You have read what Muslim dominated BhaaratVarsh was like in my other publications. Whatever little you have seen there, that may have left a bad taste in your mouth. Many of you may think that it is all matter of past. It happened then but it would not happen now. After all, you hear these days so much about positive thinking, and also about the need to avoid negative thoughts. And you have also been taught that civilization has progressed, and we have better outlook towards humanity now, than they had in earlier days. To many of you the past is past. Let us not waste our time and energy on what happened during bygone days. We must forget the past and build a new tomorrow is the slogan that you will like to believe in. Have you also heard that history repeats itself? Do you believe in it? Have you studied history honestly enough? Have you had honest guides as your teachers and professors who systematically demonstrated to you whether history repeats itself or not? Anyway, I would not want to go into those endless debates. I have a simpler approach that would appeal to your common sense . You need not be a scholar of history. You will know what is what if you only trust your own ability to judge. You have read what happened in the past. Now you read what is happening these days. You see for yourself whether there is a consistency or not. Examine by yourself whether there is a clear cut pattern or not. Compare what happened before with what is happening now. Check if it is practically the same as before. Decide for yourself whether history repeats itself or not. Once you are clear about this you will know what to expect in future. Your own judgment will tell you what to guard against. After all, your children are dear to you and their future and safety is your concern! This may be in store for you You have been reading about illegal migration from BanglaDesh. First stop thinking of them as BanglaDeshis. Nationality is of no consequence . If you have read my other publications you would have known why I keep cautioning you not to think in terms of nationalities or continentality like British, German, European, American, etc. These descriptions are very deceptive. They do not allow you to look beyond certain boundaries. Your vision does not penetrate beyond those barriers. You miss to identify the true culprit. The true driving force behind all their conducts remains hidden behind masks created by those images that you carry in your mind when you think of people as British, German, BanglaDeshi, Pakistani, and so on. This is particularly true in todays context.
