Thanks Bri for your comment. I do agree with you. Not all form of radicalism is bad or initiates violence. Lately the word has been used in its most negative form. May be that is what I referred to while writing this. I do remember that these words became part of my larger poem ' The Terrorist '. In there I have used the word terrorism instead of radicalism. Thanks for pointing to another mistake. I will edit it to 'caste '.
