Prasad regularly maintains the air conditioner at home. Every three months he calls, me says yes and he is at home like he did the other day. A huge red tilak covers his forehead. After a glass of water, he said: India-Pakistan match fixed tha, saab. O Kohli theek nahin hai.' He did not have any evidence; India is busy erasing evidence. Working on the machine, he asked whether me housing society has any Muslims. Me said no. They are out. He added: Theek nahin hai. Asked him: Humlog theek hain? He smiled, got busy with his work. Yes the BJP government has seeded minority hatred for a sure victory in 2019. Hatred grows faster than grass. Like it or not we do not want Muslims and Dalits and poor. Better they go. The famed 2002 Gujarat model is being applied to India. What should me do? Do not have the courage to stand up. Every morning The Indian Express, wire.in, scroll.in, Ravish Kumar write of an open hatred, flaunting of a strong dislike, waving flags: 1947, 1984, 1992, 2002 and now 2017. Today Pratap Bhanu Mehta in The Indian Express writes: 'May the silent be damned; Evil is wearing down protest. The new wave of lynchings represents a new benchmark in Indian politics. Junaid Khan, Mohammad Akhlaq, Pehlu Khan, Zahid Rasool Bhat, Abu Hanifa, Riazuddin Ali, Zafar Hussain, Ayub Pandit, the list can go on, will tragically go on, in a republic whose only near certain headline these days is a lynching.....Narendra Modi may loudly proclaim that he is defending our borders. But his cowardly silences, or abstract gestures, are emboldening the barbarians within.' The newspaper in a first edit, Junaid's Murder says: '......The party that dominates the Centre and rules a growing number of states in India must ask itself if, despite its several electoral successes, it can call itself a victor if the very polity it presides over is hollowed of its richness, if it can no longer boast of being a safe house for minorities.' India is safe for bhakts alone. Begum Jaan of Vidya Balan is a movie for out hate times. She and a few women live in a koti and the Radcliffe Commission line dividing India and Pakistan runs through the koti. Vidya Balan is upset, taps bells and drums, to save her women in a koti without caste, creed, religion .... it has women abused by men... Vidya Balan says women have no freedoms. Is the 1947 Partition being played out again? Today me do not know Pratap Bhanu Mehta. Or rather me is Hell damned.
