[Reader-list] Election Forecast

[Rakesh Iyer]

Dear Rajen jee

I am surprised that all this comes from you who is a well educated grown-up.
* *When I see people like you making such statements, my only fear is that
Bin Laden and his men (as well as the RSS) are succeeding in ensuring that
people of my country are getting divided.

I agree that Muslims whom I have met are somewhat conservative about their
religion, but I can't accept that they are a threat to our society or to our
nation at all or to the human race at all. And I must say that instead of
having just Muslim people working under you for your economic purpose, you
would better go and learn about their religion as well. May help you
somewhat in this process as well.

And one more thing Sir. If a Nair is attacked, you may say a Hindu is being
attacked. A Muslim may say a Hindu is being attacked. But when God sees it,
he will say a human being is being attacked. And I feel the same way that a
human being is being attacked.  And for the action of a few bad Muslims, I
don't think the entire community should be punished.

And if the community is succumbing to communal fervour, then we should point
it out in the media and then get that community talking with others to let
this fervor go away.

I still feel this disease is slowly and slowly consuming more people. You
have got this disease, then your family would have it, your children would
have it, then their children would have it. It's a disease which gets
transmitted from parents to children. And such disease transfer would lead
to problems even from a nationalist perspective. (and this is for all those
who are having Hindu-Muslim problems)

Therefore, for the nation's sake, if not yours (since you are nationalist
and put nation before yourself), please get well soon.

Regards

Rakesh
