RE:Reference to Vadodra Riots
by Pankaj Mohan on Dec 07, 2007 06:17 AM

What does it say about the mentality of Muslims in Godhra if they gathered in thousands just because some foolish karsevaks had misbehaved with a small bunch of them...and forced the train bogeys into a situation where finally 59 unarmed individuals got burnt alive, including kids, women and elderly. Is that a sign of a great culture? Does democracy and the land of law sanction such violent behavior? Hindus were not known to cause such violence until of course VHP and BJP began to rise on at the national level. Until then only Muslims enjoyed this kind of violent behavior. I have grown up in Ahmedabad's walled city area during the 80s when there was no BJP around, and seen the way Muslim communalism functions. BJP has flourished only in that backdrop.
