reality of India–Pakistan, Hindu–Muslim, New Delhi–Srinagar must be grasped. Tinker with any one axis and it will have an immediate impact on the other two. And yet no concerted effort is being made to take a holistic view of the triangle, understand it, and order our behaviour according to its imperatives. Never before have we had it so bad—not a day passes without someone questioning the legitimacy of the Indian Muslim, a call for us to be ‘super patriots’, to prove our patriotism.
