He , the Pujari the priest was disturbed seeing me taking pictures, thoughI was dressed in saffron, times are not conducive for my kind of street photography.
Though I am a private person I find that the few days experince at Sulekha Blogs an Indian site taught me something, people hate Muslims, they consider all Muslims to be Terrorists, everyone who is not a Muslim writes pages on the mindset of the Muslim, the confused Muslim, so much that it bores me to death.
The Muslim is appeased by the Congress says a vitriolic opposition party, this is sheer bullshit, the poor Muslim has barely time to make ends meet, with all his shotrcomings hardly converts to Hinduism or Christianity..
The Congress of old did nothing for the Muslims marginalised them with fear psychosis , sweet talked them , using them as vote banks , ghettosised their minority soul…
I am shocked that Nero watched the telivision as the Babri Mosque was bludgeoned to Death..a State machinery that was also watching the show live .. doing nothing..
I am not into Babri Mosque politics I feel humanity should not suffer for the sins of Babar or the faults of myopic leaders that did what they had to do while we pay for their sins with our lives and those of our neighbors too.
I am not talking about stray cases, the poor Muslim family sends their 5 year old child to learn Embroidery other skills, as an artian or skilled worker can get something to line his stomach while the graduate with a college degree does a menial job of a waiter, the desperate , the crooked, the wretched , this is in all communities take to Crime.. the Muslims need to change their lives , but they dont have the means, the rogue Mullahs and seminaries are feeding him to Hate.
I am a Muslim too, my father was migrant, from Uttar Pradesh Lucknow to be specific, worked his way up, taught us the value of work, he beat us severely, I remember I stole some money from my landlady Akthar Kashmiris purse at Khatua Mansion Wodehouse road my Mom came to know about it, I was 7 or 8 years old , she thrashed me with a rolling pin, made me do sit ups for three hours till I fainted.
It helped , it did not, I cant say, but I did not steal ever again, the wounds ate up my soul,I took to drinks just to remember the beatings get even with her, I never forgave her.. but I think she did what she had to do, but that she loved me the most is no doubt about it.
Yet everyone is not lucky as a Muslim, at Sulekha Blogs they had a certain notion of a Muslim, skull capped, shaved upper lip, an arsehole to boot, I fucked their conception, I was different, the hatchet job was done seamlessly, I have no hurts, I write on all religion, I shall die fighting for what I believe is the Truth.
When Mr Kriubashankar associate director Sulekha Blogs asked me to tone down my language , I told him do you want I only post pictures, if I change my creativity that is a core part of my angst, delete all foul mouthed words does it really help me.. become better more rounded as a human being.
There was an exibition in Mumbai at the Jahangir Art Gallery called Clits Tits and Elephant Dicks, a fucked psychiatrist , strarved of sex, ambled in was shcked at the phallic projectiles, she rushed to the cops, this is the mindset of mature woman, in the land that gave Pornography to the World as a Philosophy as a Science called Kamasutra.
Deepak Chopra is laughing all the way to the bank…Vatsyasana gets just a courtesy line… ha ha
Why Why ..do people want us to be prudes, hypocritically sanctimonious like them..
I dont want to get on that but I hate being targetted because I use F or C words .. but they are part of the vocabulary of my ebullient soul.
I think I realise that Buzznet was never Racial.. or Multicolored, to be able to be a part of this community for almost an year is something that we Indians call two hand clapping.
I detest Indian media, that creates deliberate split in sections of society so that their thrash can sell, the culpabilty of the electronic media that is the new Judiciary by default.
I detest Indian preconception of Muslim.
Yes I hate Hindus and Muslims who think Religion superiority is greater than the Flesh and soul of Man.
Yes I am a Muslim .. born Indian.
Hinduism is and will always remain my cultural inheritance too…
I hence named my Hindu Images gallery Hope and Hindutva.. hope for all…under a sigle flag and a single country.
India is my birthright.
I think God was kind to me to see that I was born here in India.
