Sourav Ganguly: ‘Keep Sana out of it… too young to know anything in politics’

Please keep Sana out of all this issues .. this post is not true .. she is too young a girl to know about anything in politics

Ganguly’s remarks came after Sana shared an excerpt from Khushwant Singh’s ‘The End of India’ (published in 2003) on the social media platform. Her post came amid a police crackdown in Delhi’s Jamia Millia Islamia and widespread protests across the country against the law.

The excerpt read, “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 vaids, 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,” her Instagram story read.
