Sharon’s Legacy

sadna, YLH agreed with something you said. Break out the champagne girl :)))

So ... basically what you are speaking off is prejudice against local Indian Muslims ... and not Arab Muslims who you Indians are fascinated by and in awe of? Is it because the Arabs are ``gora`` and fit with your Indo-germanic notions of superiority?

#50
That`s unfair. We hate Arabs as well, we just love their petrodollars!

Further to # 47

As a matter of fact, Israel is the ONLY nation in the whole wide world that has been condemned by world community that it makes a Guiness Book world record. So despite that if an individual thinks that somehow situtaion in Palestine is Palestinian and Arab fault then it is pure anti-Muslim bias and hatered:

Please note that this list only shows the resolutions against Israel until 1995. The list griows much larger if you include the resolutions passed between 1995-2005/6

P-Mishra,

Sir I absolutely agree with you...

And just for that one must revisit the case of Graham Stainnes and his two sons... who were burnt alive by Hindu extremists in a most brutish fashion.

Why?

They were Australian Christians in India.

Haha… Israel is a real source of keeping Pakis busy. That’s not a bad thing.

Can someone post some stats on how many Muslims have been killed/Displaced by Muslims?

#53 Mantolives

Really, you agree with me? Yet you are ONLY interested in crimes in india that fit your sectarian agenda? what kind of clown are you?

If you had any real interest in reducing crime and violence in india, you would manifest it very differently. As I said, it takes a special kind of ultra-sick person who exalts suffering of one class of people over other people. You seem to be such a person.

And they couldn`t have done it without you and your tax $$...and for that, i`m sure, they`re eternally grateful...

#38 by Mantolives on January 13, 2006 7:36am PT


No one claims that the Pakistan army was blameless...


So Sarmila Bose`s research notwithstanding, the point still stands..The Pakistani army has killed 10 times as many muslims as have died in India..a crime for which no paki army officer has been prosecuted...

#54, Kulharee {``Can someone post some stats on how many Muslims have been killed/Displaced by Muslims? ``}

Kulharee Payee,
Not that many. I knew this one Bihari Muslim dude who was displaced from his house by this Pathan dude for not paying his debt on time. OK, there was this Lahori lady in Karachi who was kicked out by the MQM goonDas from her rented house in Golimar for emulating Hira Mandi in a residential area. That`s the extent of it.

#49, Burpy Under {``sadna, YLH agreed with something you said. Break out the champagne girl :)))

Burpy Under,
It`s not nice to abuse Sadna like that. You are being condescending and sexually harassing when you refer to her as a ``champagne girl.`` Please apologize to the nice lady.

There is no point in asking the weakminded to ponder whether my listing anti-Muslim prejudice necessarily implies that I subscribe to such prejudice.

And no it has nothing to do with the color of Arab skin(unlike the case in Pakistan). Indians are primarily anti-colonial in impulse and suspicious of violations of sovereignty. Iraq`s sovereignty has been gratituously violated and Indians are strongly opposed to that across religious lines. The Palestinians still get Indian sympathy for similar reasons.

But as distinct from people being dispossessed and demanding their rights are people self-professedly pursing `Islamic` causes, who have begun to be associated with a certain obduracy with or without good reason. One simple example was that Hindu organizations involved in Ram temple had, in negotiations prior to the demolition offered to shift the Babri Masjid brick by brick and build it up a few miles away. Muslim organizations involved in those negotiations refused. Subsequently the situation went from being negotiable to being one of battling for supremacy -in other words, totally intractable for any multi-religious society. A prolonged exposure to Pakistani jihad has also given Indians a taste of its ideology of total victory at any cost. So now when those self-professedly espousing an `Islamic` cause say they are looking for ``compromise``, they have little public credibility.

But I believe the Arabs themselves now see the Palestinian issue in less black and white terms than Pakistanis do.

#33 Kulharee,

This article is about Sharon and Palestinians (not necessarily Muslims). My comment was on `war crimes`, something where a broad consensus is possible.

As far as Tikka Khan, Zia, Rajiv Gandhi, IGP Gill etc. are concerned, I am sure we will have more to say about them over time here in chowk. I remember talking about Modi in some other board.

#36 kaal.

I agree with you in general. However, I think many Indians and Pakistanis are making their decisions based on scarce or one sided information. Think of it for a moment...the TV picture of a Palestinian is either a wailing mother or a gun weilding gentleman with a hood. A clear association is then induced on people who do not have time to reflect: Palestinian is equivalent to a terrorist. My reading of history and my interaction with both Israelis and Palestinians do not allow me to make that association. My personal experience induces a feeling of awe when I see a young Palestinian throwing a stone at an Israeli tank. I cannot forget the face of the father sheilding his child from Israeli army bullets, both dying in the process. I am amazed at the life of a very prominent academic in my field of work. I cannot associate with the bombastic Hamas. I associate with Israelis refusing to join the army, or Israeli armymen refusing to bulldoze houses in Gaza. I associate with my Israeli colleagues, with pro or anti Sharon stands, with whom I can have a dialogue and who do not distort or colour the past based on their respective points of view. I believe that it is this last fact which will bring about a solution to the conflict much before `we` have peace in Kashmir.

indian state support for palestinian people has been concrete, palestinians were offered scholarships in every acedemic inst. including the IITs. What did pakistan state do for them except bomb them?

Younger people may not remember but Arafat was always treated like a head of state when he visited Indian. He got a place of prominence at NAM meetings and there was alwyas a lot of hugging-shugging and declaration of mutual love and affection between Arafat and Indira G*ndhi.

All this when the western world considered Arafat a terrorist.

What did India get out of it: Zilch, Nada

(btw: why is G*ndhi an objectionable word?)

One day of Indian common sense cooperation with Israeli`s does more to enhance safety and security for common Indians than a decade of kissing-hugging of the Palestinians.
