RE:HIndu
by Apoorbo on Jul 26, 2008 11:37 PM

it is not desirable to be jingoistic or parochial etc.

but Hindu is correct in this case. time has come to do something serious about this menace. Unfortunately, Hindus will continue to get targeted unless they collectively respond to this and stand united.

tragedy is that the middle-class Hindus are the worst culprits. they are the first ones to bash ourselves, and the results are there for all to see.

as a indicator of how mockingly people perceive the Hindu community, listen to how an average Paki ridicules us by saying we are not tough enough, have guts or the ability to stand up to challenges. We have heard similar sentiments event on the cricket field when Paki cricketers used to describe what they feel are the main reasons that India used to get defeated by them in ODIs in spite of good cricketers in the Indian team.

Things may be changing a bit in the current Indian team, but the situation as far as the Hindu community goes is still as bad. To top it all, the minute anyone expresses the injustice and problems faced by Hindus, the media will jump and brand that person or the Hindus in India as "Hindu Nationalists"!!!
