Today actually we can see that terrorism has acutally given a bad image not only in india , but also in the world. we can see that many countries suffer due to lack of poverty, health reasons and also due to many other reasons. In today's world, i can just tell u that by 2012 the world is finished , it can't be seen for ever. so from today onwards, we need to save ourselves, the greenery and other things like water food and many things. if we can save these things then we will be able to protect ourselves, and others. save water save life restrict poverty and save the trees M.S.Suhas +91-9725381647 Hello Nandan SIr,

How come you do not see any militancy there? The state has shown it's hard edge in Kashmir - but reality is that it has been compelled to do so (remember the 'Azaadi' rallies asking for secession). We have to learn to face realities - the problem in Kashmir is militant Islamism. That enemy has to be fought on the battleground of ideas and free debate. The issue is not good governance; if that was the case Mr. Jagmohan would not have been so unpopular in those parts. I respect your achievements and your intents, but in the case of Kashmir; thinking of it as a governance/ development / investment problem is an inadequate diagnosis Even if poverty numbers in Kashmir are hard to figure out; one can make a ‘hunch’ that they will be not much different from rural Rajasthan - or indeed north Karnataka.

Dear Mr Nandan - I am totally carried away with your detailed writing on TRUE INDIA. Your book re-kindles the spirit of true patriotism required for each of us. I feel this book will create the revolution required in India for the Indians to alleviate from all the miseries surrounding us. But for this, this book should be read by each and every indian in the villages, small cities, big cities, colleges, police stations, secreatriats, parliment. I feel you should translate this book into key indian languages like Hindi, Bengali, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Marathi etc to reach to the masses. it should also be sold with service mentatility at the lowest price possible so that it reaches mroe and more people who can read and understand True India and come together to take the action required for us to move forward with better vision and thinking. Thank You Best Regards I would appreciate if this comment can reach Mr Nandan.

Nevertheless, I think education, awareness and ultimately keeping people in the economic loop will help not only J&K but any state in India. I think simple crimes like theft to major ones like militant action is because people are scratching their head to find 'opportunities' and those that they end up choosing are hurtful to the greater population. Getting them back to school, teaching them a vocation, and equipping them to meet the current economic trends will allow to address, or even solve, the problems that J&K, India, and other countries face. This is the new cycle we need to foster. Presence of Indian army versus rise in militancy is like a chicken-and-egg problem.

But accurate poverty numbers in J&K have been difficult to collect. Official figures also put unemployment at less than 10%, but independent news reports indicate that the number is much higher. This has given various militant organisations the upper hand when it comes to recruiting young men into terrorism (There is plenty of coverage around this. See for example: http://www.zeenews.com/exclusive/2008-11-22/485517news.html). This lack of jobs - due to the lack of investment - is a chronic and growing problem. Rajat: Thanks for your response.
