“Madam, aap mahammedan ho?” (Madam, you are a Muslim?)
“Haan”, I said, “Aapko keise pata chala?” (Yes, how do you know?)
I was more scared than surprised.
“Aapke naam ki chithi aati he 2047 par.” (You get letters at the address 2047.)
So they have already registered my identity in their private memories. In case there is a riot…………
I checked myself from portending further doom.
But it was how they killed the Muslims in Gujrat. By marking the Muslim names from telephone directories. How can we be so sure that such a thing will not happen in Delhi. I know I am getting paranoid. But I also know that a lot of others are also paranoid. They are scared to their deaths of their impending murders. Anything can happen anytime.

Hello Syeda Semim Zahan,
This is how hindu fundamentalists (synonym RSS) work. You are asked with such questions because they really believe in discrimination and bigotry. India is carrying so many ‘Gujrat’ stigmas on her face. Shiv Sena, Bajrang Dal, Ranvir Sena, Ram Sena, Bhartiya Janta Party etc are such parties who are fed by RSS. Whosoever is familiar with the hidden agenda of RSS can well imagine how orthodox and unlawfully they think in this democratic nation. For them, democracy or constitution is nothing because they firmly believe in ‘varna vayvastha’ whereas formal paves the way for every citizen to be treated equally with no unfairness at all. Thinking only upper caste hindus have right to stay in India and if dalits’ issue, they have to live like as Vedas have directed them to live. Their all moves are inspired by this communal ideology. I have to say Congress is also not exception.
All minorities have to have a long-time approach, not revengeful but coming generations should feel themselves secure. Of course, purpose cannot be solved with having one or two political options to choose from but it requires a good enough representation in parliament. Democracy is a powerful tool to make this place livable for all. People like you have to take charge to bring positive changes. Sufferers’ laws usually serve without any prejudice. And nothing will be deciphered looking at RSS or Congress. They are the cheaps of the same block. What next is what minorities/dalits will decide.
Mr Singh=-Pointing fingers towards a particular religion is unacceptable.No religion tells to live like what they written in the religious books.Only coming together will solve this problem instead isolation.
