Okay Najma Heptullah - conceded that you meant Hindi and not Hindu - TopicsExpress



          

Okay Najma Heptullah - conceded that you meant Hindi and not Hindu and the media misquoted you, and I agree with you completely that the word Hind was an Arabic word for all the people that lived beyond Hindukush Mountains! But Madam, you are the Union Minister for Minority Affairs - and unlike what the front and the Government that you represent would want the world to believe that minority is only about religion - there are different kinds of minorities that make up the populace. But let us just take up just two - linguistic and ethnic in this context - are you sure that people in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, Kashmir or even your allies in Maharashtra want themselves to be called Hindi - whatever be the origin of the word - Arabic or otherwise - and do you think you can get away with such irresponsible and hegemonic statement just by taking refuge behind Allama Iqbal? Which once again showcases your bigotry and ignorance!
