Deafening silence from "secular" Sanghvi and "secular" Shekhar

Now that state after state has been banning the Da Vinci code movie, its been very quiet from the "secular" megaphones Sanghvi of HT and Gupta of IE. None of the finger in your face belligerent posturing and the preservation of "artistic freedom", that was brandished in the MF Hussain case. After all in "secular" India what is good for Ram is not so for Robert and Rahim. But on the other hand muslim fundamentalist Amir Khan is given plenty of airtime by the IE which incidentally has no time to report the terrorist killing of BJP workers in a rally. In all probability IE has got a reporter posted in Amir Khans house should the actor have anything new to spew at any given time. And of course everbody from the clerk who poses as a PM Manmohan Singh, to the Hollywood ji-Huzoors of the likes of Hritik Roshan who thrive on Muslim underworlds goodwill, have criticized the boycott of Fanaa by the Gujarati theater owners association, while something as revulsive as govt bans on the Da Vinci code is not even noticed. All classic "secular" India in action for you.

Vir Sanghvi shows why he is a "secular" heavyweight

As I started reading Sanghvi's latest editorial on the foiled terrorist attack at the RSS headquarters, to start with I was quite pleased with the tone of the article that when it came to national interest, maybe just maybe Sanghvi does not differentiate who the potential victims might have been, be it the much hated "communal" RSS or treasured minorities like Imam Bukhari. But then since he has to keep his "secular" credentials impeccable Sanghvi of course could not just criticize the terrorists.Cmon now guys! So he does his usual "secular" balancing act with the added line saying "The RSS, its philosophy and role in fanning communal flames in India are well known, but in a democratic polity we do not fight fire with fire." This is a very interesting sentence. Think about it, how in the world do Lashkar terrorists become a part of India's democratic polity?? Sanghvi seems to suggest that when Indian muslims feel threatened, it is but natural for their terrorist Ummah from across the border to step in. True to his typical brainwashed "secular" self, Sanghvi is also suggesting that "communal" Hindus are the ones to be blamed as always, as they anger the sensitive feelings of muslims and its only natural that angry muslims in turn butcher them in return. But handling the communal RSS is best left to the likes of "secular" Gestapo like Sanghvi and the Lashkar terror scum can rest safely with that comforting thought. After all Lashkar is part of the same domestic polity as Sanghvi's, in his own words. Leave the Sanghi types to us, the Sanghvi's and the Shekhar Guptas assure the Pakistanis with a wink and a nod.
