Ramar Sethu Issue

Its nice to be secular, its nice to be empathetic but we need to strike a balance. Time and again the interests and sentiments of the Hindus have been undermined just to show that how secular and how minority appeasing we are eg: whenever there is a riot only the minority killings are brought to the front page, don't Hindu people also die in the riots. In situations where Hindus and the minorities suffer alike the specific incidents in which a member of any minority is oppressed is surfaced to show how much we care for the minorities,regardless of the communal sentiments that such biased treatments arise . Bilkis Bano was another such incidence of skewed portrayal, had Bikis Bano been a Hindu would she have got speedy justice given the current jam packed state of Indian judiciary ? Then why was the whole case projected as a case of delayed justice to a Muslim.

Ramar Sethu is another incident, Justice Parasarans drawing of a parallel between Babri Masjid and Ramar Sethu was absolutely appropriate. With the faith of 800 Million Hindus attached doesn't it become a symbol of Hindu religion. The media is silent over it. I can bet on it that had it been the case od a Muslim place of worship being mutilated , the newspapers would have been flooded with articles like " We do not need another Babri Masjid ?". If that holds for Muslims then why not for Hindus.
I have no grudge again any community but the point is that just to prove our open mindedness and to bring the minorities at par with the majorities we should not put the majorities at a disadvantage. They have equally respectable and honorable faith and sentiments.
