Good article, reflecting the ground reality. wish the media sees the ground reality at camps of kashmiri hindus near delhi too. That would be balanced reporting. If rediff reporters have done that work please send me the links. That way we can know that the vision of the media is not narrowed down to think that India is Gujrat / Godra.

I guess you missed many reports on the life of kasmiris in these camps on various channels and news media including rediff!!!
Kashmiris have often asked the Pundits to return to the valley with open arms but the Pundits some of them well entrenched in India donot want to return back due to many reasons an important among this is Economic!
If they have well set business and jobs in India why would they return to Kashmir that is still burning?
Only when the issue of Kashmir is solved to the mutual satisfaction of all the parties including the Kasmiris themselves there can be no lasting peace there.
When a just solution is reached on the fate of Kashmir, the communal forces will be devoid of the oxygen for their breathing and lasting peace acheived in Kashmir and god willing in India too!!!
No body has the right to kill others. The politicians are fooling the Muslims & Muslim intelligencia is not waking up. They have to wake up themselves , otherwise these things will continue. There are BAd & Good people in all religions. No one should go by religion but should go by their conscions.

VS: I would ask you to read the Gita first.....to begin with.... and because you went into accusation I would say u read the Quran and the Bible.
THEN COMPARE THEIR MESSAGE AS YOU UNDERSTAND IT
Is that fair enough for you. I am not even asking u to read the Shrutis (Vedas, Upanishads) or any of the dozens of Smritis and Puranas or the works of Sikh, Jain and Buddhist gurus and rishis. I understand that it would be too much information for readers of hate "pocketbook" like Quran.
If you do not have the capability or understanding to read that much then visit the following sites to do a comparative study.

You want us hindus to understand your religion and i want you to understand mine.
The problem with you muslims majority of you have not interpreted ...killing in the name of religion is nothing but misinterpration.. ...and you try to conlude abt other re;igion that hindism..which in itself has so many views...

However I have to say this. The guys who burned the Godhra train were terrorists. And the guys who retaliated against innocent muslims were not only terrorists but also cowards. How would anyone have the mind to attack women and children totally unrelated to the train incident, i cant tell. But again they dont represent the hindu majority in the same way the train burners dont represent the muslim majority.
All said and done, this would not have happened in a Hindu India.

don't be stupid. if india was a hindu nation, we'd still be split...maybe along caste lines. don't you know all the killings that happen between hindus of different castes.
if this is all presented to gujarat govt. then i am sure Modi govt. will provide help to this people. i have seen plenty of riots affected people settled back to their life now. Media always showing this riots in wrong manner..they should check the other side of the coin..

The sad truth of Hinduism - not a single Hindu nation in the world. But one cannot forget that India is the only place Hindus can call home. Not sure how that is relevant here but I thought I'd put it out there anyway?
