Aphorism : Dead past liberalism

For liberals history begins from the moment that has just passed away, or to be more precise from some event in time which is a convenient peg for liberal mythology. Any attempt to correct this notion and inject a perspective of history is illiberal/communal/fascistic.

Hence history of communal strife begins from Godhra/Mumbai riots/Ayudhya prior to which India lived in communal bliss. Partition or Ram Mandir is irrelevant, a distraction from pressing concern of this moment. Any one who dares to disobey the liberal dictum must be prepared to be slandered and stigmatized.

It is like 50 first dates, only without Drew Barrymore.

PS. Talking of dead past, I always thought this story was flirting with authoritarianism.
