That is a Lapse


Aijaz Zaka Syedis one of those Muslims who waking up to the new world without getting trapped in the partition generated time warp. This is a big trap to escape from. But he does commit mistakes. Take the following excerpt, for example.

No matter how much they loath each other, the Muslims and Gujarat’s Modi can’t seem to get out of the tango they find themselves forever locked in. The passage of time hasn’t done anything to dull the pain and trauma of the 2002 pogrom that wiped out more than 2,000 lives.
Yours truly does not like this statement. Muslims are in this tango without wanting. Period.
