Dear Mr President, do you also feel incensed at the Ethnic Cleansing of Kashmiri Hindus?

Letter to Mr Pranab Mukherjee, the President of India

Dear Dada,
Namaskar.
I am so happy to see that as our dear #President you are  #incensed at the brutal #killing of an alleged cattle (cow) #thief Mohammad #Akhlaq by a mob comprising mostly of #Hindus.

But I am with my friend Shailendra Dhar who is  incensed at your #silence on the #EthnicCleansing of #KashmiriHindus for over 25 years now!
Dada, do you remember those lines from a #Tagore poem :
WHERE THE #MIND IS WITHOUT #FEAR
AND THE #HEAD IS HELD #HIGH...?

Now that you hold the highest office and there is nothing more to gain from the profession of #politics for you...
Will you muster the much-needed #moral #courage to say:
I AM INCENSED AT THE ETHNIC CLEANSING OF KASHMIRI HINDUS IN THE INDEPENDENT INDIA...
I AM APPALLED AT THE VOTE-CENTERED POLITICAL OPPORTUNISM GRIPPING THE NATION...
I AM SORRY FOR THE DELAY IN EXPRESSING MY ANGST AS A PERSON WHO HAS WORKED IN THE VARIOUS CAPACITIES DURING THE LAST 30 YEARS?

Sincerely yours,
A Professor-Trying-To-Be-A-Citizen
