Bombay/Hyderabad vs Maharashtra/Telangana

Unfortunately what we are seeing happening in Telangana does not bear well for the Muslim community in general and the country in particular.
Firtstly I will justify this topic. According to me what is happening in Telangana is "history repeating itself". Which history am I talking about. It is the history of the Bombay state.
The 'Bombay state' was huge. Stretching from Karachi till Goa. But it was 'dissolved' and emerged 'Gujarat' and 'Maharashtra'. It is much like present 'Andhra-Rayala' and Telangana. Earlier also in the case of Bombay state, the status of Bombay city was the main question. If it does not become the capital of Gujarat or the capital of Maharashtra, can it become a 'city state' or 'union territory'.
The history shows what happened.
There was 'police firing' in which several people died and Bombay was given to the state inside which it lied and that is Maharashtra.
The plans to make it a union territory was 'shelved forever'. Now fast forward three decades and we find that Bombay is renamed as 'locals' would call it, namely Mumbai.
Similar is the case of Hyderabad but the difference is it was a semi-independent kingdom. After it failed to keep itself 'independent of India' and was annexed, it stood 'dissolved' and its territories were distributed to various states and it became confined to a city.
Now much like earlier, there is fight for Hyderabad. Andhra people want it, some people want it as union territory and 'locals' from region surrounding it want to keep it for themselves.
Also like earlier I feel 'the locals' will prevail and Hyderabad will go to Telangana and it is possible that like earlier 'some blood may be shed'. Also, we may see a 'Hyderabad renaming'. We may not have to wait three decades. It may happen immediately after Telangana comes.
Thus history is repeating and the happenings are eerily similar.
Ultimately, it the 'locals' who are of majority Hindus will prevail. Much like Shiv Sena or MNS same thing would happen in Hyderabad in due course.
 

Bangladesh and Shia Sunni divide

I will say that my earlier theory about the 'fundamental difference between Shia and Sunni', 'India being Shia' and the fact that conflict between Shia and Shia or Sunni and Sunni being deadlier than that between Shia and Sunni is clearly visible in the country of Bangladesh.
Bangladesh was East Pakistan earlier to its independence. Bangladesh independence movement was a violent struggle which was funded by an insurgency movement fully financed and aided by India.
India exploited the situation in East Pakistan which was reeling from a natural disaster like cyclone and 'denial of election results by miltary Govt. of Pakistan which was mainly West Pakistan based.
Now let us face it. Pakistan now is mainly Punjab and Sindh. As I had analysed earlier people from Punjab are like Shia. Even Hindu Bengalis are like Shia but Islamic Bengalis are Sunnis. Islamic Bengal is what is now Bangladesh.
And that is the reason people from India like Bihar, UP, North East have a deep hatred towards Bangladesh. Another point of 'hate' is the fact that people from Bangladesh consume beef but being backward they are unable to import high quality beef from abroad and rely on cheaper alternative like procuring cattle 'illegally from India'. It is a high risk job because Indians are bloodthirsty when it comes to protection of cattle especially cows.
The India Bangladesh difference has no solution except that Bangladesh abandon its existing path and 'follow the dictates of India'.
Which is no doubt happening.
India, Israel, US all are working to 'destroy Bangladesh as an Islamic Sunni nation and make it 'secular' which will suit them.

New Look

After clearing my cheek of hair last week, I had made a new entry in this blog.
But somehow I felt that, that look was not good. If we see from the side, the hair below our jaw is still visible. Thus yesterday I used the Philips trimmer and then took out some more hair. As you can see now I have a "French cut beard". Yes people the one I was running away from stuck to me.
In earlier posts I had written that one should either keep full beard "in its entirety" or be "entirely clean shaven". But there is a middle path and that middle path I have found I feel.
Now not only do I have a mustache but I also have a 'small beard' which surrounds my chin. If I let the full beard grow, it would become huge. It would become like a forest and many people would not feel it well. But a smaller beard would appear 'manageable to them'.
Also I learn that a few people keep 'soul patch'. Reference I got from HERE.
But I have used the trimmer above that portion of the hair which makes 'soul patch' possible as well.
In the above link which I shared the 'French beard' is also known as 'Goatee'.
Let us see how long this new look of mine lasts.

Meanwhile watched another movie and that is 'Zanzeer' (2013 version). I liked the movie. And I do not care about what others felt for the movie. I felt it is a good time-pass movie. Okay to be watched once. And since I watched it on Videocon D2H on TV, I felt okay. Do not know what I would have felt if I had watched it on the big screen.
