Need for introspection
by Pankaj Gadkari on Dec 12, 2007 12:50 PM

Gurajati community by and large is a trader community involved mainly in trading and business.Anyone who has lived in western India knows Gujaratis as a peace loving,cultured,business community who mix well with local population where ever they go.They can't afford to be agressive because they can't do business otherwise.
So much so that many a times they are mistaken for being 'Sisy'when the situation comes to picking up a fight.
Why then this dosile,shy,peace loving Gujarati Hindu neighbour turned in to a Ahmed shah Abdali,Aurangzeb,Timurlang?
What provoked him in becoming a monster which is not his true self?
May be there is a hidden cause which the writer of this article has not noticed or ignored.
Although a murder is a murder however justified the provocation might seem to be.
I am sure Gujarat can make a turn around and the peace in the state restored with both the communities sharing the goodwill by openly discussing their concerns in the open forums without the intereference of any political parties.
