This has been a week dominated by headlines and blaring news bulletins about "urban naxals" and the fact that a set of them, according to the Pune police and certain TV channels, have actually been arrested. Others say that these are Human Rights activists who are put behind bars and are essentially paying the penalty for expressing dissent against the ruling government. Any violence should be condemned but at the same time, were these people guilty or not guilty of colluding with that violence in some form or the other is something that we discuss on The Big Fight today.
