In his brilliant pieces Mr. Khaldun Bharati is never wanting in courage to voice issues that few would dare raise. And he does that to the chagrin of so many as is obvious from some comments here. Now, in this article, what’s on display is his “audacity of hope” which seems to know no bounds. It’s not that he is just being romantic in his view advanced here. Not at all. He’s too knowledgeable and too intelligent to ignore the reality on the ground. Yet he gives examples from history to prove that this audacity of his isn’t completely without basis. He acknowledges that “alas, we don’t live in a world of poetic idealism. Our collective attitudes are shaped by deeply ingrained religious antipathies and ideological antagonisms.”
As one reads on one realizes how deeply and ruthlessly realistic Mr. Bharati is. Yet he has the audacity to say, magar phir bhi. I salute him. I salute his courage, his perspective and his tremendous sense of history. To have the presence of someone of this calibre amongst us is something that should be celebrated.

Imagine Hindu praying namaaz after celebrating holi
modi ki sarkar ne hame baat diya
Why Hindus should celebrate Mohurram, New year, Christmas etc, Please make an article on it
On a lighter note, should Hindus keep thirty roza fasts as well.
