Tavleen Singh was once married to a pakistani muslim, who was assassinated a couple of years ago. She is an Indian well read journalist and writes with a clear head and vision. Many normal and responsible citizens mistrust the main stream media and have become vocal on the hypocritical and anti india and anti hindu attitudes and writing of the journalist now known by the tiles - pressitude, news traders and arab/US money beggars.
Some excerpts:
"Hindu self-loathing always puzzles me, but last week it left me really confused. On the day that Ayman al-Zawahiri sent us his latest movie announcing an Indian base for the worldwide jihad , most Hindu commentators responded by apologising in different ways. Television reporters went off in search of ordinary Muslims and allowed them to vent their rage against America. Most said the Zawahiri video was a fake. ‘Muslims are not allowed to kill innocent people…Islam is a religion of peace.’ The reporters asked no further questions. On TV chat shows, I was appalled to hear learned commentators describe the jihad as a direct consequence of India’s ‘ill-treatment of Muslims’. And, then came the Congress party’s opinion on the matter. Rahul Gandhi’s mentor, Digvijaya Singh, said that al-Qaeda was only another face of the RSS.
"If in India we continue to ignore what is happening in Allah’s name, not just in Syria and Iraq but in our immediate neighbourhood, then the jihadi dream of ruling India once more will come true. It is time to stop being politically correct, and draw some red lines before it is too late.
"Hindu self-loathing is so boundless that while this new phase of jihadi terrorism has been taking shape, we have spent our time beating ourselves up over the ‘rise of communalism’ since Narendra Modi became Prime Minister. Routinely on evening chat shows, famous anchors have ranted and raved against ‘love jihad’ and against that MP from Gorakhpur who nobody had heard of till yesterday. Every incident of supposed ‘Hindu communalism’ has been magnified and discussed threadbare with some political pundits pronouncing nightly that ‘India as we know it has ceased to exist’.
"The media is unlikely to change its ways in a hurry, so we have no choice but to pin all our hopes on our ‘non-secular’ Prime Minister. He needs to do much more to secure India against jihadi terrorism than his very secular predecessor did. We cannot allow another 26/11.
