Decades ago when healthcare workers used to go to door to door to immunize people against #Smallpox people used to run away, attack healthcare workers, deny getting immunised
When immunisation started for children parents were scared&had lot of questions
Same repeated now! 1/n

People are scared, they lack information they are not educated
When people lack information and education they will be scared or suffering 4m phobia
When people have insecurities they will be dependent on faith/babas r false prestige r some community/leader to boost their ego 2/n

Attack on healthcare workers is certainly condemnable and no excuses should be given to the culprits. But it's important to understand why they might have behaved like that.
Muslims are stereotyped, stigmatized now #CoronaOutbreak also used against them

When you push someone so corner how will they react? They will show their animalistic behavior.
If a criminal is from majority community criminal will be exception but if a criminal is 4m minority community he/she becomes representative of that community.
Strange but true! 4/n

#AbdulKhalam doesn't represent Indian Muslims according to RSS, he is an exceptional ideal Indian Muslim, but a Islamic jihadi becomes representative of Indian Muslims.
RSS will not tell terrorists r exception!
Same mentality working in #CoronaJihad trending

Bigots must be condemned and rejected but we also should stop bigots becoming representative of whole community
How RSS doesn't represent Hindus or Indians same way Jihadis don't represent Muslims.
But and RSS both part of faith/community.
Corona infected r victims not criminals
