The Union Home Ministry%u2019s Annual Report 2002-03 said that about a half of the total dead in the Godhra riots were Hindus. It also said that, at one stage, 40,000 Hindus were in riot relief camps.
Since no %u2018secularist%u2019 or %u2018liberal%u2019 or %u2018objective%u2019 person ever challenged the above sets of figures, some questions arise: Who killed 200-odd Hindus so early in those riots? Was it the police or the Hindus themselves? And what made those 40,000 Hindus rush to relief camps? Was it fear of Hindu mob violence, rape, arson and murder?
More proof of the blindfold on Godhra came in 2005, when the UPA coalition (comprising the %u2018secular%u2019 friends of Muslims) made a statement in Parliament that 454 Hindus and 490 Muslims were killed in those riots.
But our national media simply refused to remove the blindfold on Godhra. Hence it was that the elites of our society continued to rant about the Gujarat %u2018pogrom of genocide%u2019; some cussed Indians even conspired to deny a US visa to the Chief Minister of one of the country%u2019s fastest developing states.
It%u2019s a open ended question and I guess the aware hindus already know the answer
