Mr Raman Thank you for putting things in their correct perspective We have lived all our lives in Ahmedabad and barring a few years of reasonable peace we have never experienced a single 12 month period when we have not had some communal problems - actually according to a Times Of India report the first communal riot in Ahmedabad happened some time in the year 1819 or so This does not justify anything and two wrongs may not make one right but going through the records one would find that the number of Hindu dead over all these years is far far higher and why does everyone conviniently forget the event that triggered off the Ahmedabad riots Let aside the gross human rights violations of and by the US where were all these so called secularists when a systematic ethnic cleansing of Hindus was taking place in Kashmir? I have never heard asingle word said by them about that Even today I am sure they would be ready to blame the Hindus in Jammu more than they would the muslims in Kashmir The denial of a visa to Modi cannot be justified on any grounds at all other than that we live in a unipolar world and that Muslims and Christians total upto almost half the world population and the Christian church is very powerful today in the US and weilds considerable influence even in India Indian history is replete with examples of Indians who have sold out their own country and countrymen for the lure of lucre or of perceived glory as in the present case by these psuedo secularists
ur article doesnt make modi innocent.But i agree with u how can a terrorist(bush) say another terrorist (modi) wrong.BOTH r equally responsible for human rights voilation and should be hanged as soon as possible.
it seems Mr Raman is not correctly informed about the anti-Hindu riots in then East Pakistan in 1960s
The problem happend after Riots in calcutta The Hindu-Muslim riots proved to be a major setback in India's 16 year struggle to establish and maintain a secular state with freedom and equality for all religions. It was the first incident of religious violence since 1950.
The clashes erupted in January 1964 after the disappearance of a precious relic from a mosque in Srinagar, which was the capital of the Indian-held area of the disputed state of Jammu and Kashmir at the time.
As a result anti-Hindu riots broke out in east Pakistan and 29 people were killed.
Someone contriving to have Modi's visa refused - is a low priority issue. The fact remains that Modi is responsible for the genocide which is a clear violation of human rights. I don't think he will be brought to justice in India.
Right thing for US to do was to allow him an entry into US, then arrest and prosecute him based on international laws.
