I am being honest when I say that I did not know of any hatred based on religious distinctions till 1992. Then it dawned on me and so many other young ppl in India the meaning of religion and why they have to hate other communities. Then the years after 1992 have been filled with terror and atrocities. India was more or less a peaceful country with perhaps a few stray incidents here and there, till this communal party sowed hatred and took the naive people of India for a ride by sowing insecurity about our religion in their hearts. A pity that they were successful partly going by the posts here. But the saving grace is that I and some of my ilk have seen through their ugly and cowardly agenda. I hope that more ppl are bestowed with the faculty of distinguishing between good and evil. We were a peaceful nation with people of all religions existing happily. Let us be that way, and tell the world with pride that India is sucha diverse nation, yet united. Let's put a stop to the saffron mafia's diabolic intentions. Jai Hind!

Contractor, you know nothing how the change has come about? Indeed, all religions are equal & India must remain a secular country...known for "unity in diversity". But, the way Congress idiots are working to promote interests of only Muslims & openly hurting Hindus, this could over a period cause serious polarization when Hindus will help only Hindus & all pro-muslims amongst Hindus will be marginalised & thrown out of contention for positions in States & Centre. What is wrong if the "Saffron" Hindus want to protect Hindus but ensure that the BJP ruled States don't discriminate amongst religions / communities & throw the "muslim terrorists" out of this country. Its like Bush didn't allow anoth 9/11, Modi did well to prevent another "after Godhra" riots. Modi is the only one strong Hindu leader who will protect Hindus and create "Aman & Shanti" all over the country. He is the best candidate to be the next PM of India.

Yeah, the people who were killed in 1947 were out of sheer love for each other. It was not hatred but love for each other which forced them to attempt an almost ethnic cleansing.
Meerut, Maliana, Bhiwandi were all evidences of brotherly love and affection.
you are mistaken if you feel that there were no communal riots or trouble in gujarat before 1992.
there were riots in 1946, 1969, 1981, 1985 and that was before anyone knew of modi.
only difference is that in earlier riots, muslims would get aggressive, there would be trouble, police would intervene, fire at mobs and there would be uneasy calm for a few days and then, people would forget it and keep boiling.
in 2002, when train was burnt, people were angry, very very angry...you have to see the crowds to know it.
sitting outside at some remote place, you cannot feel it. you have to be inside the crowd to see how it was boiling.
modi was just an instrument, the fuel was already there and the train burning provided the spark.
i do not mean to say that what happened afterwards is justifiable. but just condemning riots is not going to stop it.
a more rational solution would be to go into the root causes of the trouble and the issue is painful for both hindus and muslims.

You know nothing about his capabilities. See the reports about performance of CMs of various States; Gujarat has done the best in all spheres compared to every other State. Winning the ensuing election in Gujarat will make him the BJP's biggest leader & will be the obvious choice of the party to be projected as the "bhaavi PM" of India. Modi is the only one leader who could defeat Sonia or Rahul or Karat or Karunanidhi or any other regional party leader from any constituency in India. If we had the Presidential type og Govt. (like in US) and he contests such an election; he would defeat any one of these guys so easily. Get your fundas right if you have any common sense.
