Umar ibn Al Khattab (RA):
“We (the Arabs) were a humiliated people before Islam, whenever we will find pride in anything other than Islam, we will be humiliated again”
This photo depicts many things for many.
For me this photo depicts what is wrong with our political system. The system reward friends and personal connection above anything else.
we need a system which will work without personal connections.
We don't hire a plumber to unblock our toilet because we have personal connections with him. We hire him because he knows his job well and will do a clean professional job.
The irony is that the same ecosystem which cheered when Khan Sir used stereotypes like "puncture wala" and "20 bacche paida karne wale" against Muslims has suddenly remembered that he is a Muslim.
And today, many of those "puncture walas" are standing with him while his former cheerleaders are targeting him.
Politics is temporary. Identity politics eventually consumes its own allies.
