Hasmukh,
Agreed. No one needs to be set aside, let off, etc .
Similarly, no one can and will be able to correct others. Forget others, can we correct ourselves?
Remember, I was and am most vehement aginst the terror acts of 11/7 - whether the pepetrators were muslim/sikhs/hindus/christians - whoever...
How does one impose ones views and beliefs on others? How does one get someone else to understand the very dispassionate nature of our national song - passionate for Indians, but not for the fragments that make up our secular fabric. Frankly I have not understood the National Anthem nor the Song in its entirety as the Poets had visualised them. What we have been getting are the biased - very biased versions of the LEADERS and intelligentsia - as per their vested interests at any particular point of time.
Let me put it this way - any community which does not respect its women is a very backward community- to that extent Muslims are a very backward community. In our own way all communities inIndia have their drawbacks - are we able to police or correct ourselves that we can correct others - that too a community which is perceived to be very rigid in its beliefs.
As far as the politicians are concerned the less said the better. They have only one view - the politics of skin saving and personal advancement. Condemning the hardliners is and will always be on top priority, not that it matters to them. Teir rhetoric will never cease. Simply because that is what keeps them going and what makes them maney and gives them the hold on peoples minds. It is entirey immaterial that a few thousand people die here or there. It is called COLLATERAL DAMAGE. Brother - you and I are the Collateral.
I completely agree with what you and Basab say, only I mentioned that individuals need not be dragged ino the fray without their voluntary involvement.
