Yes we are segregating Muslims!!!
by Anu Bhambhani on Apr 13, 2006 03:20 PM

Though I wouldn't wish to believe this but Mr. Ashraf is absolutely right when he says there is discrimination. There surely is! So many of my friends claim to have a secular view about things in general but when it comes to even eating out at a Muslim friend's wedding for example, their deep rooted prejudices come to the fore! It makes one feel so sad being surrounded by such double standards! In somewhat similar case, one of my uncle who is a Muslim and a friend of my father for more than 30 years now, lives in Delhi. He lived in a posh colony of Delhi for years but soon after the infamous Gujarat riots where Muslims were killed and destroyed in a planned manner, he decided it was better for his family to stay in a Muslim dominated area. Now he is living in Okhla, a Muslim area. And so the segregation of a Muslim family from the mainstream is done! We Indians have such double standards about things! I hate it!
