In re: MY Hindu community:

Extremists in our Hindu community need to understand that violence against minorities will lead to natural reactions which shall be harmful for our OWN safety, security & livelihoods NOT only in the medium/long run BUT also in the short run.

We need to unite and educationally & economically strengthen our OWN Hindu community with a view to reimagine India as a Hindu version of the UAE where recognition of Hindu preeminence goes hand in hand with the rights of minorities to practice their religions.

I am NOT 'secular' or liberal. Though an atheist, I am a very identity conscious Hindu. However practically we need to keep in mind India’s own demographics as well as the greater relevance of the Islamic world to India's progress before every action or forbearance.
