I don’t think that Muslims are hindrance to progress. Is there any statistics to prove this? I am sure with we being the second largest population in this country must be contributors in the GDP and economic growth. Taxes by Muslims in IT/ITES, Goverment jobs, Muslim Businessmen, Exporters, People like Aziz Premji incidentally from Gujurat.

Salman, agree with you that Gujurat has got economic growth under Modi but this has been the case with all dictators worldwide and they ultimately led to the destruction of their so called growths as well. Hitler in Germany, Mussolini in Italy or to some extent Musharraf in Pakistan all are famed for bringing huge growth and ultimately destroyed their countries or are leading to it.

[...] Salman analyses the difference between Thackeray and Modi- while Thackeray, according to him, hates Muslims for just being Muslims, Modi hates them for being a hindrance to progress: Gujaratis are more concerned about making money rather than anything else, Muslims spoil the show by clamouring about reservations.What was the result of this drama? Modi won and thus Gujarat saw an unprecedented growth. Or did Modi work so hardÂ to convince the people and justify the risk that he took by endorsing the pogrom? I don’t deny this but chances are rare.And so I conclude the differences between Modi and Thackrey. Modi’s vision of a great state has earned him laurels from all sections of the society. The butchered Muslims, who cares!, they were anyway a burden on the society. [...]

Naqqad, have no idea what u mean. Vaguely something like pandits are a privileged lot and that some sect or religion is more partial than anyone else ever in history and that aid given to pandits should be deducted from Gujarat budget?

pandits have been a privileged lot right from the days of aurangzeb when they were being forced to convert, sought Guru Teghbahadur’s help which led to his martyrdom. interesting that you have experienced all this history and present first hand. to do that, you must not be a person, but an ideology.

Naqqad,

we will all assume your use of the word “bandits” was just a typo, and not really meant that way. Freudian slip, perhaps?

Triple,

If true, the loudspeakers who sent the Bandits from the valley has made the communalists task easier. Now you need not create government vacancies for them, whereas, the brazen aid given to them in India is deducted from Kashmir budget. There is no example is history where the followers of a religion or sects must have been so partial. You need to be acceptible to the truths, unfortunate and fortunately I have seen the facts, First Hand. You should be happy!!

Salman – there’s nothing new that we have heard in the tapes. so why get so worked up? u r calling people ‘wingers’ – but u’ve mentioned muslims as just muslims. aren’t there ‘wings’ in muslims? for example the wing that supports osama, the wing that supports bukhari and shahbuddin, the wing that participates in bomb blasts, the wing that wants to make india an islamic state, the wing that follows zakir naik, the wing that votes as their mulla tells them to vote and those who play tapes from their prayer places telling pandits to leave their homeland or die and it goes on and on… but of course they are just ‘muslim’ and hence only victims of somebody else. they love everyone, but get only hatred in return. yes sir, u r right, the blogsphere is only doing taqqiya, but u don’t move from ur righteous standpoint.

Disenchanted, I do understand what is going in your mind. We are all victims of prejudices. Prejudices which take us away from our inner self. We justify every wrong with a wrong. Let us be humans first and humans last and I guess Being Hindu, Muslim will then seem very small to be.
