Amarnath land row & secularism
by Madurai Sundaresan SatheeshKumar on Jul 24, 2008 12:27 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Dear friends

Many people in govt & media in particular feel its perfectly okay on the part of the kashmir govt & union govt to deny the basic ameneties for the amarnath pilgrims, even though its temporary shelter...

And, its quite right on the part of the kashmir people to agitate when a piece of land was to be offered for the pilgrims.
Bcoz, that will be termed as a 'secular action' in the eyes of media & the politicians...

And, when people agitate for the amarnath land, then they will be called 'communal', and things will be written as whats been done here by one of our collegues like LOVE-JK...

They will refer to the BJP, article 370, Gujarat etc...as if they are jurting minorities etc.

Will the govt ever have guts to do the same if its the case with any muslim / christian shrines? NO, bcoz, then they will agitate like anything, have violent demonstrations etc, and govt fears them atleast for votes...

Since the hindus in general are peace loving to the extent that they dont resort to any strong reaction (which is in itself good, but in the present times, being viewed as a weakness), the govt which is 'secular' just ignores them, as even as a votebank they are not that kind of entity as muslims / christians are...

But they forget onething, if things like this keeps on happening time and again, even the peaceful majority will learn from the minorities the benefits of resorting to violence (which is bad otherwise)and will not be lagging behind in those t

U r talking like Hindu shrine land has been taken by govt.
The land is belong to Govt., a govt can not give the land to community like that without onscent of local people, it was against the Indian law.

Regarding muslim, Babri Masjid has been snatched from muslims by some fanatic group, We protested and we have been killed only,

What u r talking yaar,
Be a true man,
Where muslims has given land like that.

Hi Cricket fan,
Its some piece of land given for yatra pilgrims (sherlter). Now, they revoked it. Will they ever do such a thing if its a muslim shrine? think about it man.
u spoke about babri masjid. actually many musques including this one, have been constructed after demolishing hindu shrines. Thats why even near the kashi viswanath temple, there is a mosque...

So that way, if you start to argue, then you can always go back and that will prove crimes against hindu shrines.

muslims have been so much in every state if you see, and this is something quite obvious.
