I come from an India where a bigoted Saba Naqvi will share a Shivlingam meme and still be certified as a liberal. While a Nupur Sharma will quote from the Hadith and still be called an illiterate bigot.
India is truly secular that's why Nupur is suspended, Kashmir's Hindus are dumped, UCC is shelved, CAA is frozen, State controls temples, arbitrary 1991 PoW Act is on books and BJP cares what 'inclusive and open' Iran & Qatar think.
Suspending @NupurSharmaBJP is a cowardly act by the BJP. The party has thrown her to the wolves.
Nupur, we want you to know: The strength of this nation rests in the hands of her people, not any party, and We, the people, stand with you, always, every step, every breath.
The person in the BJP who leaked the letter of suspension that carried Nupur’s address should not just be suspended, he should be arrested.
That single irresponsible act has put her life in immediate peril and at the mercy of Jihadis.
Ms @tavleen_singh. You stood with Mr Salman Taseer when he protected the blasphemer Asia Bibi; you stood with Salman Rushdie when he insulted the Prophet [ﷺ] and his wives [RA]; you stood with Charlie Hebdo journalists when they drew him - why, then, do you not stand with Nupur?
Vile, how pretend liberals rationalise their hypocrisy. They will stand with Rushdie, with Charlie Hebdo, but they will not stand with Nupur who only said what is mentioned in revered scriptures Sahih al-Bukhari & Sunan an-Nasa'i.
I prefer Ranas and Arfas over them any day.
When a society surrenders its most fundamental right to defend itself entirely to the State,hands over all its institutions to the State,and puts all its eggs in the political basket,it is bound to be orphaned and deprived of all its defenses. Case in point - The Hindu society.
I repeat - Strengthen the community and its ability to protect itself from the street veto of the desert cult. Do not surrender your long-term interests and safety at the feet of any political party or organisation. You must be your Plan A and Plan B. Realize this at least now.
During Modi govt's 8 years, Bharat Mata had to hang her head in shame because we crawled before the Chinese on Ladakh, knelt before the Russians, meowed before the Americans in QUAD. But we did shastangam dandawat before the tiny Qatar. That was depravity of our foreign policy.
