Sourav Ganguly brushes off daughter's posts against CAA
Former Indian cricket captain and present BCCI president Sourav Ganguly said his 18-year-old daughter is too young to understand politics.
The Citizenship Amendment Act has gathered a lot of criticism from the common folk and intellectuals of the country. In latest, Sourav Ganguly's 18-year-old daughter took to her social media to condemn the government's move to grant citizenship for non-Muslim communities from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh within 5 years of stay in India.
Sana Ganguly shared an excerpt from Khuswant Singh's 'The End of India' on Instagram and wrote: "Every fascist regime needs communities and groups it can demonize in order to thrive. It starts with one group or two. But it never ends there. A movement built on hate can only sustain itself by continually creating fear and strife. Those of us today who feel secure because we are not Muslims or Christians are living in a fool's paradise. The Sangh is already targeting the Leftist historians and Westernized youth. Tomorrow it will turn its hate on women who wear skirts, people who eat meat, drink liquor, watch foreign films, don't go on annual pilgrimages to temples, use toothpaste instead of danth manjan, prefer allopathic doctors to voids, kiss or shake hands in greeting instead of shouting 'Jai Shri Ram'. No one is safe. We must realize this if we hope to keep India alive."
