Sameer Soni on beheading of two Indian soldiers

TV stars react to beheading of two Indian soldiers in Kashmir... some call for an all out war... others advocate peace

Samir Soni (Parichay) on his part took the view that, "there are certain elements in both India and Pak who benefit from this fear of war."

"The entire armament bazaar thrives on this primal emotion. Weapons of mass destruction are never meant to be used but only to instill a sense of fear in the hearts and minds of general populace in all belligerent nations." He further is hopeful that things will soon sober down (he seems to be right with DGMO of both countries agreeing to lowering tension). "This has happened several times before and will continue in the future, so no real reason to worry."

He also rejected the notion that Pak artist should be sent home. "This is business, there are many in India who make money by harnessing the talents of these Pak artists. As to those who say that Islamabad does not reciprocate, which Indian artist wants to go there in the first place?"
