Till Aug 12, both the USA and the UK were secular in the eyes of the non-BJP political parties of India as they had boycotted Narendra Modi for the Gujarat riots of 2002. From Aug 13, the UK, for these parties has become communal because both the two main political parties of that country have invited NAMO to come there to address the local parliamentarians. Very soon he is going to Thailand and that country will also be dubbed as communal. Will these parties call Omar Abdullah a communalist for the latest Kishtbar riot? We are sure, if the NDA did better in the impending parliamentary election, even the USA will unroll red carpet for NAMO. Not only that, even some political parties, abusing him as a communalist will kowtow to him to jump on the NDA bandwagon. Except Communists and Congress, all other political parties with the then Jan Sangh were together in the Morarji Bhai Desai cabinet. After that pure secularists like Farooq Abdullah, Nitish Kumar and Ram Vilas Paswan were very much in the Vajpayee cabinet even when Gujarat riots had taken place. Nitish was in the NDA for 17 years after which he suddenly decided to be secular. He does not know that there are several other aspirants for the minority votes for which he has taken the risk.

In the list of disturbed Muslim majority countries, the latest entry is of Nigeria, a major North African Country. Nigeria has a population of 1,500 million, equally divided between the Muslims and Christians. In the Muslim society, there is an orthodox extremist cult, known as the Boko Haram. They are demanding that the country should have a Caliphate system of governance. To press this, they exploded a bomb in a mosque on Aug 13, killing 44 faithfuls. They did so to to punish the clerics who are critical of this cult. We further know that they are simultaneously also attacking the Christians to chase them away from Nigeria. Innocent people are being butchered daily. Who will make them to eschew this demonic mischief?

Today I read in a newspaper that some 370 people die annually in road accidents in India. Since 2011, some 4,500 people have lost their costly life on road. By and large most of these accidents including incidents of road rage are man-made. In a large number of them, the foolish speed driving is the devil. Such drivers are dare-devil who do not care for their own life and family. What others can expect from them? Remain patient and cool on road, by any transport or on foot to guard against such pathetic and avoidable deaths.
