Once a Lackey, always a lackey

Dear AS, in the current trend of those that have jumped on the anti-Muslim bandwagon, especially given the anonimity afforded by the internet, your history is scanty and opportunistic.

The British left long ago, no need to remain a lackey! There are other more important issues you could dedicate your life then the issue which is currently quite fashionable. You are writing from India. Did you know India has the largest number of people anywhere in the world that live in abject poverty ( classified by those living on less than a dollar a day), this is a greater number of people living in poverty than those in poverty in the continent of Africa.

If my family returned back to where they came from, they would be returning back to where you are writing from. yes, to India! Don't think I would want to return to a country with such an entrenched and racist caste system and so much poverty. Furthermore, my grandparents, as professionals, were invited to Britain following the second world war. Given the Muslim pogram in Gujerat in 2002, I'm not surprised my family are not rushing back to live in India!
