Discrimination
by Francis on Apr 11, 2006 04:35 PM

To take a position for or against would be easy to do but then it brings one or the other community under a cloud. Like there are many other predominantly Hindu societies that would have no objections to a Muslim family staying alongside them. But then again there are experiences. I once went househunting and the house belonged to a Muslim. I asked the family why they wanted to leave as the society apparently was cosmopolitan and very hesitatingly the reply came that they felt unsafe! Then again I have seen vegetarians professing more 'vegetarianism' than the others even to the extent of defining the sub-caste (high in some sense they felt) they belonged to while of course running down somebody else. And so it goes. I believe liberation of the mind is yet to dawn upon the so called educated and or middle class of this beloved country of ours and until then; we wait.
