Bravo!

The writer has excellent advice for BJP, Hindus and Muslims. A very well-written article that presents very balanced views without seeming to place the blame squarely on any one group's shoulders. We need more like this!

Sajid Bhombal on the fight against communalism

For too long the Muslim elite and those who have a voice have remained indifferent to the fate of the community, leaving the poor to find refuge in vote bank politics. They must now stand up and be counted. And they can do so only if they reclaim their right to represent their religion from the bigots who, it seems, are acting as the sole custodians of Islam.

In short, both Hindus and Muslims should get their basics right. Communalism only feeds communalism. India has to fight communalism -- whether Hindu or Muslim. Failure to do so will destroy the very concept of India.
