By telling the story through the lives of people who lost loved ones, through the lives of lawyers, saints, and rebels, Sarna weaves a tapestry to show how many threads were summarily burned away in that shooting.
Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs fought and died together for India’s independence
The RSS-BJP rulers of India declare India to be a battle-ground between Hinduism and Islam. Muslims have been declared as ‘Internal Threat’ number ONE [RSS ideologue, MS Golwalkar’s
Bunch of Thought chapter xvi]. Many of their leading cadres including those who hold high constitutional posts have been conspiring over-time to ignite a civil war between the two communities (they believe that only such a scenario would divert attention from the anti-people rule by the Hindutva gang). They refuse to treat Muslims as part of the Indian nation, which according to them is a Hindu nation. They have no hesitation in identifying themselves as ‘Hindu nationalists’.
