Yes, Professor, You are right about all the above. It is a violent streetscape in many parts of India where either the Muslims or Communists of various hues are strong! Communists are in the last throes of their existential crisis, and they are likely to disappear as a force with another General election. Muslims are not like that. Militant Muslims are a growing threat. Hindu Indians created a society in which Muslim Indians have more rights, more power, more privileges, and opportunities than Muslims anywhere on earth including all the Islamic countries! But they cannot be satisfied. They have no concern for their country as they do not recognize territorial affinities. Their affinities are social and religious and therefore extraterritorial - for only the Ummah! What MIM Telegana MLA said once “Remove the police for 15 minutes, we will finish off 100 crores Hindus” seems to be the general sentiment among a large number of Muslim Indians!

thank you for the comment. communists like to create a vacuum, and anarchy; and often the vacuum is filled by fundamentalists of various types. it is true that because of the apartheid constitution hindus have fewer rights than others in india, and indeed ordinary muslims are better off in india than anywhere else in the world. hindus are under siege, and in a race against time, with nobody on our side (except perhaps the japanese). i'll read your blog when i get some time.
