Freedom fighter vs terrorist: What distinguishes them? - Page 8

Very interesting topic. I wonder how come Bhagat Singh and Khudiram Bose are considered as freedom fighters when people like Osama and the Pakistani terrorists are considered terrorists? This has no logic. It is for the same reason I feel Netaji's points were not that good where as Gandhi Ji said things which worked. It is not always power which works but there is something called the brain which is the most powerful weapon of man.
For me, I feel the violent freedom fighters are not actually freedom fighters but they are the ones whom I don't support at all. Storming of the Writer's building was not correct. Dandi March was. What good would killing of British officers do? It is not any good they did not the country but only their name would be remembered. Maybe for the wrong reason. If such freedom fighters can be called freedom fighters I don't think the Pakistani terrorists, the people of Darjeeling who want to be recognized as another state called Gorkhaland are no different than them. But since I consider the Pakistanis in Kashmir, Osama BIn terrorists, I would say Bhagat Singh,Khudiram Bose etc, are no different.
People who actually work for the good of the country are the real freedom fighters. People who fight for their country to bring about a change, and get power in their hands by not shooting people for no reason are the real freedom fighters and heroes.

@Brishti
I don't remember Bhagat Singh,Sukhdev mass murdering innocent people unlike laden.
What you posted is very insensitive and you are surely ill-informed about what they have done for the country.

@ Brishti, I completely disagree with you here. It seems as if history has always been quite indifferent to you.
Terrorists and freedom fighters are poles apart. As terrorists indiscriminately attack all and sundry for their benefit and lust of reigning and be at the throne by any means. They are more like dictators and never empathise or are concerned about the needs and liking of people. They only know to wrongly summon and suppress the opposing ideas by gunning down the person who is miscreant in their eyes for not listening to them and not abiding by them. They are being ruled by selfishness and jealousy.
On the other hand, freedom fighters put their life on stake so that their children and fellow citizens can breathe in free air and live under open sky; so that the coming generations need not request and beg for what is theirs. The selflessness and rectifying the wrongs are their prime attributes. They bring peace and harmony to the people who had been enduring the ruthlessness and molestation from the forced rulers, and fight for their 'RIGHT'. And fighting for ones right is always justified and one can always work blindly towards his snatched right if the treaties and all are not being worked upon by the oppressing side indiscriminately. Violence only follows when non-violence is unable to achieve the goal and the same happened in the fight for freedom of India. I salute the freedom fighters across the world. The selflessness and rectifying the wrongs are their prime attributes.
