M J Akbar in Why Mumbai is the heart of Muslim terrorism, Covert magazine, August 16-31, 2008:

But there is always a flashpoint lurking in the subconscious, waiting to explode. The trigger is hurt, a grievance that emerges from a perceived sense of injustice.

The Hindu who has quietly watched mosque and dargah expand around him, explodes when a few acres are denied to pilgrims on the arduous trek to Amarnath.

He has seen Haj Houses sprout around him for Muslims on their way to Mecca. These rest houses are not temporary structures created for the two months involved in the two-way journey for Haj; they have become permanent community centres.

He asks a question: why should he be denied a place for tired feet on the way to Amarnath?

Is it a punishment to be a Hindu in India?

Think about this excerpt from M J Akbar’s recent column in ArabNews: Identity wars raging in India

But there is always a flashpoint lurking in the subconscious, waiting to explode…. The Hindu who has quietly watched mosque and dargah expand around him, explodes when a few acres are denied to pilgrims on the arduous trek to Amarnath. He has seen Haj houses sprout around him for Muslims on their way to Makkah. These Haj houses are not loaned to the community for the two months involved in the two-way journey for Haj; they have become community centers all year round. He asks a question: Why should he be denied a place for tired feet on the way to Amarnath?
