As Hindus across the world celebrate Deebavali today, world leaders including UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and even Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan have sent their pleasantries for Deebavali.
But then we have leaders from our own native land belonging to a party that subscribes to the ideals of so called ‘rationalism’ who haven’t even for courtesy sake have sent their wishes for Deebavali.
While one may or may not believe in the ancient epics and history associated with these festivals, it is expected that those who enter public life atleast respect public sentiments and wish them for the festival that is celebrated with great pomp and show.
However, the DMK which views the Hindu people as its lifelong enemy is reluctant to even utter a word wishing them on their festival but leaves no chance to spew hatred against the Hindus.
Their ‘rationalism’ baffles everybody because it is only targeted at the Hindus. The DMK and all its leaders never hesitate to extend Ramzan wishes and shy away from participating in iftar. They will be sending wishes next month for Christmas. They will not extend Deebavali greetings but come election season, they will come begging for votes knocking on the doors of Hindus.
Many must have become tired of this rant about the DMK not wishing for Hindu festivals. But if DMK has the audacity to treat Hindus as second class citizens and yet get away with it, one should should not shy away from calling out its attack on Hindus. If the DMK has not got tired of plundering the people of Tamil Nadu and earning wealth that will suffice generations of different families of Karunanidhi, so should no Hindu get tired of calling out the party for their anti-Hindu tirade.
It is not that Hindus are longing for a wish from MK Stalin. No Hindu is going to have the auspicious oil bath after hearing Stalin’s golden words. No self-respecting Hindu (not the Hindus present in DMK) gives a rat’s foot about his wishes.
But it is because the DMK claims itself to be a party comprising of 90% Hindus that this needs to be told again and again so that if at least an ounce of self-respect is left amongst the Hindus present in DMK, they can realize how they and their community are being taken for a ride.
If not to the larger Hindu community, the DMK leaders at least for the sake of the 90% Hindus present in the party could extend their wishes. But, that would be too much to expect from a party that spews only venom against the Hindus.
A time will come for all this when the silent majority will shun the party and make it kneel down.
DMK wants Hindu votes but won’t wish for Deebavali?
