Muslim sentiments were hurt when Babri Masjid was demolished on December 6, 1992! What about the Hindu sentiments? Does anyone care? Can you imagine a Hindu temple in Mecca or Medina or for that matter in Vatican? The question does not arise. Hindus by and large stuck to the Indian sub-continent and did not go beyond their traditional habitat and try to conquer other cultures. They have been perceived as passive and so can be pushed around by anyone and everyone. Just imagine that Babri Masjid stands the way it did before 1992. Do you mean to say that ‘Godhra Kand’ would not have taken place? Do you really believe that all these terrorists are being produced because of Babri Masjid or the Gujarat Riots? THINK again!
Do I condone the demolition of Babri Masjid? Absolutely not! But then I do not support the renaming of Flora Fountain either. My view is that any monument built before August 15, 1947 should have been preserved as part of our history, including Babri Masjid. History can not be changed, good or bad. It is our heritage and only “jingoes” try to mess around with history. It is their insecurity and lack of self-confidence that prompts them to indulge in such irresponsible acts. Hindu Mahasabha, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, Shiv Sena, Vishva Hindu Parishad and now Bajrang Dal, all of them are destructive groups that have done great damage to the Hindu identity. These riffraffs came together in response to the formation of Muslim League and subsequent militant outfits. Neither has served their followers in any meaningful way.
The Hindu-Muslim divide is actually civilizational that began with the reign of Aurangzeb in 1658. He openly discriminated against the Hindu majority and alienated the traditional Rajput support of the Mughal Empire. The orthodox Sunni Muslim minority has ever since espoused his cause and never reconciled to the majority Hindu rule. This dogmatic minority has divided a significant Muslim population into three countries (India, Pakistan and Bangladesh) and has reduced their influence on any part of the Indian sub-continent. Put together, a Muslim population of 500 million in Greater India would have governed the undivided country for at least 20 of the 61 years after independence. Nawabzada Liaquat Ali Khan would have been the Deputy Prime Minister of India and a Prime Minister of India after Jawaharlal Nehru!
Instead, the Aligarh Gang and the Sunni Mullahs have created two failed Muslim States and beggared the 150 million free Muslims of India. Do you blame Hindus for that? Is Babri Masjid bogeyman going to feed this population? What is the future of hundreds of millions of young Muslims on the Indian sub-continent? How many of them are going to be professional terrorists? How many Hindus do they plan to kill? Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates could very well afford to create a Harvard or Stanford University and Cambridge or Oxford; instead they created Wahhabi Seminaries, Deobandi Madrassas, Taliban and al Qaeda! Do you blame Narendra Modi (Chief Minister of Gujarat) for that? While all this self-pity is going on, their Hindu counterparts are busy competing for the IITs and IIMs and building a twenty first century economy! Muslims need to make their choice.
