Indian politicians are not secular--- they are pseudosecular

What is Secular & What is Communal ?Congress says : Muslims getting killed by a few hundred is no less than a holocaust; But poor protesters getting shot in West Bengal under Left Govt is just a plain misunderstanding; 3,000 Sikhs getting slaughtered in thousands was only a big mistake; and 300,000 Hindus becoming refugees and thousands dead due to Islamic terrorists in Kashmir is a only political problem. Congress says : Congress denying Lord Rama's existence was simply a Clerical Error. But BJP saying it hurt Hindu sentiments is communal!Congress says : Haj subsidies for Muslim pilgrimage worth 3000 crores funded by Hindu tax money is secular; But Hindus questioning how their hard earned money is used are communal;Congress says : Banning Da Vinci Code was Secular But Modi Banning Parzania in Gujarat was Communal;Congress says : Chinese invasion in 1962 was just an 'unfortunate betrayal'; Kargil attack during BJP Rule was Government failure;Congress says : Reservation in every school and college on caste lines strengthen society; But same reservations in minority institutions is Communal;Congress says : Fake encounters under Cong-NCP in Maharashtra was only an instance of Police atrocity; But Fake encounters in Gujarat [Sohrabuddin] was Modi sponsored 'BJP' Communalism;Congress says : Talking about Islam and Muslim appeasement is Secular; But talking about Hindus and Hindu concerns is dangerous and Communal; Congress says : BJP freeing 3 terrorists to save Indian hostages was Shameful; But freeing 4 militants to save the life of the daughter of a minister [Rubina Sayed] was a Natural Political dilemma;Congress says : Attack on Parliament was the result of BJP ineptitude; But Congress Not hanging Afzal Guru,the mastermind despite Supreme Court orders is due to Humanity and Political dilemma;Congress says : (Manmohan) Muslims have the first right on India's resources; But Hindus questioning it is communal;

क्या आप धर्मनिरपेक्ष हैं ? जरा फ़िर सोचिये और स्वयं के लिये इन प्रश्नों के उत्तर खोजिये.....

१. विश्व में लगभग ५२ मुस्लिम देश हैं, एक मुस्लिम देश का नाम बताईये जो हज के लिये "सब्सिडी" देता हो ?

२. एक मुस्लिम देश बताईये जहाँ हिन्दुओं के लिये विशेष कानून हैं, जैसे कि भारत में मुसलमानों के लिये हैं ?

३. किसी एक देश का नाम बताईये, जहाँ ८५% बहुसंख्यकों को "याचना" करनी पडती है, १५% अल्पसंख्यकों को संतुष्ट करने के लिये ?

४. एक मुस्लिम देश का नाम बताईये, जहाँ का राष्ट्रपति या प्रधानमन्त्री गैर-मुस्लिम हो ?

५. किसी "मुल्ला" या "मौलवी" का नाम बताईये, जिसने आतंकवादियों के खिलाफ़ फ़तवा जारी किया हो ?

६. महाराष्ट्र, बिहार, केरल जैसे हिन्दू बहुल राज्यों में मुस्लिम मुख्यमन्त्री हो चुके हैं, क्या आप कल्पना कर सकते हैं कि मुस्लिम बहुल राज्य "कश्मीर" में कोई हिन्दू मुख्यमन्त्री हो सकता है ?

७. १९४७ में आजादी के दौरान पाकिस्तान में हिन्दू जनसंख्या 24% थी, अब वह घटकर 1% रह गई है, उसी समय तत्कालीन पूर्वी पाकिस्तान (अब आज का अहसानफ़रामोश बांग्लादेश) में हिन्दू जनसंख्या 30% थी जो अब 7% से भी कम हो गई है । क्या हुआ गुमशुदा हिन्दुओं का ? क्या वहाँ (और यहाँ भी) हिन्दुओं के कोई मानवाधिकार हैं ?

८. जबकि इस दौरान भारत में मुस्लिम जनसंख्या 10.4% से बढकर 14.2% हो गई है, क्या वाकई हिन्दू कट्टरवादी हैं ?

९. यदि हिन्दू असहिष्णु हैं तो कैसे हमारे यहाँ मुस्लिम सडकों पर नमाज पढते रहते हैं, लाऊडस्पीकर पर दिन भर चिल्लाते रहते हैं कि "अल्लाह के सिवाय और कोई शक्ति नहीं है" ?

My letter to Chetan Bhagat in context to new novel

Dear Cheatn sir,
I just finished “Three Mistakes of My life”, after finishing the novel my first reaction was “what a shit is this”, although it is not so bad but I expected more quality from a writer like u.
I like ur previous two novels very much, and I am also waiting for ur 4th book but I felt terribly bad for this “Mistake book”.
You tried everything from cricket, sex, religion, and politics to family drama but all such drama was in overdose.
It is perhaps due to- ur previous books are turning into Movies and now u r more associated with Bollywood , so like Bollywood masala u poured too much of masala in the book , particularly the description where 3 guys take on rioters ( in quite Bollywood masala manner ). Also don’t get monotonous with characters, girls are always dumb in ur novels be it Neha, Priyanka or Vidya. (Although I have no such problem with it because most of the girls are like that , perhaps girls may get angry over that, but that’s their issue ).
I also didn’t like the use of term “secular party”( as no party in India is secular ) everybody knows to which part u r indicating, , here u may argue not to be intellectual in a fiction book , but since literature has its own impact and being a creative person u should not be biased in use of ur terms. You are terming a party “Hindu party”, and then it will be justified if u calls another party “Appeasement party” instead of ‘Secular’.
Literature of any country and age becomes images of history as time passes be it fiction or something else.
You used the term “miscreants” for those who burn the coach and later u used the term “Hindu mob”; if mob can be “Hindu” then u should have guts to call “miscreant” as “Muslim miscreants”. Sir it would have been better if u kept in mind “mob” is “mob” it is not Hindu or Muslim, because “Mob” has no intuition.
Sir what do u mean by “angry Hindu chants”? I think it is not a good choice of word.
“Bittoo mama” chanting during that situation also seems not good in flavor.
Chetan, don’t think that I am a Hindu fanatic or a particular community hater; as far as my religious and political views are concerned I am completely neutral; in terms of religion partly atheist and partly agnostic.
I am compelled to write this because everywhere I have seen so called “intellectuals” just getting involved in harassing the major community and labeling a major party as extremist.
Small things matters, be it a media report or a fiction novel.
You may say that why I am creating so much noise about use of some words, I have reasons because ur books are runaway hit with youngsters (me also just completed my engineering this summer) and I think art hits deep inside-at the unconscious level.

Perhaps I am getting to harsh, but it is what came in my thoughts , if I am harsh or rude to you just ignore,,,,,,, hey who knows u read unto this line or just used the easy button “delete”……. Its ur choice completely.
But if u has read it I would like to have ur response, after all u r a writer who wants to be loved…… I will also post it to my blog.
Waiting…..
Ashwani
