A few daysback i watched a documentary about the sikh riots in India just after Indira Gandhi was killed.Iam familiar with the issue because interestingly,i was born that very year and also just 3 days before she was murdered.I used to hear the stories from my parents,that how my father used to come and meet my mother and me in curfew,and how my mother experienced more than just baby blues because of the situation.But when I saw that documentary it all just was alive and re living in my thoughts, the terrible experiences of the people,of their relatives and how suddenly a day made thousands of people into brutal killers?A common man killing so shamelessly on the streets......any how i was stunned,a bit difficult to take in that it all happened in my city where i was born and raised.Next time I go to Delhi it would be hard not to look at strangers and think about those killers still living and living with all that they did.
Sikhs or for that matter of fact any religious community except Hindus,who are in majority can feel safe living in India.India is a secular country,so many cultures,languages......one might feel the sense of pride thinking all this,but reality is that its now a Country waiting to be in pieces.......
Be it Kashmir which is a disputed land and there is army which is ruling the people.There is hardly any involvement of the Indian government in the upliftment of the people of Kashmir.No one thinks about the economic growth and infrastructure of Kashmir.All the debate is for a piece of land,not its people and their lives.Its a country which sleeps peacefully over the killings of innocent lives.
Maharashtra has its own dominant voice of the Marathi speakers.Anyone or Anything which is not Maharashtra born is not good enough to live there.The city which is a dreamland for people who come for work became a nightmare and Indians were literally thrown out of this part of secular India.Why don't these terrorists get arrested?India is now seeing a new enemy,these people don't even see fellow hindus as their co habitants but its now a mere region and its language which is a reason for this revulsion.India is now seeking division not in the name of religion but region.
India lets say has the minimum tolerance to Muslims,where it comes to hatred.Indian muslims are greater in number than muslims in Pakistan but because they have a similar religion Indian muslims are often targets of being pro Pakistan.The number one enemy of India,since its Independence.Muslims have been shown time and again how much they are unwanted and hated in different parts of India.Riots in India are not uncommon and can be inflicted with the smallest of incidents.People can loose all their sense in the name of religion.
The fact that Islam is the second biggest religion after hinduism in india doesn't help,If muslims were a small minority I think it would be less threatening and less of an ego issue to the majority India.
Parts of India where dalits and poor are dying of hunger,there religion does not even mater to them anymore.There is no help no source of income and even selling their own children to survive.Its a shame that people die of hunger in this rising economy. Its a shame for all those people who are in power but are useless.
Each part of india be it Assam or Tamilnadu, Kashmir or Maharashtra....and in future there will be many more and its very unfortunate that India is doing this to itself.....
