Blind Hatred!!
by Contractor on Jan 03, 2008 10:34 AM

Indian Hindus are blinded by hate of muslims, particularly the educated middle class. Atleast, that is my limited subjective experience. It is not uncommon to find such Indians today. What irks me about this, is the false pride that Indians take in their tolerant culture. There is helluva intolerance in India. Atleast the muslims make qualified statements of tolerance and do not make absolute claims to tolerance. Not that that is any better. But at least the match between speech and actions is closer. They do not claim to be very tolerant and they behaviourally are not quite so. Though disturbing in its own way, it is not hypocritical like the Indian Hindus.
It was verily such prejudices between communities that precipitated the partition riots between people who have lived together in the same village for centuries. I have, since forever, dreaded being under Shariah-like rule and its OPEN disenfrachisement of non-muslims. But now, I also dread being under majority facist anti-muslim rule perpetrated by the Hindus. Both are, in essence, the same - hate for the other. Someone did say rightly, that an eye for eye will leave the world blind.
