Three shades of communalism: By Ghulam Muhammed

Thursday, October 03, 2013

Three shades of communalism:

1 --- Wholesale arbitrary arrests of Muslims, preferably young and educated, possibly already on police watch list --- after every incident of bombings, later proved to be the handiwork of Hindutva terrorists. The police action is one shade of communalism.

2 --- Union Home Minister writes a letter to all state focusing on the communal prejudice behind all such arbitrary arrests of Muslims that are invariably freed by courts, after their illegal incarceration for years under specially devised laws that in essence are the very manifestation of gross communalism. BJP calls it communalism of Congress.

3 --- BJP is incensed that Union Home Minister should publicly mention Muslims as victims of communal treatment by police and security agencies. BJP ideology sanctions victimization of Muslims.  That is another very intense shade of communalism.

Please take your pick of the shade that is most dangerous for the integrity of Indian nation!
