Halo Youth
Dear Youth, Greetings. I am pained by the recent happenings in my state. Separatism in the name of language or religion kills the essential spirit of democracy. Politics and youth are strange bedfellows. It was shocking to know that students of premier institutions were involved in a protest concerning another nation. Our solidarity should be for India.

We have so many demons to fight within. Let us expend our knowledge, technology, energy...
