Re: Mullah bashing and sub-continent’s fiction
Neem Mullah is generalisation at its best. There might be someone with balanced approach among Mullahs?
On one hand Mulla and religious people bashing stuff like become top sellers, movies are made on such novels and the writer becomes popular and nominated for prestigious awards. On other hand bechara Mullah could not defend himself. Why people don’t want to consider what made Mullah so bad (if they are that bad). After all, they have tried to defend the religion at various stages over the period. If it was not Mullah, missionaries would have rooted out Islam from sub-continent. Rulers like Akbar did have created more fantasies like ‘Din e Ilahi’
