Insecurity Among Minorities
Dr T.H.Chowdary*
Who should feel Insecure: Sri Asaduddin Oweisi, MIM, MP is often speaking that the insecurity among minority that is Muslims should be removed by the government . Who would feel insecure and why - those criminals who are not yet caught and sentenced, income tax evaders who are not yet detected, those who provide shelter for and co-operate with smugglers , terrorists, and infiltrators from other countries are some of the persons who will feel insecure.
2. Surely a national government is duty -bound to detect these and mete out punishment for their illegal activities. Some sections of the residents of this country feel insecure because of the crimes that their ancestors had committed while they were the rulers and these people are not repentant about their past crimes. Some feel guilty for militantly and violently rioting and voting for the division of this country saying that they are a separate nation but still staying in this country unrepentantly and reverting to their former separatism.
3. Truth and Reconciliation : The only way in which their feeling of insecurity can be removed is the way that South Africa and Peru have done. In both these countries Truth and Reconciliation Commission were constituted so that the perpetrators of crimes in the past while they were rulers are confessed as historical crimes and the present generations repudiate and not glory in those actions and sincerely acknowledge the criminal past and exert to educate themselves to be part of an integrated and indivisible part of the nation and have no extra-territorial loyalties .
