The Paradox of Open Gates In Bangladesh, in pockets where law briefly retreats and mobs take its place, Hindu homes have burned. Not in battle. Not in rebellion. But in targeted cruelty—where identity becomes a verdict, and fire the sentence. Men, women, the elderly—reduced to statistics only after they are reduced to ash. Temples vandalised. Neighbourhoods erased. A civilisation told, once again, that its suffering will be explained away as “complex”. And while this unfolds across the border, another scene plays out under floodlights. In India—safe, confident, prosperous—an Indian franchise owned by a Muslim superstar, Shah Rukh Khan’s KKR, signs Bangladeshi cricketer Mustafizur Rahman for ₹9.2 crore. The announcement is celebratory. Applause erupts. Jerseys sell. The league markets harmony, opportunity, and global camaraderie. Nothing illegal. Nothing improper. Nothing even unkind. And yet—the paradox is unbearable. On one side: Hindus burned alive by radical Islamists, punished for existing. On the other: India’s most lucrative sporting league opening its arms, its treasury, and its prime-time reverence to talent from the same land—without pause, without question, without memory. This is not an accusation against Mustafizur Rahman. Nor against Shah Rukh Khan. Nor against Indian Muslims. It is an indictment of civilisational asymmetry. India remains a civilisation that absorbs pain but exports goodwill. Bangladesh’s radicals burn minorities—India responds with contracts, applause, and cheques. History whispers a warning here. Empires do not always fall to battering rams. They fall when the gates open from inside. Not through betrayal—but through denial. Not through hatred—but through an almost pathological refusal to acknowledge hostility. When suffering is compartmentalised as “foreign”, when commerce and entertainment are insulated from moral reality, when outrage is selectively muted in the name of sophistication— the fort still stands. But its sentries are asleep. The tragedy is not India’s tolerance. That is its strength. The tragedy is when tolerance becomes amnesia, and compassion becomes one-directional, and moral clarity is postponed so long that it begins to look like moral confusion. Civilisations are not destroyed by those who hate them. They are eroded by those who refuse to recognise hatred even as the flames rise. And somewhere between the burning homes in Bangladesh and the roaring stadiums in India, the question lingers—quiet, uncomfortable, and unresolved: How long can a nation keep its gates open, while pretending no one is testing them?
