[Reader-list] Fwd: Feel free, Mr. Husain. Go paint Qatari leaders

[Rakesh Iyer]

As I said, nobody is secular in this country. What all people, particularly
political parties do, is to show their side of secularism, and hence they
are pseudo-secularists. And such pseudo-secularists will keep playing
politics when it suits them. Be it the Delhi pogrom (1984), Bhagalpur pogrom
(1989), Babri Masjid demolition and riots (1992), Gujarat pogrom (2002),
Karnataka-Orissa violence (2008) or the complete destruction of the ideas of
liberty and freedom, they will do it for some sect or the other.

I remember that Anupam used the word Renaissance in one of his mails. If
really we need Renaissance in this country, the first objective is to burn
these pseudo-secularists in public after telling them to either stop being
politicians and ruling the country, or get burnt themselves. After all, I
have no objections with ordinary citizens being fools of the millennium, but
I am against leaders who have no sense and understanding acting to beat the
citizens in achieving the coveted position.

P.S:

While other Islamic nations were removing the Triple Talaq, our Muslims
became the benefactors of the Muslim Personal Law passed in the Parliament.
And yes of course, with the BJP-led NDA coming to power, I had the privilege
of studying a social science curriculum about which the less said the
better. Not to forget, a pogrom also took place in 2002 for which the chief
minister of the state in concern was heard quoting Newton's third law for
explanation. Wonder if his death by a terrorist would mean that law being
proven again or an exception to the law.
