Lets not deny a common reality in India. Muslims are second class citizens. Even the loyal ones to India admit that. Accepting a problem is indeed the very first step to solving it. This is a good thing about the terrorist situation in Pakistan. It has caused the intellectuals, individuals, organizations and clergy to question themselves and their common narrative, their Islamist narrative. Increasingly we are questioning where we went wrong and the problems of a completely religious and conservative setup in the country. There are increasingly critical assessments of Mullahs and their ways. Power has been given to Muhammad Farooq Khan and Ghamidi and they are seen positively for not promoting takfir and division. This is caused because there are militants fighting an Islamic state in the name of Islam and it is enough to change the outlook.
I have no doubt the RSS would act very similarly in such a given environment that is concurrent in the Islamic world as of now.
What is that reason? You are talking about the bombing after which riots occured. That is no excuse for wasting muslims in the streets for the work of a fringe element. I am an Ansari from one side. We are both treated as terrorists by the Indian police/institutions and are also known for our liberalism. Despite my nana supporting Pakistan from day one even hindu figures came and sat at our houses. So why should our liberal family be made victim for the evils of a few terrorists in our community. I have contacts in FIA and ISI and I know what you are doing in Pakistan, what RAW is doing. So its not one sided violence here at all. Even I have been made a victim of your RAW designs which go deep within Pakistan. Our khandaan says you did not leave us in Lucknow, neither you left us in Karachi. Both places you are oppressing muslims in different ways.
By who wanted that are you alluding to Pakistan? Pakistan is not a ultra religious state. It has its share of mullahs and its share of secularists. I am a secularist committed to the secularist vision.
You say Modi dealt with this. But the way he dealt with it was empowering Hindus to kill muslims. Thats all he did according to Babu Bajrangi.
See. You are very typically like a common Indian blaming Pakistan. We need someone to see beyond that to build bridges. Mumbai 2008 attacks reports even are confused. Some say the attackers spoke marathi, others say Karkare was killed because he told the truth. In short there is a complete lack of trust between India and Pakistan. And I say clearly that there can be no peace if you continue advocating Indian media narrative. It's clear war-mongering that is going on rather than reduction of tensions there.
You cannot think that orange chaddi wala RSS people are some saviors. They were the ones who killed Gandhi for promoting equality and secularism. I think you have lost me here by supporting RSS. This is a terrorist organization and has often been attacking muslims and christians.
That is good. But my cousins had problems getting admission to top universities because they were muslim. Hindu teachers have been known to object to hijabi women students in their schools. There is much that needs to be done for muslims in the education scenario. You probably already know our people are the most illiterate religious group in Indian controlled parts.
I don't see how fringe hindutva ideologies can make you secure. Do the Taliban make us secure? These religious groups and organizations are degenerative. They take societies back. Name a single scientific or ideological development Islamist organizations, even relatively moderate ones like Sunni Ittehad and Jamat E Islami have brought? Or the RSS? Our life is not secure because of these organizations. There is more tension between religious groups.
