Our Bangalore MP AnanthaKumar was being interviewed by NDTV. Suddenly he told Assalam Aleikum. To a muslim person and started talking to him.
This has been the tactic of bjp during this election time. They do not want the title communal party or Hindu right wing party.
But this sudden " Bhai bhai" with all religions, is it the truth or just a facade?
I met an old classmate of mine in my home town. She had a lot of things to say about Muslims. The gist of those were that if muslims were to stay in our country they should follow our rules. They are terrorists. They even convert people using "love jihad".
These are not ramblings of some middle aged woman. Ask any supporter of BJP. Their views about people from other religions are same, may be a little bit subtle.
These beliefs were and are being spread by RSS and also BJP.
So muslims in this country should ensure that modi does not come to power. I think it is a question of their survival.
But why should those of us who are non-muslims, care? Because we do not want communal violence destroy our country. We who are not only are secular in paper but secular in thought, do want our future generations to remain that way. And more importantly we do not want repetition of 2002.
