We are a country living in denial

Our refusal to acknowledge and accept that things arent going well around us will eventually lead to our undoing

No one instigated riots across India in 1992. There was no demolition of any religious structure on purpose because that is what has been proved. There were no instigators, no ministers driving across the country in vehicles masquerading as chariots, demanding that a building be torn down. Whatever happened, did so by accident. It must have been a misstep. We were all mistaken, and any audio or video footage that exists must have been doctored. This has been decided, so it must be true.
No women or girls have been gang-raped anywhere in India. Women are sacred in this country, and millions have been spent asking us all to protect the girl child and educate the girl child. This means that women have been protected and are consistently treated as equals. There isn't a single Indian man who would dare look at a woman with disrespect. Any proof of this happening has been manufactured by people trying to tear this country down with propaganda. No children have been raped here.
It has been decided, so it must be true.
