ag, please stop being an apologetic. move on. things happened and its over with. look at the things since then. everyone in the state has prospered or has enough means to prospers if they choose. education, electricity, water, jobs. so don't dwell on the past. mind you i am not a supporter of what happened. but if we were not able to do anything then, than we should accept our short comings ask for forgiveness and move on. being an ex-ahmedabadite, i can tell you the difference is immense. people are free to move into areas where usually there used to be a lot of tension and scare (this is true for both communities). Hope the will to become an economic stable family rules the loyalty towards ones own religion. this has been proven by the 6 years of rathyatra which went peacefully in ahmedabad and the muharram in the same city. Ask anyone and they will tell you that it is an achievement in itself. So please don't carry the heavy load of skeletons on your back. If you want and wish to see a shinning example of development, check Gujarat. This state even without a sizeable IT sector is at the helm of development in India. Take second guess how far it would have gone without Modi and his no-non sense attitude towards progress. God Bless all.
