Sri Sri Moron-swami

In a move strikingly reminiscent of Gandhi in riot-torn Bengal in 1946-47, which he visited a full three months after Direct Action day when jihad had burnt itself out, to realize his very own peculiar and unrealistic Hindu-Muslim unity, Sri Sri Ravishankar announced his intention to travel to riot-torn J&K to âbring back peace by mediating between communitiesâ. Some of us have not forgotten Sri Sriâs previous visit to the Valley and his most lasting achievement â the best-selling picture of his hugging Yasin Malik, one of Kashmirâs arch jihadis who presided over the genocide of Kashmiri Hindus in the 1990s. A week ago, the ubiquitous Jesus-look-alike âde-religionised spiritualistâ, whose Dallas disciples recently declared that the Art of Living movement is not Hindu, who therefore by the definition of his own disciples is not a Hindu religious leader, expressed agreement with âhurt Hindu sentimentsâ and in the same breath gratuitously advised the Hindus of Jammu to shun violence and fight for their rights through ahimsa (what else). Sri Sri is stirring spittle in an issue which is nothing but politics of religion; Muslims have been made to look past masters at this game only because the self-elected players on the Hindu side were not hard-headed kshatriyas with a thorough understanding of the one-sided rules, but Gandhian woolly-headed pacifists peddling ahimsa and sugary platitudes. The de-religionised spiritualist also advised Indian parliamentarians to support the Indo-American nuclear deal, from Seattle of all places! Who, we wonder was his audience just as we are left wondering who is going to listen to him in J&K and who is going to live by his prescription for peace?
