First They Came For The Muslims

First they came for the Muslims and you didn't speak out because you were not a Muslim and you thought they were all terrorists.

Then they came for the Christians and Dalits and you didn't speak out because you were not a Christian or a Dalit and you thought they were all Vaticanis.

Then they came for the left wingers and you did not speak out because you were not a left winger and you thought they were all traitors.

Then they came for your food habits and your gods and your dress and your language, and you tried to protest that this wasn't what Indian culture was about.

But by then there was no India left to protect you.

  1. But, but...

    I studied India in geography class, that the Hindoo is a strict pacifist (that's why it was so easy for the Muslims to colonise India, and why it was so easy for the British to replace the corrupt Moguls with honest British Governor-generals that taught the Hindoo savages about the rule of law and built them rail lines and generally made India the nation it is today).

    Surely my geography teachers couldn't have been completely wrong (well, they did have India sticking into the Indian Ocean, and it still seems to be there).

  2. Bill,
    Good one. It fits with the link I sent you earlier about India and your "pal" Modi.
