I came across
this post a few days ago, titled, “Indians Burning the Holy Quran”.
Hate against Muslims in India is spreading like wildfire.
…Indian Government’s support…hate crimes against minorities…no control on Hindu Extremists…
…In this photograph [as shown on that post] you can see clearly how Hind Extremists openly practice their hate campaign…
A sikh spectator…part of this or is he standing there trying to be closer to the Hindu mob for his own bleak survival…
It’s not really much, but the author made an attempt to stir up some specific emotions. I did leave a comment for him, however, Pique just forwarded me an email that might help me provide a better reply.
Here’s a pic (from among many) from the email. I have a feeling that many people would have received this email; it seemed to have been forwarded several times in a matter of hours, before it landed up with me
I needn’treally say a lot, no…When extremists
within India can openly burn the Indian National Flag itself…what is it that
can NOT happen? Assaults on Bar-Girls? Naah, that happens. “Breaking” News coverage for snakes that enter homes? That happens too. Awards ceremonies where a Ashutosh Gowarikar fights with Sajid Khan?
That too.And as Pique’s mail went on to elaborate, this event was going-on while a particular news channel was reporting how a cat was stranded on the parapet of a building, and finally jumped off the spot to save herself, seeing how people wouldn’t be able to help her [apparently, the fire-engine was unable to reach there in time, because the number of news-vans that had already turned up there had blocked all entry-routes, for miles]
I will never support someone burning the Quran, or the Indian Tri-colour. No one will [except, ofcourse, the people in the pictures on either blog:
1,
2 ]. I know not how such acts can go so blatantly unpunished – I may cared to blur the face of the Seperatist leader who was burning the flag, but,
surely, the police would have seen better images than the one here?

In other things, the touring Sri Lankan cricket team was shot at in Lahore yesterday (March 3). Besides saluting the slain personnel and hoping for the safety of the injured (personnel/players), and, besides feeling sorry for the general Pakistani public (for, this is a battle that they have no part in, yet, no matter what the outcome, they shall always be on the losing side), there is nothing to say.
