Baba Noordin

Irrational communal forces always existed. If Muslims were so barbaric how come we Hindus are still a majority despite so many years of Muslim rule in India? We also had secular rulers like Akbar. It is high time we took cognizance of the fact that degeneration might occur in any system. Let us seek amends now.
Please do read a story Baba Noordin by Rahul Sankrityayan Ji if you get time. It throws an interesting light on irrational jingoism that persisted even in the earlier centuries. However, India has always moved on. These are troubled times again but we will tide over them. Yes, we can! Thanks Obama for this catchphrase or whatever. We will walk the talk!
