Apologetic Indian

Submitted by Nilanjana Dasgupta (Japan), Aug 24, 2005 at 03:52

Why do I always find the Indians so apologetic in asserting their rights and stating facts. It's brazenly foolish to even try to equate the rights of Hindus / Christians in Pakistan with that of Muslims in India. The biggest folly of the Hindus is of course their abundant gift of tolerance, not only to co-habitate with the ... muslim populace, but also to stomach the persecution that they have been subjected to, over decades by the demagogues and charlatans infesting the Indian political lanscape. It is as if the Hindus are now living as minorities in a land which beyond doubt belongs to them and them only. Hey Suketa Patel, you dont have to take pains to explain it. We all know how the muslims live in glory in India and thats the pity....
