JNU, where art thou?

Wonder where Teesta Seetalvad, Arundhati Roy and the other JNU folks have disappeared. Looks like they only support "minority" issues.

They are "secular" people.

They are busy arguing that Ram Sethu is fiction and Hinduism is superstition.

Please dont bring Teesta Seetalvad, she is married to the noble man Javed Anand who is fighting communalism in the country. We should admire such people.

Muslims are minorities. We should not offend their sentiments. We should make them comfortable in this country.

Athithi devo bhava!

One High Court said that Muslims can no longer be considered as minorities, because their precentage is more than 5%. Only a group whose percentage is less than 5% can be considered a minority. But the government ignored what the High Court said.

Muslim population is somewhere around 20% now or even more.

But, for our politicians, Muslims continue to be a minority.

They will not speak against what is going on now, because that will strengthen the communal forces like Narendra Modi, when elections are to take place in Gujarat.
