficulties, ADHD, Dyslexia and a range of other learning difficulties but to us, there are children who just need the opportunity to flourish, with a loving and nurturing helping hand to guide them. Through a subsidiary, LITE Learning Centre, we provide remediation services to other children outside of our school as well as teenagers and adults.
In light of the lockdown of schools in Barbados due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have made a smooth transition to online classes thus ensuring we can still deliver quality education to our students. We have implemented a modified curriculum that covers the core subjects. Along with academics, we also have very engaging virtual Art and Fitness classes. For our students who need a little extra, beyond on-line classes, we have introduced our "Educare Kits", which are bi-weekly workbooks, delivered via curbside drop off, directly to homes.

LITE was founded by the husband and wife team of Billboard and Janelle Murrell. They have been married for the last 20 years and have four children, two of whom are teenagers pursuing Associate degrees in Arts and two are students of LITE.
Janelle, is a qualified and trained special needs teacher with a love for helping children to read and achieve their full potential. Janelle was once a struggling learner herself, thus her motivation for helping others with learning difficulties. Many years ago, while a stay at home mom, she offered free tuition from her living room and this was the birth of LITE.
Billboard is a Producer and Musician with a passion for all arts as well as encouraging and helping children to blossom. With his knack for administration, he is able to manage the hardworking
