Backspin has a funny cartoon which I’ve shamelessly reproduced below.
I’m no cartoonist but I’ve tried a spoof of my own, because we share a problem similar to Israel. So here goes…
If you graciously suggest some other caption, I’ll replace it with the present–and what I consider, tame–effort.

Sandeep,
Your caption is excellent.
I was thinking - This is our neighbour. We’d trade him even for Castro.
Thanks Nitin. Keep ‘em coming in
Someone just pointed me to this, forgive my six-month-old reply. I put this on your old blogsite, but I guess you don’t check that any more.
You say:
> There was a similar case during the Mumbai
> (Bombay) Blasts, (little) known as the
> Jogeshwari massacre/Radhabai Chawl massacre,
> where many Hindu families were locked up from
> the outside and roasted alive by Muslim
> miscreants. How many know this?
The better question, reading these lines, has got be this: What do YOU know about this?
One: The Bombay blasts happened on March 12, 1993. The Radhabai Chawl massacre happened on the night of January 7/8, 1993. Therefore, it would be very interesting to learn from you how the massacre happened “during” the blasts that followed over two months later.
Two: One, not “many”, Hindu family was locked up and roasted alive by Muslim miscreants. A crime horrible enough that it doesn’t need to be inflated to “many” families.
Three: Radhabai Chawl is hardly “little” known. The Shiv Sena regularly points to it as the spark of the Bombay riots. Which is itself a lie, because the riots went on all through December 1992, but no matter — the point is that it is known. It figures prominently in the Srikrishna report on the riots. A dude who asks of it “How many know this?” only puts on display his own ignorance.
Lastly, it would be interesting to hear from you why you appear to believe that “one’s own culture and heritage” don’t include what you call “negatives”.
cordially,
dilip d’souza.
