Unfortunately, the majoritarian attitudes of a few harm India's harmony and adversely affect her prosperity. They harass, threaten and use violence to teach the minorities, women and the weak how to behave, and put them in their place. It is like letting the air out of one of the tires, hurting all of us in the end.
The 1984 Sikh Genocide, the demolition of Babri Masjid in 1992, burning of Hindu Passengers in Godhra and Massacre of Muslims in Gujarat in 2002, the rapes of Nuns, Dalits and destruction of Churches are among the ugly cruelties we have witnessed since independence in 1947. It is a shameful blot on the civility of our Mother; India.
The anguish, suffering, apprehension and non-restoration of justice to the victims will continue to hurt the cohesiveness of India. As Indians, we need to set aside our pettiness and pull every Indian onto a level playing field, the more people we pull up, the greater the prosperity for all.
Dear Mike,
ReplyDeletePlease go through below links and then re-read your article again. Does it makes sense?

Your pro-Muslim (despite your claims of pluralism) rhetoric surprises me. For Godhra, court has already announced verdict having found people guilty.

One more thing, having an opinion is different than speaking the truth. Your opinion to me looks heavily lop sided one.
Fully Agree!
DeleteThis is the most ridiculous article I have ever read about India and Indian politics. These guys should understand that, Indians (not only Indian Muslims) are not fed up because religious difference or blaming on each other, but they fed up because of corruption, Courts wonders if any body can do such a big scam, as the judge was unable to count the zeros in the scam amount. (The Indian Muslims are sick of the blame and the ugly comments hurled at them about India’s partition- I think this must be re written as all other religions and Islam itself is fed up with Muslim fundamentalists, not only in India, but also every part of the world). Also this ill informed writer should not forget that when Indira Gandhi, imposed emergency and try to kill Indian freedom and democracy, only those people from Bihar and uttar pradesh had over thrown her from power. The people like this writer who makes living by writing for wages was hiding in their house. So Indian are politically very aware and they knows exactly what they have to do. Even Muslims from Gujarat is happy under Modi and they still lives there. I hope this ill informed writer will kind enough to explain to us, what happened to the 30% Hindu population who choose to stay in Pakistan at the time of partition?? What happened to those girls who has been send to brothels in Iran and Iraq. Read politics and history before writing rubbish Now Indians (Indian Hindus, Indian Muslims, Indian Christians and all other religions), thinks that Modi can only save our nation. You can not blame them. You have to blame those people like Suresh Kalmadi, who has made India a commedy in-front of international audience by showing how clever Indians are in corruption. All other countries taken such opportunity to show their skill and capability infront of international audience. And this fellow has made all of us jokers in front of the world and still stay where he was there. Answer the following questions Why Mr Raja and Mrs Kanimozhi was in Jail?? Why the court judge say he could not count the figure in scam?? Is anybody can do such a scam or anybody will dare to do such scams? What is the coal scams?? In anywhere the resource is given in the first come first basis? Regards Sajith.snydle.com

I could not understand, How such a guy call himself a "a writer on pluralism"
ReplyDeleteSee what he is written below. Some indians think that supporting Muslims is the greatest thing in the earth. They must understand when you look Hindus, Muslims, christians and all other religions as same, then only people will respect them. THis is just a popularity stunt. He could not get anything else to write
"Right now, the thought of Modi as Prime Minister is tearing India apart and his rallies may generate untold miseries of death and destruction. A few Hindu extremists may rejoice killing Muslims and a handful of Muslim extremists may revel in bombing rallies, resulting in a mess for all."
