Pakistan shows that the disfigurement of our collective history to create exclusionary imagined communities can leave a bloody imprint for generations.
Kashmir: Exposing the Myth Behind the Narrative (SAGE Publications, 2017), a new book by a former Kashmiri state civil servant, Khalid Bashir Ahmad, challenges what the author calls Kashmir's popular ‘Hindu historiography.’

The India-South Africa series-defining fact is the catastrophic decline of Indian red ball cricket where a visiting team can mock us with the 'grovel' word.
@Hilal Ahmed, i endorse your views, but hindutva forces, as i have understood it, is a pure political movement, which tries to enter our civic domain by using various symbols, by changing the image or to be more precise, photos of gods, by using bhajans and so on to construct a modern hindu identity and to make it more concrete, they play anti-muslim card, and to make their claim acceptable, they are bound to deconstruct the muslim rule in india, to use partition as tool, and many muslim rulers. What is missing in your argument is the complex nature of indian caste system, where religious identity many times is not important. The picture of south indian culture and politics is again a hindrance in their political ways. Their politics cannot sustain in long run, and that is why they talk more about corruption, jobs, economy etc. Their local leaders have taken the command to instigate such issues, and bjp face criticism. The contemporay bjp is occilating between politics of development and politics of identity. The sooner it realize the essence of our multicultural democracy, the problem of unemployment, price rise and so on, the better of it, but again impossible for bjp to take a stand by leaving its ideology and its legacy behind.
I think every sane Indian should try to vehemently counter the insanity that the present dispensation is trying to instill in the minds of the common man on the street. Every available communication portal should be availed of. The spread of hatred and disharmony should be stopped at all cost.
