"Secularists" stoking fire

Swapan Dasgupta is one of few sensible intellectuals in our country. His articles are balanced, and well thought of, unlike those of the "secular" (read anti-Hindu) intellectuals of the country. It is on such sensible thinkers like Swapan that our hopes of Indian intelligentsia guiding the country on the right path of justice, peace, progress and self-respect rest.

The Sunday Pioneer published a good article by Swapan Dasgupta on how the "secular" intellectuals are whipping up Muslim passions against the High Court verdict. Instead of putting end to the dispute, the so-called secularists are stoking fire against a popular and reasonable verdict, which the common man - both Hindu and Muslim alike - has accepted peacefully.

Here is a brief excerpt from the excellent article:

For two days and courtesy some TV channels, the "secular" modernists attempted to whip up Muslim opinion against the judgement and use the community's apparent displeasure to force the Government into using its proverbial 'good offices' with the Supreme Court. The overall idea is to build up an intellectual climate so forceful that the Supreme Court would think it prudent to overturn the HC judgement.
