When a fringe element in the Muslim community decides to raise Yakub Memon to the level of a martyr and some of the so called "intelligentsia", in their usual manner to serve their political masters, try to create a victimhood complex among Indian Muslims naturally there will be a reactionary feeling from the side of Hindus.
Take this. There was the funeral of one of the most loved man in India yesterday, who also happens to be a Muslim. I was watching the TV at 10 and Timesnow was covering it live. Then I switched to other channels. NDTV, CNN-IBN, Headlines today were covering the Memon hanging and bringing in panelists to talk about Memon mostly in a sympathetic manner.
Now the Hindu who has seen that the Supreme court working overtime throughout the night to see if the death penalty could be halted (mind you, the SC judge was hearing the case well into sunrise), would certainly wonder why so much concern for a terror accomplice. Then, even after he is hanged, the TV and print media which should have been covering the funeral of a much loved Indian Muslim, was covering the hanging of a much hated Indian Muslim. Who is at fault here? Is Kalam less important than Memon? Aren't these channels, in their desperation to create a victimhood complex among Indian Muslims, in turn actually creating a reactionary sentiment from Hindus who instead would have wanted them to praise an Indian Muslim whose funeral was being held?
Listen to this video from 1:00:00, where one of the most hated Indian to Pakistanis explains how the victimhood complex is detrimental to the Muslims themselves.
In a nutshell, the victimhood complex created by politicians and perpetuated by the media is in fact hurting the Indian Muslims most as it elicits an adverse response from the Hindu community.
They don't think of you as brothers. Trust me. I know.
