I wont even delve in to the riots cause it is now public knowledge that that Modis government was the mastermind of that pogrom, the victimization and persecution of Muslims, and was involved in every aspect of the riot from planning, instigation, coordination, execution, perpetuation, the cover-up, manufacturing lies, shoddy investigations, legal subversion and the prevention of delivery of justice. The police sided with the rioters; and not just the carnage, but also the aftermath was clinically planned and supervised by the State In many places, both the defense and the prosecution were on the same side %u2014 on the side of those who looted, raped and killed. judges gave the lawyers their full cooperation and guidance on how to defend the accused rioters. Even the Nanavati-Shah Commission has been compromised.
Also, the riots were not a %u201Creaction%u201D to the unfortunate burning of the Godhra train, but a contrived, pre-planned, well plotted act of the .How else would u explain the imported (from other states) guns and the manufactured bombs? These guns and bombs cannot be made/imported overnight. And since the riots were an immediate backlash, how did those hard liner Hindu fundamentalist rioters have those weapons and bombs the very next day after Godhra train burning? THINK!
Hindu fundamentalists (mainly Gujarati) justify the riots saying - [as it were MUSLIMS who set the train on fire, they had the riots coming to them]. Firstly, there is NO evidence whatsoever to back that claim and even if there was, such criminals CANNOT be called Muslims as terrorism has no religion. Even assuming those criminals were Muslims, why take the life of 2800 more (and displace thousands others) just because they happen to have the same faith? How can a Chief Minister take his que on integrity from terrorists? A terrorist%u2019s sole aim is to create terror, but is that the sole aim of a Chief Minister too? It could, at some level be justified, if he had terrorized just those unscrupulous elements who set the train on fire. But why kill 2800 other innocent souls in the brutal most manner imaginable, just because they share the same religion? And till date justice eludes these helpless beings. Would you blame them if one of these riots victims, who saw his father being slaughtered, his mother being set on fire and his sister being raped brutally, was to take the violent road to revenge and consequently deemed a terrorist? Honestly think: Would you not want to kill and avenge ur father, mother and sisters death in the most barbaric way possible, if you were in his place?
The fact is that Modi was the single, biggest beneficiary of these riots, coming to power with a resounding majority of 126 seats in the following assembly elections.
Today more than 20% of Gujarat is below the poverty line and Modi has taken absolutely no steps to alleviate the problems of these farmers. 420 farmers have committed suicide in Gujarat alone. All he is good at is playing with emotional issues. It helped his in 2002 elections and he is hoping it would work this time around too. He is the paradigm of the communal vote bank gutter politics.
Also, the Tehelka expose was, for all intents and purposes a BJP backed sting. Think about it. Who would have benefited? It is common knowledge that highlighting the role of govt in the riots would have polarized the voters and this polarization would have ONLY benefited BJP (Modi) - NOT the Congress. If Congress was backing the expose, they would have atleast spoken about it for a week or tried to rake up the issue. Rather, the Congress has been careful in NOT bringing up Godhra riots. There was nothing for BJP (Modi) to loose from this expose - only gains. It was a strategic, well contrived plan aiming at communalizing the voters and in the process making it seem that the Congress was behind the sting. THINK!
RSS fools are deleting messages on message board like beating a snake to kill. It proves the mentality of a 'Cultural organisation'. What culture they provide????

its not just about BJP or Hindus. I have noticed that rediff is trying to create controversies with all articles. they really don't care abt anything but more ppl should read. bad media policy
But what's surprising is that Congress gets a free card out-of-jail for what it did in '84, but not BJP. Smells like double standards.
This statement is usually thrown by all those who sympathize with fascism coming out of Hindutva forces. Saying, Dont they do it?, Doesnt Pakistan do it?, Dont Muslims do it? are just mere excuses to carry on and legitimize their own bigoted feelings and sympathies.
Just because some African tribe kills people mercilessly does not mean we should do the same. Saying, Dont Africans do it?, will not justify, alleviate or condone your own actions.

Correct, So if you want justice, stand and oppose the policies of the malaysian, saudi governments as loudly as you do it against Israel.
I agree with some tat the muslims need to look within as to what went wrong and where. Over the centuries if they saw it was the hindus that were being targeted in the state meekly. And when they choose to respond in kind then did the so called secularist realize it was genocide and so on and so forth. And the mulsims know this very well. All I think Modi is looking at is equality to all appeasement to none. So whats wrong with that. They are behaving like the kings who were losing their privy purses and are now being asked to live as one. Indian from the time of Mahatma has given away too much concession to one community which in it self is wrong. When we have all come to choose to live togeather then why the seperate laws.
