How Intolerant are we really?
Of late there is a lot of noise going on in media about raising
intolerance in India. Lot of bashing
from 'celebrities' (குண்டூசி விக்கிறவன், புண்ணாக்கு விக்கிறவன் எல்லாம் செலிப்ரிட்டி), #Awardwapsi
stunts, lectures on tolerance from #AamirKhan,
countered by #AppWapsi and Anupham Kher. I started wondering
if we are really intolerant and the answer is NO.
·
When we tolerate Jaya's response to Chennai floods (#Jayafails)
·
When we tolerate flood waters entering our living room
·
When we tolerate people dying at hands of negligent govt officials
(#Velachery)
·
When we tolerate Kejriwal joining hands with Lalu
·
When we tolerate #Pappu pushing democracy deeper in to our country
We are indeed very tolerant. Sometimes, too tolerant that we look
stupid to the eyes of many 'tolerant' people. Seriously people have too much to
worry rather than being intolerant towards minorities.
All the media #Presstitutes keep propagating this absurd campaign
ever since #Modi has taken charge.
A request to all the tolerant, intellectual people who lecture us
on Intolerance: Please do not provoke the really tolerant people, for one
can only be so much tolerant.
