Fully support Shantaram. Through out India from Kashmir and North east Indian armed forces have occupied huge mass of land. Our nation believes in Ahimsa of Shantaram and his Congress so why we should have armed forces occupying huge land mass. Shantaram should become Raksha Mantri and free the land starting grom Kashmir. Question is who will defend us from such people?
