In 2017, I was trying to write a Novel and thought it would be a good idea to check what kind of stories people of our country were writing.
So I picked up a book of the Write India contest 2016, to check its winners.

The contest was simple, Times Group had requested 11 popular authors to write down a passage each and contestants had to write a short story on it. The authors would then judge the top 3 stories from them to be published.

The Authors included Chetan Bhagat, Amish & Ashwin Sanghi, who either claim to be RW or have a huge RW readership.

Here is @authoramish's passage, it's about a Marathi village girl in 17th century India.

Now I'll show you the kind of winners he has chosen:

This is what he writes in his story.

In the story a Deshastha Brahmin named Jayadratha, rapes 4 women and kills his sister for trying to elope with a hamar. The hamar's father, named Arjuna, beheads the Brahmins and places his head on his father's lap in the end.

WTF? @authoramish!

"Ramayan or some such nonsense"

This is what Manisha Ail, a doctor, wrote:

In this story, Ilaa is belongs to the Brahmin caste and so her mother tells her "That is not our God", when she talks about Lord Virtual.

I wouldn't be surprised to find this Sutapa Basu, writing for Shaktitva.

At the last moment in the gallows, before she was to be punished for helping Shivaji Maharaj, Aurangzeb, who has previously been described as "The Great Mughal Emperor", declares that she shall not be killed.

How sweet of him, praise be to the merciful Alamgir!

The third place was a tie between Shailesh Tripathy & this Ruchi Singh, who calls Vedas, "Murkhapana" (stupidity).

Now, let's see who Chetan Bhagat chose as the winners.

Written by Nainesh Jadwani, an engineer, a story of 2002, where a victim of the riots meets the children of the rioter, who aped her.

Why would Bhagat choose a 2002 story for the first place?

The 2nd place went to Nitin Chaudhary, who describes even a city like Pune as some kind of secular cosmopolitan liberal city.

So basically, there is a bomb blast in Pune by the expected suspects and the protagonist loses his friend in the incident and gets angry at his other friend named Aarif.
Aarif, blames the country of not being loyal to its terrorists.

Years later, the protagonist comes back to Pune and meets Aarif's sister who tells him that Aarif was killed by "Hindu fundamentalists" for no reason.

Then we are told about how much a noble soul Aarif was, that despite having a knife, which he always carried with himself, he didn't even defend himself because "He had no violence in him".

Finally, the punchline of the story, the Sulli asks that bitch of a Hindu protagonist, "Why did your people do this to us?"

@chetan_bhagat, what made you pick two stories that try to portray Hinduism in a bad light as the winners?
