Shabana’s House Joke

Whenever I see Javed, I am some how remembered of Nasudreen shah in Sarfarosh. He and his wife talk as if they are the most secular in the country and use their eloquent skills for majority bashing whenever they get a chance. When Kashmir is in turmoil,these remarks by Shabana azmi in devils advocate is truly irresponsible and motivated. For long she was out of media and now she has used her this remarks to get limelight. Otherwise her accusation that she was not able to get a house because she is a Muslim is nothing but comedy. Why will anyone who is selling his property think who is the buyer if offered a right price. Or may be the neighbours might have forced them not to sell to her. In India many houses do not rent houses to bachelors because they are perceived as irresponsible and trouble makers. Though legally it is not allowed, legally it is also the right of the landlord to choose his tenant. Similarly the Muslims in India should make attempts to weed the trouble makers among them rather than adopt the holier than cow crap attitude.

Most of the terrorists all over the world belong to one faith, most smugglers, drug peddlers, and even most of the common criminals belong to the same faith. Why? this is for them to look into themselves and correct the cause and effect. It is because of these unscrupulous elements among them, whom they are not ready to discard for nonsecular consideration, who they are not ready to reform for nonsecular consideration again, which is responsible for the rest to look upon anyone from their faith with suspicion. This is not India specific, it is global phenomenon.

India has always been the most secular in identifying and appreciating any talent. Otherwise how can the just average Khans rule the Bollywood for so long. Salim, Javed, Shabana, Amir, Shahrukh, Salman, Irfan, Dilip Kumar, Kushboo, Farah,Zakir hussain, ghalam ali, saif ali kahan, etc in arts, Three presidents of India- Fahruddin ali ahmed, Zakir Hussain and Abdul Kalam[ the former two’s only credential for the post was their minority status], Cricketers- Patatudi, Azharudin, Zaheer khan, the pathan brothers, syed kirmani chief ministers Ghulam nabi azad, abdullah,Abdul Ghafoor, AR Antulay, etc, Many central ministers, many state ministers, etc etc have all rose to top because of minority appeasing and or India’s secular credentials or perhaps minority bullying. Many private enterprises like Wipro, Hamdarad, etc are headed by Muslims. The list is endless…

MJ Akbar a renowned Journalist once had written – “The Congress used to recognise the need for creating for what might be called artificial political space for Muslims. Mrs Indira Gandhi was far more conscious of this than her father, Jawaharlal Nehru. She always tried to keep a Muslim or two in the Congress mix of Chief Ministers. She gave Bihar its only Muslim Chief Minister, Abdul Ghafoor. Her most daring experiment was to make Abdur Rahman Antulay Chief Minister of Maharashtra in 1980. Antulay underestimated his opposition and overplayed his hand. Maharashtra is not going to get a Muslim Chief Minister again”

These appeased always look for more sops and that is what can be termed minority bullying. Shabana is a very irresponsible talented brat with a vicious intent is what I gather from her Interview. The Sachar committee which she refers is by itself a very controversial and politically motivated document. All it says is Muslims are under represented in Government which need not be because of any discrimination. It may be because they do not aspire for government posts. Why would they when most try to earn quick money by you know what.

They are more than represented in all illegal counts, if they make attempts to reduce it that itself will ensure correct representation of them in all counts. And that is the only way for them to get a respectable place in any society.

Normally I would have cut and pasted the photo of the person i am writing but I do not want to see her face, this time.
