I, too, once believed the grand conspiracy theory that Mumbai 26/11 was an RSS production—apparently masterminded just to eliminate Hemant Karkare Ji and frame Muslims. After all, S.M. Mushrif managed to release a book within days, so obviously he must have cracked the whole case before the smoke even cleared.
Then reality hit me last year during my illegal detention in an Arab country, when I met several Pakistanis who claimed to be from Ajmal Kasab’s own neighborhood.
An elderly cell-mate, Chacha Mahaboob, proudly told me, “We distributed sweets when we heard that a kid from our colony had done such a noble act of jihad.” Yes, sweets. For terrorism. 🤦🏻♂️
Another cell-mate, Adnan Khan, reminisced about how he and Kasab used to work together. According to him, all his colleagues were left agape when they discovered that their former colleague had reached such “heights.” Apparently, mass murder is a career milestone in some circles.
And just when I thought I’d heard enough, along comes a video of Lashkar’s Shamshad Ahmed taking oaths from attendees, urging them to carry out more 26/11-style attacks.
But of course, here in India we still have people who insist that Mumbai 26/11, Pulwama, Pahalgam, and every other major attack are all “inside jobs.”
According to them, Pakistan-based terror groups must be busy distributing blankets and running orphanages. The mental gymnastics required for this worldview deserves its own Olympic category.
"In Lahore, Hindu studied science/ english and built successful businesses
Muslim studied Islam, pulled carts and worked as laborer
This difference created Pakistan"
Clearly partition was Hindus' fault. Why couldn't the fascist Hindus remain illiterate?

Where are those who claim to champion freedom of religions and expression globally and sermon India every day? Outrageous.
