Making your 'dream wedding' possible
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Marathas have never been Goans. While the Goan has a history of being passive
and peace-loving, the Maratha has a history of being a warrior clan. One reason
Maharashtra fell to the British was because bands of Maratha thugs used to
routinely go around raping, pillaging and destroying villages. It was almost a
relief to have the British render some peace. Marathas have for centuries eyed
Goa and now they seek to destroy it through these divisive means.
I cannot even muster contempt for human beings who would plant bombs to wound,
maim and kill innocent, hapless children. They are beyond contempt. I only hope
Goan Hindus realise now that they are fanning the flames of a forest-fire when
they begin to play with matches of communalism.
Having said that, if Digu doesn't ban these groups, if India itself doesn't act
decisively everytime we see communalism rear its ugly head, then it really is
all over for India. We are on the threshold of becoming another bastion of
terrorism, now that these groups have weaponised. Bombings will become just
another thing we Indians will learn to live with, just like the spitting and
the slums.
Best,
selma
