Never realized Javed Akhtar had such a deep understanding of India history and politics. It is very unfortunate that today an attempt is being made to slowly transfer India into a Hindu rashtra.

Did he mention Agumbe Ghats? Now, there's a blast from my past.
Almost every summer, we would travel by car from Bombay to my father's farm in a village in Udipi, South Kanara--yes, the very Udipi that gave the world Masala Dosa. In those days, the coastal Konkan route (I17) via Goa wasn't formed. So, we had to take the inland I4 route via Poona, Kolhapur, Belgaum, Hubli. on to Bangalore. You punched through the Western Ghats (the Sahyadri Mountains) in Lonavala--a treacherous climb--and then punched back into South Kanara after Hubli through the Agumbe Ghats.
The Agumbe Ghats held my childhood awe and fascination. There was this menacing mountain looming in front of us like a mighty giant, wondering if it would let our car pass without incident. My father would make an offering at the roadside altar to appease the ghat gods--we did the same at Lonavala.
I wonder what route Javed Saab's entourage took to cross Agumbe Ghats--they must have stopped in Goa and then proceeded to Bangalore. Thank you for indulging my rumination.

it is a masterclass in what went wrong in the post- independence era that lead to what is happening today
PROTECTING FUNDAMENTALISTS OF MINORITIES (OR MAJORITY POPULATION) IS NOT SECULARISM
