So a masjid was destroyed by Hindu boy(s) in Sadashivgad, Karwar some weeks ago now. Few kilometers from my where I stay. Hindu boy who allegedly confessed to his crime and was arrested, is currently out on bail. That's not all. Group of Hindus today had a meeting in Kanasgiri (?) - they want to bring here Hindu Jagriti Vedike and likes (the kind of Hindu organizations that spread the seeds of division between Hindus and Muslims eventually leading to riots). I have been speaking about this to my friends here and telling them of the ills of such moves. Today I stopped my neighbor walking to his home and asked him where he had been, he told me about this meeting. He mentioned the old prop about the need for Hindus to unite forgetting all castes so they could fight the Muslims. I asked him where was the need for Hindus to do anything and such meetings? What was he saying? That Hindus break Masjids? He didn't answer. I reminded him that it was Hindus that had broken the masjid, Muslims haven't touched Hindu temples, not even in retaliation. He murmured about future, Shivamogga etc. I told him Shivamogga, Mangalore are the places where Hindu Jagriti Vedike, Bajrang Dal etc have their footprints, how wherever these outfits traveled, social relations break into worse, how riots and such things happen. Reminded him how they were inviting trouble into here where we have never seen any Hindu-Muslim trouble. Never. He started grumbling about Muslim population exploding etc etc - I told him those were lies but you know, there's no point to this arguing. He has his head filled already with hate and venom. His mind is no more capable of processing rational argument. There brains never are. I fear for our future now. Everyone of us who have lived side by side for all time that I can think about. Hindutva virus is only spreading and it seems is finally here too.
P. S. Had this conversation and wrote above week after incident. It's over a month when I'm posting it now.

कहीं किसीने लिखा कि लोग काम-धाम छोड़कर नफ़रत फ़ैलाने में व्यस्त हैं। पर भाईसाहब! सच ये है कि कहीं काम ही नहीं है.. ये नल्ले बेरोज़गार है जो मुसलमानो के सामने जाके नारेबाजी करते हैं, उन्हें उकसाने की कोशिश करते हैं क्योंकि उन्हें पता है की जब मुसलमान ज़वाब देने की हिमाकत करेंगे तो हिन्दू पुलिस उनके खिलाफ कार्रवाई करेगी। मैं हैरान हूँ मुसलमानों की नेकी और संयम से। मेरे यहाँ कुछ हफ्तों पहले एक मस्जिद पे हमला किया गया, और कल एक दूसरी मस्जिद के सामने नारेबाजी! कल जब रमजान का पहला दिन था और सब ने रोज़े रक्खे हुए थे, कल। पर मुसलमानों ने अपना संयम बरकरार रखा। और इन्ह नारेबाजी करने वालों को उकसाने वाले अपने घर पर मस्त थे.. बोल रहे है कि हिंदू सब को एक होना है? क्या मतलब है इसका? एक होना क्या होता है? बोल रहे हैं कि हमे जाती भेद को भुलाना है? क्या ऊंची जाती के लोग दूसरी जाति में अपनी बेटियों को ब्याहने में आज से राजी हो जाएंगे? क्या मंदिरों में कोई भी जाती का पुजारी नियुक्त कर लिया जाएगा? नहीं ना? तो कौनसी एकता की बात कर रहे हैं महाशय लोग? यही निर्लज्ज एकता की बात गुजरात 2002 दंगों से पहले भी की गयी थी, दलितों को हिन्दू धर्म में शामिल करने का मोह दिलाकर उनके हाथो में हथियार और बम दिए गए थे। सब ने मिलकर खूब हत्या और मुसलमानों की सम्पत्तियों का नाश किया। सब ने मिलकर - एकता से। पर जेल में आजतक जो सड़ रहे हैं, वो सिर्फ दलित-बहुजन है। मुसलमानो के खिलाफ़ हिंसा और ये हिन्दू एकता का ढोंग आप सब को एक मत में आरएसएस-भाजपा को वोट दिलाने के लिए है। इससे आप सभी का ना इससे पहले कभी भला हुआ है ना इसके बाद होगा।
मैंने बचपन से आजतक यहाँ ना कभी हिन्दू-मुस्लिम दंगे और झगड़े सुने ना देखे। जब कि यहाँ मंदिर मस्जिद सब आमने सामने है, कितने हिन्दू मुस्लिम घर भी एक दूसरे के बगल में है। पर आजतक कुछ नहीं हुआ। और आज हिन्दुओं को एकता चाहिए? और किस लिए और क्यों? आपने एक मस्जिद को नुकसान पहुंचाया तो लाज़िम था कि आप तबियत से जाके माफ़ी माँगते और नुकसान की भरपाई करते। पर नहीं। आप हिन्दू एकता की बात करने लगे हैं! जहां झगड़ा नहीं था, जहाँ अमन था वहाँ फिरकापरस्ती को लाने में क्यों आमादा हो रहे है ये लोग? चुनाव जीतने के और भी तरीके हैं, बार बार इसी तरीके का चुनाव क्यों करते है भाजपा वाले?
और क्या हिन्दू दिमाग इतने ज़हर से भरा हुआ है? आरएसएस-भाजपा वाले आपका ईस्तेमाल कर रहे है ये आपको दिख नहीं रहा है? या आप देखना ही नहीं चाहते हैं?
