RE:RE:Gay Modi Puts off Women Voters

rama,
Godhra or post-Godhra or the 1984 killing of 3,000 innocent sikhs in New Delhi, or the loss of lives in any communal riot or any caste-riot or political riots in our country - ALL are a National Shame for us.
The first question for me is: what have our "secular" governments done in relation to so many communal riots since the 1960s - Meerut, Bagalpur, Bhiwandi, New Delhi? Modi is a very recent phenomenon. I will come to him. But I want to show you that our Central govt., and the English-language media have NOT been HONEST in relation to past communal riots and this recent, unfortunate Gujath one. Everyone has singled out Gujarath as the easiest to fix responsibility for. Despite numerous commission reports and so on, the "secular" governments have done little to prevent communal riots. Very little was done in 1984. For instance, army regiments are always close to Delhi. Why it took three days of rioting before the security forces were brought in?
Please compare Gujarat with what happened in the past riots. Modi's police killed well over 275 Hindu rioters. Compare that with what happened, or did not happen, in NewDelhi. Within about 30 hours Modi's police brought the mobs under control. Compare that with 1984 Delhi.
How many newspapers have presented a list of the steps Modi took?
The UPA government "U.C.Bannerjeed" Godhra in an unbelievable report, saying, dozens of men and women in the two railway garages set fire to themselves. Manipulation and politics..
