[Reader-list] .... hypocracy ...??....Meeting on Communalism, Fascism and Democracy in Delhi University

[Lalit Ambardar]

Dear all,
 
The topic of the proposed meeting interestingly excludes ethnic cleansing of Kashmiri Hindu Pandits in the valley.
 
And what is this  ‘worst kind of atrocities being committed by the fascist Hindutva forces in Jammu‘ , all about .....??......This could only be described as parochialism if the allegation pertains to the recent agitation by Jammuites against the brazen intolerance by the Kashmiri pan Islamists against the use of land for temporary facilities along the arduous Amarnath pilgrimage route.
 
And look who is going to be preaching secularism--- Prof Geelani- the man who was himself released only on technical grounds in the parliament attack case & who is a known supporter of the on going pan Islamism inspired bloody separatist violence ( in his own backyard), that has taken a heavy toll on Kashmiris.
 
 It is shear hypocrisy to talk about communalism selectively while ignoring the proponents of ‘Azadi- bara- e –Islam’ (freedom through Islam) seeking secession of Muslim majority Kashmir valley from secular India.
 
Regards all
