"You are Secular only When You are Pro-Muslim & Anti-Hindu"

"You are Secular only  When You are Pro-Muslim & 

Anti-Hindu"

"Most secular people are pro-Muslims and anti-Hindu. They protest against the acts of Hindu fundamentalists and defend the heinous acts of Muslims fundamentalists. Politicians appease Muslims for votes. This annoys many Hindus. In Canning, a Hindu village in West Bengal was burnt  down by Muslims fanatics in 2013. If Muslims were brutally persecuted in India, they would have left India for neighbouring Muslim countries like Hindu minorities have been leaving Bangladesh and Pakistan since partition." Taslima Nasreen said in an interview with the Times of India.

Taslima Nasreen must be saluted for such a bold statement on  such a controversial issue which has been dogging India for many decades. When her book was banned in West Bengal and when five fatwas were issued against her, most of the writers chose to remain silent. The writers  or intellectuals should not be anti-Hindu or pro-Muslim. Why should not they be pro -Human? Of course then that would not  have brought them into limelight perhaps. Then that would not have increased the TRP of different channels also.

Writers, intellectuals talk of post Godhra riots but they do not talk of the cause of Godhra riots that is Godhra train carnage in which hundreds of innocent  people including women and children coming from Ayodhya after worship were burnt alive, tortured, even some of the women gang-raped. We are not aware of  their situations even today in which  many families were destroyed, because they were from majority community hence perhaps not human beings not even vote banks, not even fodder for media or writers or intellectuals. A major incident related to majority community do not hit the headlines but a minor incident of a minority community is blown out of proportions. Loss of any human being is the loss of the country not of majority or minority. How many of us know that a Muslim couple gave a birth to their son  in one of the temples in Mahrashtara with the support and assistance of Hindu women present in the temple? 

Pseudo secularists, pseudo intellectuals, pseudo writers, it seems, try to project themselves anti-Hindu to get the attention of media otherwise they should have been pro-human. They should protest all kinds of exploitation, oppression. 

Again faith of minority is faith not to be questioned at all but faith of majority is subject to all kinds of debate, discussion. Personal Laws of minority can not be debated or challenged but personal laws of majority open to debate and vulnerable to continuous modifications/changes. 

Holy books of minority cannot be debated but  holy books of majority are open to all kinds of criticism and debate. Nothing can be written on holy persons of minority or become subject of paintings but holy devis or devtas of majority  can become subject of writers, intellectuals, painters. Why do not these so called pseudo secularists play with the faith of minority?

Let us become true secular but  not like pseudo secular who are pro-Muslim and anti-Hindu. Let us become secular  by becoming neither pro-Muslim nor pro-Hindu nor anti-Hindu or anti-Muslim  but and but  by becoming pro-Human.
