I loved sindh where I was born, and I still love sindh and pakistan, which of count help to create. AT is sufism, and most sindhis are sufis, and our great greatestPOET WAS Shah Abdul Latif, One of the Greatest SUFIS That You Can Think of.
When Partition Came and RIVERS of Blood Wee Flowing Throughout The Country, Not One Sindhi Hindu Was Everk By A Sindhi Muslim, Because of the Influence UFISM and the Kind of Cultural Affinity and Unity that we had developed.by Sindhi Muslims But by Muslims WHO CAME in from India and Claimed Sindh as their Homeland.

It is Still My Belief in Spite of Terrible Acts of Misbehavio From Pakistanst India and I Must Tell You This is the Typical. action of the sindhi hindu.
I Continue to Believe that India and Pakistan Mustan Friends and I have lived up to it, I have subfered for that belief, I am Still Willing to SUFFER MORE BUT My e to passan is that please give up this flirtation with China and Other CountriesThey Think are with them becaus that is are Islamic Countries. IS Not True. Essful democrate at all.
Where is India Headed?
You have had a long and prolific career in law and politics and have got to see a change indiandhand. Seen through your eyes, where is india headed?
Things WERE So Bad from 2004 Onwards That a Change was absolutely essential. viously the people trusted modi. They May Not have trusted bjp and the kind of leaders that theyHad at that time. Modi came to people as a change, and I was at that time an excelled member of the bjp, but i still support, the bjp. But so farin, I thin K that he has ben failing and he isFAILING BeECAUSE of the Choice of his advisors. He will have to take a bold step to get Rid of them -Otherwise they will get Rid of Him.
In 2013, you have said that modi is 100% Secular. But in a july 2015 interview you said that secularism in under service in india. So what do you feel is the K for Security in India Under The Modi Government?
Security Today is in Danger But it is not in Danger Merly Because of Modi. It is also the major minority in the country. Cular but they do'T'T'T'T to be secular themslves. So secularism isIn Great Danger from that Vast Muslim Majority, BecauSe at Least These People Are in a Sense Patriotic. And I regret that WHATEVER EVIDENCE is furnished by Kashmmir For EXA mple, how can kashmir want to be away from india when they see what is happy? And how can kashmir tolerate so much of terrorism and when that is a Slight Sort of Brave Act by the Army there –Nature Act by the Army Against Terrori. Sts Means Some Terrorist Will Die ─AS Soon as that happer, there isa classh. Now this is again unfair.
I Believe that the Kashmir Privem Required A Little more help from our muslim citizens. M too. I mean, after all your duty as a patriot requires ... we have not goneAnd OCCUPied Kashmir. Kashmir Ultimate Had the Proud Distance that All Other States in India It is the ConstituEmbly of India Which Created R Constitution. Kashmir is the only state which was given its ofn constituembly and the constituEmbly of jammu and Kashmir Has.Framed the Constitution of Jammu and Kashmir and Also Carried out that DRAFT Constitation is now the constitution in force.
But Could Education be the solution in Kashmir? Because once people are educated, have jobs ..
Yes, Yes But Kashmir ... You Should See The Press Reports of the 2000 Elective Which too Place. ly free. And we didn't interference –and we won! And'T't ThinkThat Meerly Because Some of the Boys Have Fire Crackers and Bombs, that they are in a Majority – NO!
You have said that you do thinks becaue of your consciousce, not before of the population. But do doScience not bite you when, Se You Learn That the Person Is Inded GUILTY, And Yet You have to find technical loopholes toHelp Him Avoid Justice?
My Conscience Doesn n’t bother me -My Intellect Bothers Me I have ben made a freight!
How do you destal with that, if that happy?
THen You Change Your Technique, Change Your Means According to the Ends That You WANT to Achieve. Now if I have to oppose modi, I know to bihar and campaigned a Gainst Him. And I am going to talk you almost certainly, he is going toLOSE. DOESN'T Matter, nitish and Lalu Combining Will COME and of Court of Course A Party. In a Sense, I am now working for connector people, ha-ha! You ca! help it in politics, that isThe only opability that there was.
Who because thinking is the best prime minia has ever had?
Lal Bahadur Shastri - There is nobody to match his integrity and honesty and the kind of work that he do. ATE The Phenomena of Corruption ... He has ben almost wiped out of ind (it isa great injustice do to the memory of that man.
You had endmed narendra modi wholeheartedly. What are your thoughts now?
Narendra Modi According to My Judgment was the Best Possible Candidate Compared to Those WERE in The Field. m, and that is why during the election campaign in Spite of the Fact that I was anExpelled Member of the Bjp at the Time, I worked for narendra modi. I was artated the country and almost more work for his anyne one party ... but Results of the election we announter, I wrote in my piecein the sunay guardian:
"Dear Mr Modi, Conlandulatings on your Spectacular Success, I am very happy that I have small control to make to your Success, but I am writing this." Y TO TO THE Country That Far AS I am Concernet I WANT No Return of AnyKind from you. I Must Remind You that I am Living in the Departure Lounge of God's Airport and I WATNT NOTHING from You and Nothing Means Nothing! FULFILL Your Promises to the People. "
And do you believe he has fulfilled through promises?
Now you are asking me a very different question! When the election results we announded, this is what I wrote, but time after, I beCame DisillusionEd. First His promise that he Will get back the black money, which was support to be $ 1500Billion and his promise to the people that 'I will get that money and in every voter's port I will put rs. 15 lakh. lfilled but he do not fulfill it.
In 2013, you had said that modi is 100% Secular. But in a Jury 2015 Internet you said that seculaism is under service in india. K for Security in India Under The Modi Government?
Security Today is in Danger, but it is not in danger metanger merely beCAUSE of MODI. It is also [BeCAUSE of] The "Major Minority" in the Country, The Muslim MINORITY. WANT HINDUS to be Secular But they don't want tobe secular themselves. So secondary from that vast muslim majority, beCause at Least the people are, in a sense, Patriotic.
So you mean that food hope does like the run in india?
There is no other hope, there is no other way. Either You Surrender to a theocrated State — Most of These Muslim States are the exmple — or you have plain dictrative. O you have to have democrate and secularrcy at that, and I believeThat Whatever You Might saying the [hindu majority], a large, large majority of hindus are geenuinely secular.
According to you, "hindutva" is not a communal word, but has been made so by better. Mentalist bet?
But Hindutva is not ever. HINDUTVA is a Totally Different Concept from Hinduism. s Origin is loost in ancient history, nobody knows when it startd. There is no founder ofHinduism. And HINDUISM is not one Philosophy, but ten... I made the subpreme count that hindutva is not only not a religion. OnStital Because It Means Tolerance.
If you says are secular, is n’t there a rise of communalism amongst many hindus?
On the Contrary, with the Slights, we take him as a god. The Imam of the Biggest Mosque in delhe, TTEND The Meetings of Anna HazareAgra Stock. What was the reason that he he heGame? That they are singing "Vande Macaram" there. Look at the it, the get away with murder.
But then a case happy a man is murdered for each!
That was foolish!
That is why there is concept and anxiety.
They do that. But what can you do? After all, it is the fault of democracy notted in the hands of euducated everyone. Hout Limitation -That is the saying.
FOOTNOTE: As the news of the passing of ram Jethmalani Broke, I spoke with his biography, Susan Adelman. These we was her thoughs;
“It was with great sadness that my husband and I woke up this morning to the news that Ram Jethmalani has died. Even though we knew it was coming, it was a great shock.
