Continuing Part III of my submission: Mani Shankar Aiyar went to town, shouting from the rooftops what he had done. For God's sake, I never knew that there was a plaque commemorating Veer Savarkar's imprisonment in Kala Pani in the Andamans. Now, I have earlier posted that to the Muslims, the Prophet (Sal-Allah-Wale-Wa'Sallam) is venerated as the most perfect Man Allah could create. Hindus venerate Ram equally as Maryada-Purshottam. I need hardly remind of the abuse that Karunanidhi showered on Shri Ram. The difference is that had he dared to say the same words for the Prophet of Islam (you and I know, he wouldn't dare do it), a) he would have been beheaded, b) the Congress government would have fallen, and c) there would have been riots. Maybe, to a level that would have made post-Babri riots look like a minor skirmish.
You, Shaan, should ask yourself what is it that leads these champions of SICKULARISM to compete and outdo each other in abusing Hindus and Hinduism. Is it a terrible hunger for Muslim votes? There haven't been any protests from Muslims to these ugly slurs and abuses. At least not strongly enough to deter the likes of Aiyar and Karunanidhi, who, after protests, went on to brazenly justify what he had said about Ram.
Hindus have protested this abuse, though no one has harmed Karunanidhi. But this, like many others in a long list of abuse of Hindus, and appeasement of Muslims, is internalised. And it comes out when a host of contributing factors emerge.
