WHERE ARE WE GOING

More out of pain than shame, I am writing this. The incident also bring in to focus, the perilous field the journalists in India are operating and the amount of death threats they may be facing everyday. To counter such threats, the only way is public opinion against such things.

The incident happened when I was trying to take out my car in the afternoon; to go out of the house to escape the smoke coming from the open air cooking in the nearby mosque. My complaints for the last three years never elicited any action from any of the civic administration bodies, as there is hardly any civic administration in the city. But today I could not run away from my home as usual, as a load carrying type auto rickshaw no. AP 9 U4273 was blocking my exit. Half the lane was occupied by the mutton washing vessels and workers and to one of them I requested to ask the driver who went in to the mosque to move the vehicle. What happened next was the appearance of one the son of the Imam of the mosque, along with a group of Muslims from the mosque. The Imams son started abusing me in the dirtiest language I had ever heard, in presence of my family. In addition to the death threats the Imam's son referred to the genital organ of my mother, and declared that he and other Muslims will fuck all the Hindu ladies of India. It looks like I was responsible for some photograph of their gate where they wash the mutton and this was published in Enadu, which I was not aware. He also declared that I can go and complain to anybody, but my car exit will remain blocked. Such venom and dirt coming from the mouth of a Muslim standing at the gate of a mosque, can never happen in any Muslim country or even in Pakistan. We have no administration to complain to, and even if we do, it will only add fuel to the fire. I want to ask you public one question, where are we going?
