Dear Mr. Modi and your facist brethren,

I write this letter, first, as a concerned Hindu and then an Indian. But, I am pained to say that you are the biggest enemy to my faith. Sometimes, I wonder if you are a devious design of some evil mind determined to wipe out this sacred religion from my motherland.

Probably, your knowledge of Hindu mythology is poor and so is your knowledge of world history. Revenge, as the Gita says, is the purest human emotion. The most naked of human emotions are triggered when the heart is wounded and the fire of revenge is only extinguished only after an evil of similar or greater measure is done on the forces which cradled the fire of revenge.

I do not fear the Maulanas in the far hills of Kashmir or the bearded gun trotting Muslim in the barren plains of Afghan. I fear the Zameer Khan and Shabnam Shaikh who stays next door to me. I do not fear them for the proximity but am helpless if I have to answer them. The Maulana preaches the radical version of his faith so that even the neighboring village’s Amjad Khan attends his sermon. A la Ramdev attempt at attention seeking! The gunmen in Afghan picked up the gun because he really didn’t know any better means to raise his family.

But my neighbor has seen his sister being raped by the saffron robbed warriors, His sole bread earning son being slaughtered to death. In his eyes, the tears of grief are still alive. The lump in his throat swells with every mention of his son and so does his anger with every mention of your name. Now, Jihad attracts him. The same clergy whom he found ridiculous from the last 40 years has suddenly given meaning to his life in the last 40 years. When 4 years ago, he was told there was a need for an Islamic land, he joked “Are sirf Muslim log honge, to Diwali ko phatake kaise phodenge!”. In every Hindu, he sees a Modi now.

There are so many Zameers and Shabnams in every corner of India who once were Indian muslims. As they say, adversity brings even enemies together. Your deeds brought the Arab Muslim closer to the Indian Musilm. Sir,please stop the Hinduisation of this country any further. I want my Zameer back.

A Hindu.
