Have just come back from a week long ban for (presumably) saying that Islam has killed more of its own than any other religion in the world.
First of all my apologies to all Indian muslims. As an Indian, I do not owe one to any Pakistani.
I had no call to make such a statement about your religion. The fault lies not in the religion but in some of those who follow it, who tarnish forever the way the world looks at it as a whole ..... sad, but true.
So what I should have said instead was that more muslims have been killed by muslims than by any other people of any other religion in the world.
And that is a fact one cannot escape from ..... whether you ban me again or not.
Incidentally my ban was for "silly off-topic statements" so let me stay on topic here and ask each and every Indian here ......
What is wrong in the stand taken by the Shiv Sena?
Have we as a nation forgotten that this is the same country we are talking about which sent another "team" a lttle over a year ago to play a different "game" on an Indian pitch?
Have we as a nation forgotten the thousands of our brothers and sisters whose blood has flown into our own soil thanks to this same nation's scum that shoot and bomb with impunity on our soil to try and wrest away what was never and will never be theirs?
Have we as a nation forgotten the forefathers of this same nation which did not see a common future with our own forefathers and tore the land and its people apart 62 years ago?
And they want to play cricket with us, on our soil, with our money?
Talk about cheapness and hypocrisy guys.
Have we as nation forgotten the wars we have fought with these guys over the last 62 years, and of the sacrifices by the brave sons of our soil who have laid down their lives to protect us from their hordes?
Have we as a nation forgotten, or are we so blind or myopic that we cannot see the same bastards who plotted 26/11, have open meetings and conferences in Pakistan, under the aegis of the official Pakistani establishment, and talk about how they are going to dismember us and take over Kashmir?
Have we as a nation forgotten?
Are we blind?
Can we not see?
What the hell is this sudden new-found love swelling in our bossoms? What has given birth to this sudden empathy for the Pakistani?
If we have not, and if we call ourselves Indian, first and foremost, then what is wrong in what the Shiv Sena stands for in this case?
Are we going to be namby pamby naive gullible peaceniks who turn over and offer their ***** once again by chanting BS mantras of not mixing Sports and Politics?
BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is no sport in killing defenceless men, women, and children on a station platform, watching gleefully as their blood pools and flows in red eddy currents, lazily right and left, as one stream coalesces with another forming a raging frothing red river!
There is no sport in hiding a bomb in an open marketplace or a local train and dismembering thousands into chunks of unrecognisable charred well-done flesh and sinew and bone and grist and hair!
There is no sport with such a country ..... and we as Indians should stand up as one and put our weight behind such people, instead of acting fashionably liberated and deride them on national TV as Parochial or narrow-minded.
I am not a supporter of the Shiv Sena on many of the stands they have taken in the past.
I probably will not support them on many of the stands they take in the future too.
But on this my friends, my brothers and sisters, I am behind them 100%, unflinchingly, unabashedly, proudly, as an Indian.
Jai Hind!
Cheers, Doc
