The Revolution of the Crazies

The Revolution of the Crazies Romesh Thapar THE thought docs occur that all our brain- waving and political theorising is reduced to dust by the antics of the crazies of various communities.

Remember: No Akali has talked of punishing the Sikh terrorists, not even the revived priests.
