Antulays are still in majority

And you thought Ms Barkha Dutt (Loony Tunes, Hindustan Times Saturday December 20, 2008) that Antulay is a self appointed savior while Javed Akhtar reflects the true voice of the community! An intelligent political party like congress knows whom to support to widen its base. This is a country where you can find many walking openly with 'I am ashamed that I am Hindu' when a structure gets demolished but can not find a single person confessing that he is ashamed of himself when hundreds of lives are taken by a few fanatics. This is what is meant by appeasement Ms Dutt and you understand it well but perhaps you think that your approach would affect a peaceful solution. Is it because you know that it is very easy to produce many suicide attackers by showing demolition of one single structure but only a few cowards can be misguided even after having the knowledge that hundreds of places of faith have been destroyed and thousands have been made refugee in their own country? It seems you know that why a fearful community never fears the police or the army and even the majority. Light was seen in the tunnel this time when the community appeared to be showing its willingness to become part of the mainstream. Many long pending prescriptions such as a gesture of not slaughtering caws on a holy day, raising unambiguous voices to crush terrorism and not observing the black December day were followed this time. I expected culmination of the rightist movement in India. But now it appears that it all happened because a terrorist was caught red-handed and there was no escape from this reality. The fact remains that unfortunately Antulays are still in majority.
