Of Minorities and the First among equals...
I believe he meant just one community to which his party professes absolute concern and does lip service ever so often...but has inflicted more trauma on them then others ...do they remember Nelli massacre...
India has a rich tradition of harbouring multi cultural minorities..but then why in our national conscience the Sikhs,Parsis or Jews or even christians dont constitute the "Minority".... why is that the word Minority always is associated with Muslims...
Or are there some minority groups which are inherently superior and deserve more attenion then Others..why is it that 2000 muslim deaths in Riots in Gujrat is of more concern to some national parties than 3000 Sikhs who died in 1984 riots...Well I guess in Politicssome Human lives are worth more than Others...
If Demolition of Babri masjid is a national shame(and it is) why is it that Operation Blus star is not...
Will the Congress party ever think about sending troups into a mosque even if they had a FBI video clipping showing terrorists inside...they would be wet with fear...
Not just should the Congress party think ...its also about our public conscience..we have no qualms in cracking sardarji jokes but do they crack jokes about other minority groups with the same audacity...
Why is it that no quarter was given to the Sikh assasins of Indira gandhi while Afzal guru was given so many Clemency Petitions.....
God save India...
