On Nov. 1, Yale University hosted a panel discussion: "States of Violence and the Violence of States," which was part of the school's ongoing "Constitutionalism in South Asia."

The panel, which was sponsored by the South Asian Law Students Association, Yale Law School and the South Asian Studies Council, examined how South Asian states routinely engage in systematic violence against their citizens, often in the name of some higher justificatory goal like development, peace, security or even the very survival of the state.

Headache, exhaustion, fever and a runny nose: influenza or "the flu" may just seem like a bad cold. The worst is usually over in a week. However, influenza and flu-like viruses can also make people very sick, especially the very young and the very old. These "germs" infect the airways, i.e. the respiratory (breathing) system, and hence are referred to as respiratory viruses or respiratory tract infections.

Because respiratory infections are caused by viruses and not bacteria, antibiotics will not cure them.

Earlier this fall, a Sufi music concert was held at the Chinmaya Mission -- a small but pristine community center tucked in the Massachusetts town of Andover. The singer was UstadeMaa Zila Khan -- the first and the only woman Sufi singer from the family of Ustad Vilayat Khan. I had the privilege to be one of the organizing members. We were just a group of friends (not promoters or distributors) -- some of us had heard Zila Ji before - and were willing to put in the considerable effort to get this Muslim Sufi singer from India to come to this Hindu community center/temple.

Before we talk of what is wrong with America, we should first look at what is right about this great country.
