TEHELKA has done a brilliant job with the Gujarat exposé. But what is sad is the lackadaisical response from the country%u2019s elite. They ought to feel ashamed of themselves for their silence.

I suspect, the thoughts of many others like myself. Why is it that the rich and/or famous have chosen to remain silent on as important an issue as the communalisation of Gujarat and, on the contrary, have gone on to provide implicit support to the fascist regime by investing thousands of crores in the state? It is a depressing thought %u2014 does lucre count more than human life in this land of divinity and spirituality? Have we in our relentless pursuit of newfound wealth lost a culture that should have distilled into us something better than we have?

Hindu polarisation and unity is the only way to contain islamic fundamentalism; how you 'ON' can be blind to the atrocities committed by muslims all over the world especially in Pakistan, banglades, afganistan and now in malaysia. Hindus have always been a tolerant society; unfortunately this tolerance will work only with those who are pacific like parsis; it will not work against muslims and christians who want to convert and destroy hindus, their religion and civilization.
