COMPLACENCY, THY OTHER NAME IS COWARDICE

COMPLACENCY, THY OTHER NAME IS COWARDICE

Pre-Partition complacent Hindus said Partition was an impossibility. Now they say Hinduism will survive till Kingdom come. But where? In the US? Here three segments (Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh) have already been snatched by Islam. Kashmir is gone. Kerala and Assam going. West Bengal following suit. Karnataka and Tamil Nadu like obedient younger brothers traversing the same path. Mumbai troubled. Uttar Pradesh, despite Yogi, a potboiler. How long, O Hindu, with your educated urban women refusing to marry or marrying late and staying off motherhood, will you keep up your demographic dominance against a fast-proliferating Muslim population where women consider their fertility to be their prime possesion that draws them closer to their founder? 

Dream of your Vedic wisdom and your philosophical infallibility like Aldous Huxley's 'wise fools' while the Islamic scriptures take control of your relinquished space and impose the Sharia on you. Cowardice must not masquerade as character neither fantasy fashion reality, for it is a deal done in deathly submission. 

Mark the last word and mark out your funeral pyre, that is, if you are lucky enough to have last rites duly done. Stop your vain imaginings as befits a coward and take to studying the Islamic scriptures to have a realty check which is a clearer conception of your coffin. Then look around and discover the despicable state of this dying race, the Hindus. 

No sentence is irrevocable. So can this death sentence passed by Hindus on themselves be reversed. But that would need living in the real world and fighting, not engaging in futile fanciful thinking and uttering maldigested gibberish. 🕉
