Lets accommodate no space for communalism!

I read newspapers. And sometimes there are articles that originate from inexplicable desire 'to be seen secular'. The end result is loathsome and nasty, to say the least. 

Some opinion makers and people with influence, make a living out of abusing and cursing 'the majority' 24 hrs, 7days a week and, 365 days a year!

Incredible freedom of speech! But that's the beauty of our Constitution.

One of the most prominent dailies had an article on the unprecedented exodus of the 'North-east Indians' (stop calling them chinkies or nepali!) away from Pune and Bangalore.    

And that lady writer, went on and on, 'apologizing' to all the people. Reason? She claimed the 'Hindu majority' had threatened to retaliate and hit the NE people after a festival.

It was so obnoxious. She claimed we all, should 'apologize' to (almost) everybody! To the best of my knowledge, it was some fringe and anti-social elements from a 'prominent minority', who had been determined to take 'revenge'.

Revenge of events of Assam and (this is a so ridiculous!) Myanmar.

Whatever followed in Mumbai,  in the name of 'peaceful agitation' by Raza Academy, was one the most atrocious things, happened in last few years.

Media, and Police were attacked, ruthlessly. Lady police constables molested. In the name of protestation. Hideous!              

And action taken? Lets not even talk about it. In theory, there is a Congress-NCP government in Maharashtra. (even if you feel absence of it, practically!)

MNS Chief, capitalized on the pent-up anger. And widened the political base of his party, in the process. Nice masterstroke.

But, there are more serious repercussions. When secularism means to keep quiet on issues inconvenient to the minorities ignoring the evidence, it is no secularism at all. And the majority is treated as fourth class citizenry, in their own country!

Some of the ugliest leaders, want to have situation like 1992-93, create wedge, fuel the circumstances and have Hindu-Muslim divide.

Never mind, there are so many issues pending of good governance and inclusive development. On the state level and national level.      

Assam Violence, it seems, is refusing to come to an end. And this spells bad news for not only North-east but our own India, 'the emerging superpower'.   

The least we can do, is, not to entertain, these communal thoughts. And, same good-old thing - unite in our diversity. That is the idea of India!
