Read the article you posted at rediff site with the URL being "http://in.rediff.com/news/2006/jul/24flip.htm"
It was indeed a good article you wrote after being sitting quitely in London and observing things happening here in India. I was unable to gather the gist of your article. I was clear for one thing that here the police should get more rights but the comments from Shahi Imam which you mentioned specifically were the one which pointed in negative directions though there were comments like "If they are responsible then we will talk to them, tell them that they do more harm to the cause of Islam and to Muslims in India through their actions". I am not defending his comments but just want to share my views with you.
What I would say is why to do what others are already doing, I am talking about the blame game. Why not show some good things we say about each other and then fight the cause for what we ALL want a solution for?
I am not an author neither a writer but wanted to reply for this mail of yours.
Hope you take this in the positive of senses.
