Most likely the most hated form of discrimination, racial discrimination is found almost everywhere in India. Ignorance, arrogance, or stupidity, describe the causes for the use of this form of discrimination against the minorities in the world’s biggest democracy, which is basically a Hinducracy.
A Sikh wrote a book, in which observed that Nehru and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel together conceded Pakistan to Jinnah with help from the British. That irked and angered the Hindu extremists and they expelled the writer, who was a prominent member of their party from BJP.
Narendra Modi-led Gujarat Government banned sale of the expelled Bharatiya Janata Party leader Jaswant Singh book titled– Jinnah-India, Partition, Independence-in the State. The Gujarat government blamed Jaswant’s book for denigrating the image of Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel, who was a Gujarati and held in high esteem by people across Gujarat and rest of the India for his role during India’s freedom struggle against the British rulers.
So much for the democracy. President Musharraf was right when he faced these extremist in Agra and told them about their true face. Today’s leaders won’t have the guts to support Jaswant Singh. Had Musharraf been here, he would have offered Jaswant Singh any help he wanted.
Truth always prevail.
