This is important and urgent. All the citizens of India must unite and prevent Taliban like forces from taking over this country. This morning the papers report that a teenage girl in a village near Mangalore committed suicide after being humiliated by Hindu right wingers for having a muslim friend.
Many political parties and general hooligans seem to have got together and hijacked the Hindu label. They are far removed from the Hindu religion, which stands for enlightenment and tolerance, and which is respected for its philosophy all over the world.
In recent months, this 'saffron brigade' has tortured Christians in Orissa and other states, bombed Muslims in Malegaon, beaten women in Mangalore and is now threatening various kinds of action against anyone seen celebrating Valentine's Day tomorrow.
Recent actions in Orissa, Mangalore and the Valentine's Day threat shows that citizens of India cannot exercise their personal choice over religion and even relationships any more.
We need to stop this. Let us start plannning protests all over the country. Start by leaving your comments in this blog and let us make this a citizen's movement.
