By this argument, since gujarat is the most industrilaized state, we must all follow th gujarat model of society as well (where muslims are ghettoised). Is that okay?

Dear Vasumathi2,
I don't know how Gujarat comes into picture? If you mean Gujarat riots then Gujaratis are and were considered good businessmen even before riots. In fact Gujaratis, Rajsthanis are the Vaishyas of new age India as they specialize in Business activity all over India. About hatred between the communities in picture, well it has been there pre and post independence and the political policies since independence have only suppressed those feelings. As far as riots are considered, it is because of these feelings of hatred which are not allowed to come out otherwise, if you allow the society to be more free in religios dialogue will all sections taking part then there is less chance of it coming out through riots or jehadi activity.
