Sometimes I wonder if I really live in the same country as other Indians posting here. Hindus playing victim is actually the same as Germans playing victims and blaming their anguish on Jews. Minorities are always the easiest targets to lay blame on. The fact that even educated, rational Indians do this is a testament to failure of our society to emerge from adolescence.
Are minorities given privileges in India? Sure, in the constitution they definitely are. But we don't live in the constitution - we live in the cities, towns and villages of India where people still view each other from points of view of linguistic, ethnic and caste identity. And there is rampant discrimination.
Yes, there definitely is discrimination against Indian Muslims in particular - not in the private sector or even in the public sector as such but in society in general.
And those praising Narendra Modi - the guy was either directly responsible for killing Indian citizens who happened to be Muslims or perhaps he turned a blind eye - but Muslims were massacred in India. In the freaking 21st century. What was the fault of the women and children who died? Yes, Hindus were burnt in that Godhra train but was killing more innocents the answer to that problem?
Even the heroes you quoted - Bhagat Singh, Azad, Rajguru - they fought for India - they died for India. Not for Hindus or Hindustan. I really like India - it is just the Indians that I have a problem with.
