Am really not sure on how many people who are reading this will share such strong feelings as mine. If you are one among them, you can comfortably certify yourselves brain-dead and stop reading further!
Secularism -– in the Indian context is to protect the interests of the minority, however eccentric they are, at the cost of the majority. Though we observe this, we remain oblivious, too busy with our mundane shit trying to make another penny by licking any filthy ass that lets us do so.
If you started thinking, this guy is nuts, give me a minute and I will prove how numb you are. I saw something today, something that shook me to the core. It was a huge hoarding of SaddamHusseinn, displayed in front of a popular mosque in a minority area of the city. There were a couple of others with me, who dismissed it to be something very unimportant not because they were busy trying to finalize nuclear policies, but because they had to catch a quick nap. I started thinking, where are we drifting? And more importantly, was I over reacting? I guess not.
Touch down In**, and what do I see a bunch of people busily preparing for the upcoming festival of another minority community. Why? They aren'’t sure why. Some, so called progressive thinkers may contest my stand in the name of secularism. Then, why not celebrate our festivals with the same zeal? Hypocrites! I guess it's time we try to be true to our religion, and then think about feigning secularism.
