Bigotry of Srinavasa Sarma
While reading the interview of Dr Zarni, I came across
some insensitive comments made by someone named Srinivasa Sarma. He says that
Rohingyas are to be blamed for their trouble: they are not integrated within
Myanmar.
The
bigotry of Srinivasa Sarma is so obvious from his posting. He is willing to
justify crimes against the Rohingyas. It does not matter if the victims genuinely
deserve not only our sympathy but also actions to ease their pains. The hatred
spewed by HIndutvadi fascists is nothing new, esp. with Modi in power these
days in India where Muslims are lynched on mere suspicion of keeping or eating
beef.
No
wonder that Modi was supportive of genocidal crimes of the Tadmadaw (long known
as the rapist army)! With his own hands bloodied against the Kashmiri Muslims,
we surely did not expect a transformation in Modi, and he has not surprised us
with his statement in Myanmar when meeting Suu Kyi.
What we ought to know is
that religio-fascists like Modi did not come to power in vacuum. They had the
critical support from their die-hard saffron-brigades of Bajrang Dal, RSS and
Sangh Parivar within India.
One
can only loathe such hatred spewed by bigots like Sarma. I am not sure if he
understands the meaning of integration. Integration does not require a crow to
behave like a peacock in the presence of other peacocks or vice-versa. It retains its
identity without feeling threatened. Unfortunately, in today's India, with all
the reports of lynching it is quite obvious that non-Hindus are forced to
behave, act and eat like Hindus failing which they are lynched for being
different than the majority Hindus.
What India is going through is surely not
integration where diversity reigns, but the dawning of Hindutvadi fascism.
Kapish?
