Lebanon is gone and lost, let's keep India safe.

I'm genuinely sorry for it!

Why CAA and NRC are the last chance for India's existence........wake up! Lebanon is a glaring example of what can go wrong.

In the 1970s, Lebanon was called 'Paradise' and its capital Beirut was the 'Paris of the East'. The Lebanese Christians are some of the oldest Christians in the world, preceded only by the oriental Orthodox of Armenia and Copts of Egypt.

Lebanon was a progressive, tolerant and multi-cultural society, just like India is today. Lebanon had some of the best Universities in Middle East where children from all over Arabia used to come and study. And then they used to stay there and work.

Lebanese banking was one of the best banking systems in the world. Despite not having oil, Lebanon had a great economy. The Lebanese society's progressiveness can be gauged from the '60s Hindi film 'An Evening in Paris', which was also shot in Lebanon!

Now the sad bit. The Islamic population of Lebanon was growing steadily and the Muslims were producing many more kids than the Christians and the kids were slowly being radicalised due to their lack of education!

In the 1970s, there was unrest in Jordan and liberal Lebanon was made to open its doors to "Palestinian refugees" by their Muslim leaders to show "true compassion"! However, by 1980, Lebanon was exactly in the same condition as Syria is in today!!

Jihadists, who entered as 'refugees' started ethnic cleansing of the native Christians resulting in untold number of deaths. No one came to save and people who couldn't adjust to this violence, left Lebanon in waves and waves of emigration.

As a result of the deaths and emigrations, the Lebanese Christian population, which was 60% in 1970, whittled down to a mere 37% in 30 years. Today, there are more Lebanese people living outside of Lebanon than within and their right to return has been blocked by the Muslim majority through laws. The doors are now sealed shut!

The sad story of Lebanon is only 30 years old!

India needs to learn from Lebanese history. There is a need to be vigilant against the Crusaders like Rohingyas, Bangladesh intruders and also the Enemies within!!

Wake up India!

PS.

Did you know that India cannot have NRC but today,
     - Bangladesh already has NRIC;
     - Pakistan already has NADRA,
     - Malysia already has NRD.


Tailpiece.

Our day had begun at 4, with Lekha's cellphone alarm going off. Went through our chores and were ready much before 7. Hamid was at our gate on the dot at 7 and we got dropped at the RTC bus stand. The bus to Vyttila left Guruvayur at a quarter past 7, but thanks to two massive traffic snarls enroute, we reached the bus stand only by a quarter to 10. Padmakumar was waiting for us and after a quick snack, saw them off to Thrippunithura and continued to wait at the hub to join up with Maman, at an appropriate time.

At a half past 11, we met up at the Lulu Mall and had discussions regarding the exhibition. A quick lunch and we were at the Cochin Shipyard for discussions. After wrapping up our engagements, we shaped our course to Thiruvananthapuram by about a quarter past 5.

Reached Thiruvananthapuram by 2300 hrs and worked out our strategies.
