Hi In today’s Hindu I read Mullappally’s press statement that Maudani’s allegations were baseless. He also added ‘If maudani is truly innocent, he has nothing to fear’. Reading both these statements together I doubted the minister’s conviction. I exclaimed to my roommate that if the minister’s first statement comes from conviction he doesn’t have to add the second one. The second one nullifies the first claim that Maudani’s allegations are baseless. My friend was angry. He said he hates Maudani. I asked him why. I asked him if he knows Maudani. I asked him if he read Maudani. I asked him if he has seen his interviews. The answer was NO. Then why on the earth you hate him, I asked. He said he is a bad man and that’s it. He knew it, though he didn’t know from where. I have also been reading Kamala Surayya’s writing called ‘the uses of gun in literature’ in ‘Unmadam’ a Malayalam anthology. In that she says (Reproduced from Soorya TV) that she believes in terrorism. She says all the corrupt politicians should be shot. She also adds that she keeps a gun. Now if that book is found in a terrorist’s room would they charge her? Or ban the book? I also thought of Thogadias and Modis and Shree ram senas. I also thought of the media not addressing the Malgaon blast suspects as terrorists. The adjectives used for them were very respectful. May be Kamala Surayya recognized this in her literary provocation that a terrorist can only be a Muslim. Why my roommate hates Maudani with whom he had no context at all, when he doesn’t hate ‘Satyananda Saraswati’ or any other Hindu extremists? Why is it that people are scared to talk for Maudani? Isn’t it because he is Muslim and he is upfront about his Islamist politics? The left front has disowned Maudani after elections. Obviously he is the bad Muslim to be disciplined, but now who will own him? I remember, that much quoted poem (and I remember this often) when they came for communists....
