Somebody Rescue Yogi Sikand

By admitting him into an insane asylum. Yeah, he’s not (my mistake, confusing him for the original, Yoginder Yadav) the same statistical evil genius that the Congress party employs to get the pre-poll/exit poll predictions it wants. He now froths like a mongrel in heat but getting none.

…the possibility of some hapless Muslim victims of Hindu terrorism, as in Gujarat, or of State terrorism taking to violence in revenge cannot be discounted…The Hindu Right has, ever since its inception, consistently used terror as its major weapon for stirring up Hindu passions so as to cultivate a Hindu vote-bank. This has been particularly the case on the eve of major elections, as is the case today. Because the economic and political agenda of the Hindu Right is clearly antithetical to the interests of the vast majority of Indians, particularly the Dalits, adivasis and backward castes, it has no other means of wooing these sections of society than by stoking anti-Muslim hatred.

He also coins a new term: anti-Muslim hatred. Decipher that. These morons count as “mainstream” experts and “informed” commentators. His foaming is really of no consequence. What matters is how casually he throws around the term Hindu terrorism/terrorist. This term is the gift of the insidious Malegaon Conspiracy.

In reality, the Malegaon Conspiracy is the latest manoeuvre to push Hindus on the defensive yet again. Let’s hope we don’t see folks from Hindu groups writing reams of justification that lingers on familiar lines: we are more secular than you.

The run-up to the 2009 Elections is gaining momentum.
