An Open Letter to 'pseudo' Indian Muslims:
My Dear Family Members
Wish you a belated Eid. Though I missed having the proverbial delicacies you make during this festival, but I satiated myself vicariously with multitudes of pictures you shared with us. It was a heart warming experience to see so much joy. So Thank You for that!.
However, I am writing this letter to you to share a serious concern I have developed in the recent last two days of events in my country. Two Muslims died the same day. One created his name for propelling the human race forward through his scientific achievements and making us all feel proud of him leading as our President. While the other made name for propelling fear and terror through his involvement in abetting a terror activity. It was a proud moment for the humanity to see the whole country unite together in mourning the loss of our President. For everyone of us, we lost our President that day. No Hindu, no Muslim, no Sikh ,no Christian. Just a President. When a good person dies, society transcends beyond the trivialities of religion, caste and race. I was sad to see a luminary of our country pass away. But I am more saddened when I see you in the below pic coming out in huge numbers to support the funeral. Not of my President, but of the other Muslim, a terror accomplice.
Two robbers come to rob your house. While one just helps in break-in, the other ransacks your whole house, killing your family members and finally absconding. The other robber didn't kill your family members , but had he not helped the break-in, your family members would have been still alive. Would you still condone the other robber and make him a martyr?. The mockery of justice is not in Yakub Memon's hanging. You can question the fairness of the justice not being applied to another accused in the same crime. I would support you on that. But when I see you, my fellow countrymen mourning the demise of a terror accomplice more than the beloved President, I shudder to think something is going really wrong in my country. I feel scared. I feel a prick in the heart. This is not just the travesty of justice but the mockery of the whole human spirit. Please don't do that. Human spirit is what binds all of us together in this world. If there is a mourning in your family and I throw a party at my house, I am sure you would break down. The human spirit doesn't break down when a loved one dies. But it does start to shake when compassion in this world dies.
There is a reason I called you 'pseudo' Muslims of India. Because you don't talk for and represent the majority Muslims of my country. At least not the Muslim friends I have met in my life. I am also confident we both are strong enough not to get instigated and influenced by hate-mongering media. You have the same right on this country as me. And as my fellow countrymen, I have full faith in you that you wish the same good for this country as I do.
If you want to Walk Fast, Walk Alone. But if you want to Walk Far, let's Walk Together! You need to make a choice now!
Your fellow Countryman
