India has no right to denounce Taliban

by AAMIR SAYED

I am indeed appalled by the shameless rhetorics of the Indian leaders like
Jaswant Singh and Vajpayee against the Talibans decision to destroy the
statues of Buddha. Without justifying the Taliban move, we, as Indian
Muslims, are at once reminded of that black day of Dec. 6, 1992 when Babri
Masjid a five hundred centuries old place of worship, was demolished in
broad daylight by these same people and their ilk fully backed by the
government of the day as well as the protectors of law - the police and
the armed forces.

I question what right has India got to condemn the Taliban when it itself
has committed a crime greater than that of the Taliban. Babri Masjid was
an active mosque for centuries compared to the lifeless statues of Buddha
in Bamiyan.

200 millions of Indian Muslims were attached to the Babri Masjid while
ther is not a single Buddhist inhabitant in Afghanistan. Thousands of
members of minority communities were systematically killed in India
compared to not a single reported attack on any minority member in
Afghanistan.

Wasn't the demolition of Babri Masjid a regression into medieval
barbarism? Wasnt the systematic killings of members of minority
communities a sacrilege to humanity?. Isnt it India that first qualifies
for such terminologies used against the Taliban by Mr. Jaswant Singh?

Lastly, the Associated Press reported on Feb 28 there are no Buddhists
living in Afghanistan. Other than Muslims there are only Hindus and Sikhs
and Muttawakil promised their temples would be protected. There also is
one elderly Jewish rabbi, who stays in Kabul to protect a synagogue, which
is a small house in the center of the city. The Taliban have not prevented
him from practicing his religion. And believe it thats an assurance coming
from what is described as an extremist, fundamentalist and fanatical
regime.

While ironically India, so-considered as a great secular, democratic
regime has practically failed to guarantee on any of these counts. Besides
the demolition of Babri Masjid should the international community also
forget, burning alive of Graham Staines, torching of churches and rampant
discrimination against the lower castes?
