hi that was not a piece written/analysed by me. i forwrded one piece. however, it wont take so much time for a person living in delhi to understand the inherent anti-muslim sentiments looming large in the minst of people (esp Hindus) while searching for a job, rented house dalits and muslims always face the wrath of caste HIndus.. ur whole existence is questioned by these modern morons who live in the world of caste/religious prejudices
yea we have provided them with areas specifically to place them .. perhaps enjoyed and hegemnised by them also... we all enjoy ghettoised hegemonies.(?!!) and moreover, i dont think people here in greenyouth make virtual vigils only after making "serious" analyses. it's abloggy piece and i feel it initiates one into such a process of analysis. one can attempt and come up with better "secular" analysis too regards On 07/04/2008, Bobby Kunhu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Dear Ranjit > Ghetooised Muslim Communities is a study by itsefl.
