A cab driver who was not earning well, even before Coronavirus, still felt that 'all Muslims were poor'.
It was well entrenched in his mindset that he may not be rich but 'all Muslims are poorer' than him. Enough to give him satisfaction! All communities have rich, poor..1/3

*Another guy finding difficult to pay his rent, casually said that 'ye log bahut bol rahe hain', because Muslim youth were holding a protest, then
*He said he was sick 'with them'. He wanted them to be shown their place more. The dominance, majoritarianism gives him happiness 2/3

*More than own issues or aspirations, he gets happiness is something else. Third person was angry with a Muslim leader who speaks fearlessly
*He doesn't want a Muslim to be so vocal. He wants to even decide this that how much they (minority) should be allowed--speech, rights 3/3

*TV channels have drilled in their minds this that all Muslims are poor, backward. They've little idea about Muslim society. If they find educated Muslim, they tell themselves, 'oh this is an exception'
*There are poor among Muslims but certainly there are lot of positive aspects

*You shut doors of govt jobs but education, intelligence or mastery in job-art-work doesn't need govt job validation.
*There are reasons Muslim economy still works, far better. Of course, given the vile, wicked nature of enemies, won't tell all things. Your thinktanks work 24/7.

Keep your efforts on. Strangely those who never had decent friends, never ventured into Muslim localities or seen Muslim households--rich or poor.

Round the clock propaganda has serious affects. It hurt self-belief, confidence of youth, many of whom believed that, 'there was something wrong with the community', 'we are backward'. Generalizing, terming entire population--200 million as 'backward'!
