Mumbai's July 2011 blasts and Subramanian Swamy's hate-mongering

Subramanian Swamy wrote an incendiary piece in DNA, offering his remedies for terrorism. I was aghast, struck by his shameless opportunism and incitement, fanning the flames in an already surcharged environment. Like many, I too protested to the Editor for providing space to Swamy’s hate-mongering. In response, I was invited to write - this is about the spirit of Mumbai and the soul of India.

Swamy's Swamy's hate-mongering article is on http://www.dnaindia.com/analysis/analysis_how-to-wipe-out-islamic-terror_1566203-all (published on July 16, 3 days after the blasts)

My rejoinder-response was published the next day - http://www.dnaindia.com/analysis/comment_politics-of-hate-will-never-define-india-part-i_1566502

From the archives - Ram Jethmalani, himself no saint, on Subramanian Swamy - "diseased insect", "vicious viper", "gutter...his natural habitat".... lol - these 'bigwigs' and their writings! :) http://malini-bhargava.sulekha.com/blog/post/2008/07/this-diseased-insect-subramanian-swamy.htm

Dear Mr. Sharma,

I really appreciate you voicing your opinion on this. I am actually shocked that DNA published this!

Keep up your good work and sorry about your back. Hope it gets well soon. We appreciate your commitment.
