Shabana says Muslims have not got their due

Shabana Azmi is a name we always find at the wrong places at all the wrong times.

 

This time around she has said that India has been unfair to the Muslim community. She says only token gestures of support have been given by the Indian and polity and that the real issues have been ignored. The Muslim community according to her has been sidelined by the majority community.

 

If that was the case she wouldn’t be where she was today addressing a TV show. The Muslim community in India is as safe as they are anywhere in the world. Maybe even more secure than Muslim havens like Pakistan. So many brilliant people from the community have worked their way up the ladder of success and become great scientists, judges and politicians. Sports and filmdom are full of Muslims who have succeeded. Her words are a shame to those in the community who have strived to make it big. Unlike other people in the majority community of Hindus, the Muslims of India have all the benefits and soaps needed for the community to wriggle out of its desert mentality.

 

Typical of the community they ask for secularism, equal rights, personal laws and when the majority lets its guard down for a moment they unleash terror. For the places they are in majority there is no question of all this because wherever they are in majority..there just doesn’t exist any kind of minorities !! And where there are minorities, the peace loving Muslims see to it that the minority is erased permanently.

 

Shabana Azmi being a bold secular face of the human rights activists in India is somehow of the same typical biased gender like her comrades like Arundathi Roy ( with whom she acted as a lesbian partner !! the Muslim community of India had no problems with that as she was representing a Hindu woman ) and Medha Patkar. These people choose their issues with care and come out with huge andolans and slogans only when the issue come to selective communities like the Muslims. They were totally missing when the Amaranath issue came to focus or when the Hindu rights where questioned at the Ram Sethu issue.

 

It’s time for the Muslim community to do a self study and see for themselves the benefits of leaving in harmony with the Hindu and sharing the Bharateeyan culture.
