RELEGIOUS TOLERANCE AT ITS PEAK

Turn on the tv and u can see all the news channels playing the most disgraceful video of taslima nasreen being attacked by a bunch of hooligans.
Where is India heading to? We have seen 60 years of independence but is this all we can pride ourselves on. India is supposed to be a secular country wer all ppl enjoy freedom of speech, as long as it doesn’t hurt religious sentiments. Lets go on a nostalgic trip. Right after independence india was being torn into two in the name of partition. Now india is secular supporting all relegions. But can’t we see that religious tolerance is only among a class of ppl.
When a student of baroda sketched nude goddesses his act was condemned by the allegedly extremist hindu outfits of kar sevaks and shiv senaiites. It is only natural of any hindu to condemn the act and no fault can be found in this. But the fact that the college principal sided with the student is very much unwarranted. In turn the blame was put on the protesters saying that they were not tolerant enough(please note this).
And there is our M.F.Hussain who is so (in)famous for his representation of hindu deities in his nude canvases. His art is to be appreciated but not at the cost of other religion’s subjects hurting theor sentiments. But again the bottom line is that hindus are not tolerant enough(please note this too).
Lets take now the case of the dutch cartoonist who made a mockery of the prophet. very condemnable indeed. And it was followed by wat muslim nations are best at--- religious FATWAS. So be it. But their act is always warranted and wy aren’t they considered intolerant??
Also taslima and salman rushdie’s case they were threatened to death if their views were not regretted. And they fled. All muslim nations issue FATWAS at their will. As if it is a passport. They aren’t so tolerant afterall.
And Christians. Take the case of the DA vinci code. The film was not allowed to be screened in india unless Sony pictures carried a disclaimer stating that this work is purely fictitious.all this from the ppl of a religion who are considered very tolerant.
But all said and done hindu mythology is tampered with and hindu deities portrayed in all ill health in movies. When hindus protest it is a mark of intolerance. Wy should we be taken for granted.
Wy this double talk?
I do not mean to kindle religious tension but it sure requires some thinking. And it is high time filmmakers stop showing hindus in wrong light and muslims as terrorists always.
