It is the forum where we all do is debate. Through debate we try to find truths. So we need the spirit. If you make mistakes (as you were repeatedly making with fundamental physics), it is my responsibility to point it out. JR: That's why I refrained myself from answering your question. But, you are so persistent that I could not help but responding to your query about Sunil Gangooly. SC: Let me tell you why I am persistent. In this very forum I have criticised Sunil for complaining that Taslima hurts the feelings of Muslims whereas at the same time he himself has hurt the feeling of Hindus by saying some thing relating Saraswati moorti and arousal of sex in an adolescent. This is called double standard. But your complaint was totally different. You have said, "Sunil is a fervent critic of Hindus." I was inquisitive as to how and that's why I asked for some evidences which you have failed to produce so far.    JR: Through Bangladesh Hindu Buddhists Christian Unity Council, I met some activist leaders from Kolkata, who are fighting for rights of Hindu refugees in West Bengal, who came from Bangladesh due to persistent persecuti on by previous Bangladeshi governments. They approached Sunil Gangooly several times to listen to their stories and write about them. Sunil Gangooly refused to do so stating that Hindus leave Bangladesh due to political reason and he does not want to get involved in the political matters.  SC: Being fervent critic of Hindus and being not willing to get involved in the political matters are two completely different things. So your complaint is unfounded.  JR: When Taslima Nasrin depicted plights of Hindus under the wrath of persecution in her book (Lajjya), all I hear from Sunil Gangooly is that her writings have no literary value, as if the stories or the subject matters have no value because of incompetent writings. He forgets that he has no courage to write something about this issue.  He is vocal about plights of Muslim minorities in West Bengal, which is wonderful. I wish he could gather some courage to write about the persecution of Hindu minorities in Bangladesh together with the cause of the Muslim minorities in West Bengal. I have some other issues with Sunil Gangooly, which I cannot write at this moment because it is already 12 O'Clock mid-night now. SC: Taslima got huge support from Sunil. Has Sunil ever said that Lajja is not based on facts? I don't think so.  Every writer has a strategy to follow. Definitely Sunil has one which is shaped by his social, political and economic goals. It is not unreasonable to smell intellectual dishonesty in it. But as long as he does not show double standard, does not support persecution of Hindus in Bangladesh, and  and does support Islamic fundamentalism in India, he is all right. It is not me to decide his literary inspirations and literary topics. Finally, please let me know if you find evidences in support of your claim: Sunil is a fervent critic of Hindus.
