Dhume could have written about nutrition and health.
Dhume could have written film reviews.
Dhume could have written an op-ed about occultism, palmistry, and black magic.
Dhume could have done a stand-up routine and it would have been fine.
However, Dhume woke up one morning and decided to preach morality and ethics to India's 20 crore Muslims. 20 crore Muslims who have faced state subjugation, systemic oppression, pogroms, social and economic boycott, political obliteration state violence, state persecution, judicial indifference and apathy, mass injustice and inequality.
Dhume, with all of his Savarna, upper caste, and upper class privilege, and 5000 years of oppression history, chose to preach to Muslims in India.
To make matters worse, his entire conjecture is predicated on a single presumption. Yes, presumption, not fact. These are their progressive thinkers. And these are the brightest minds they have.
