[Reader-list] gujrat election

[Vedavati Jogi]

vivek,
 
this hatred arises due to 'asymmetric' secularism. 
 
otherwise there is no difference between ordinary hindu & ordinary muslim. i am a maharashtrian married to a kashmiri hindu. there is a huge difference between our respective cultures even though both of us are hindu brahmins coming from same socio-economic class.
 
but to my great surprise there is not much difference between kashmiri hindu & kashmiri muslim. before 1989 my husband says there was no enmity between two communities, instead he had many muslim friends in his college.
 
but after 1989, hindus became refugees in their own country.actually  its a shame on all of us. but none of our prime ministers got time to visit their camps in jammu or delhi. there is no succhar committee, no economic  package , no budget allocation for these refugees. our secular politicians are ready to 'talk' to 'terrorists' who have (1)killed  hindus including our military men, (2)pulled down temples, (3)burnt houses of hindus ( our ancestor's property too has met with the same fate ). 
i can give many examples of this type of asymmetric secularism which has its roots in gandhian philosphy.
 
many hindus have sofar opposed ways of narendra modi, but there is not a single muslim who has raised his voice against this asymmetric secularism.  
 
hindus are now in no mood to show magnonimity towards terrorists like soharabuddin or afzal guru hence they are in no mood to vote for those politicians who support these terrorists just because they  happen to be muslims  . 
 
if you visit tehelka or rediffmail websites you will find that majority of hindus are now  wholeheartedly supporting modi. 
 
when communal riots break out, its an ordinary innocent muslim (and not tista settlewad or shabana azmi) who is at the receiving end. politicians & socalled seculars remain safe in their own houses.
 
they must now  introspect & try to understand the reasons behind modi's victory.
