[Reader-list] BHOPAL TRAGEDY

[TaraPrakash]

I am not sure about the Muslim credentials of the culprits, I think Arjun 
Singh is not a Muslim. Khurshid was called a "bhade ka Musalman" by Ms. 
Bhutto. Justices are, by and large, not religious, justice Bhagwandas became 
chief justice of Pakistan for a while.
But what is clear is that the "intellectuals" those who determine the 
dominant narrative in Indian political context, are frustratingly soft on 
Congress government. We read a detailed history of CPI(M)'s criminal past in 
West Bengal on this list. We are taken back to Gujarat riots as soon as Modi 
or BJP is mentioned. Congress is hardly mentioned in the emails of the 
intellectual hegemons. It is obliquely mentioned as Indian government some 
times, but not as congress. The party that supported dropping of bombs on 
its own people in Mizoram, the party that orchestrated massacre of sikhs in 
1984, seems to have a clean past. Apparently you have to be a Muslim to 
claim victimhood. And then too, a Muslim tormented by the government of a 
party that is not Congress
