You seem to be very 'concerned' that the author talks about riots using statistics of dead and injured. But in the very next sentence you fall back upon those very same statistics ("All that the stats show conclusively") to establish how 'minorities' in our country are "at the receiving end of conflagarations".
You say that the author is "judge and jury" on the Sabarmati Express fire, but aren't you the "judge and jury" on the same case, but of course, coming to the opposite conclusion? In your cynical post you have conveniently ignored the relief measures provided by the government to ALL victims of the violence, as also the fact that the extent of violence was grossly exaggerated by those that found it politically convenient to do so.
And please don't fall back upon the joke of a report which says that somehow hundreds of train passengers on a hot summer's day suddenly developed suicidal tendencies and set fire to their own compartment. (contd...)
