whole hindi blogging world with whatever little might it hold is debating and debating hard, and it is debating that age old issue of communalism ( yes it still matters to them...old notions of nationality, language, communalism, imperialism...and so many isms that most of us stopped worrying about) Yes these filthy hindiwalas are worrying about Irfan symbolic muslim of hindi blogosphere. Mohalla started the whole thing and Dhurvirodhi , Pratyaksha , Abhishek , all joined with more then one post each, add ton loads of comment to the volume....a grand narrative of Irfaan is already there. And what not those who refused to be drawn, include me, into the ring were also scolded. So thoughit is declaired dead, then declaired revived, authority of declairing dead questioned. So it can be safely said..it is very much on. Fursatiya came up with sensible and touching own story of 'his' Irfan.
दीवाने हो भटक रहे हो मस्जिद मे बु्तखानों में........."लेकिन घटनायें जब इतिहास/ स्मृतियों में दर्ज होती हैं तो उनमें भुनभुनाहटें/ कसमसाहटें नहीं दर्ज नहीं होतीं। वहां सिर्फ़ यही रिकार्ड हो पाता है कि कौन डटा रहा, कौन पलट गया ............................................मुझे तो लगता है कि सच तो यह है कि सांप्रदायिकता किसी समुदाय में नहीं वरन व्यक्ति में होती है। कोई मुसलमान सांप्रदायिक जब हिंदुओं से निपट लेगा तो वो अपने यहां शिया-सुन्नी, अंसारी- सैयद के दंगे में मशगूल हो जायेगा।
