Politics of hatred should realise that her death is not its victory but a defeat of a cynical and sadist mindset. Ideological battles have been a part of argumentative India but when one is on a weak wicket, not sure of their value framework, it is that that leads to such acts of cowardice. If such a climate spreads it can lead to Hitlerian hatred engulfing humanity. More shocking is the reactions of sick minds celebrating inhumanity, a reminder to all of us that something seriously has gone wrong with a section of society.The ghastly killing of Gauri Lankesh, a woman of unusual courage of conviction and clarity of purpose, has shocked society, more particularly, the world of journalism.
