To uphold the primacy of the Constitution — which says very clearly that all religions will be considered equal in India — we need to look at the country as a Hindu goddess Wow again!And we thought killing Muslims, Christians and dalits at the slightest provocation was disrespecting the Constitution that guarantees equality irrespective of religion, caste or gender. “Bharat Mata ki Jai!”The writer is editor of The Little Magazine.” video ends with “Love my country, or leave!”
At the BJP’s two-day national executive meeting over the weekend, BJP president Amit Shah declared that they would not tolerate criticism of the country.Admit it. Can’t remember Maybe never, you say I rest my case. That was a rather plain Jane vaishnavi type saffron-clad woman with four arms.We were clearly wrong. You have been disrespecting the Constitution all your life. No one except the bully enjoys the “Nach Basanti!” number. Pardon You are not a Muslim Thank god! Then what on earth is your problem Oh, you don’t want to be forced.Which reminds me, have you got the video doing the rounds about Vande Mataram Pretty scary stuff, huh Some grim-faced guys and girls advance menacingly towards you brandishing the national flag, clenching their fists and warning, “Hindustan mei rahna hai toh Vande Mataram kehna hoga! (If you want to live in Hindustan you must say Vande Mataram!)” It goes on in that vein for more than three minutes. The “Hindustan mei rahna hai.

Anyway, I think I can understand that. She can be contacted at: sen@littlemag. Just utter the magic mantra and you are safe. No hills and valleys. From our own state to the whole world. Quick, repeat after me: “Bharat Mata ki Jai”. Can’t remember Maybe never, you say I rest my case. So better get down to it. For I am a Bengali, and we started it all.
