Ah, secularism—the crown jewel of Hindu virtues, a beacon of tolerance so bright it blinds them to the glaring contradictions around them. Take Farmaani, a Muslim woman who dared to sing “Har Har Shambho.” Now, if you thought her talent would be celebrated universally, think again. While Hindus applaud her “inclusive spirit,” her fellow Islamists have unleashed a torrent of abuse. But hey, don’t let that distract you from the real issue here. Hindus are far too preoccupied with proving their secular credentials to notice.

The Secularism Keeda: Only in the Hindu Petri Dish
This secularism is like a keeda (a pesky insect) that has taken up permanent residence in the Hindu psyche. It’s a marvel of social engineering, really. While the world goes about its business of prioritizing their own faith and community, Hindus are busy showcasing their secularism. What’s that, you say? A Muslim woman is being harassed for singing a Hindu chant? No time for that—we’ve got temples to open for everyone and yoga classes to offer free of charge!
Plight of Farmaani: The Real Test of Secularism
Meanwhile, Farmaani, our brave heroine, faces the wrath of her own community. Her crime? Singing praises of Lord Shiva. Now, isn’t that just the perfect example of the “Ganga-Jamuni tehzeeb” (composite culture) we love to romanticize? Except, of course, the Ganga seems to have dried up on one side. Where are the secular warriors now? Ah, they’re probably busy defending the rights of every minority—except when it’s a minority within a minority, like Farmaani.
The Irony of It All Farmaani
The irony here is so thick, you could cut it with a knife. The very people who should be outraged by the abuse Farmaani faces are the ones patting themselves on the back for their secularism. Meanwhile, the Islamists are making sure she knows exactly where she stands in their pecking order. But let’s not disturb the Hindus—they’re too busy making sure their secularism shines brighter than their Diwali lamps.
The Keeda That Won’t Quit Farmaani
So, here we are, with Hindus proudly brandishing their secularism like a badge of honor, while Farmaani gets flak for doing something that should be celebrated. Secularism, it seems, is a keeda that only thrives in the fertile soil of the Hindu mindset. But hey, who cares about a little hypocrisy when you’ve got a secular image to maintain? After all, what’s a little abuse when you’ve got the moral high ground?
