I believed, perhaps naively, when the Covid crisis started that we could sort out our differences and fight the virus unitedly. Liberal Muslims all over the world do not waste any time defending it. Just as liberal Hindus are appalled by the things that Golwalkar of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh wrote, liberal Muslims disown their community’s fundamentalists and loonies. When the Babri Masjid was demolished, the strongest condemnation came from liberal Hindus. Several foreign countries have an interest, if not in fomenting Hindu-Muslim conflict, then certainly in keeping India weakened and divided.
