Mnmbai bomb blast verdict

It is good thing that terrorists are punished. Violence against Muslims are ignored throughout the indepentent India.But anything against non-Muslims is terrorism. Here justice will be completed after giving the capital punishment to Balthakeray and Narendra MOdi..
Besides this true and impartial investigations and trial should be conducted to all the riots occured during the last three decades.Above all this make sure that no communal violence will happen again in India. Law should be made to punish all those who involve in riots and its sponsers without looking at the political background and religious affinity..Then we can see a calm and prosperous India with everybody at the national mainstream.

I don't think the idea that terror can be linked to any perceived injustice to a particular community. By trying to link, we are creating acceptability to terror as a response to injustice, which is against the basic principles of democracy and a liberal free society which provides sufficient avenues for redressal. Voting, by far which has been exercised juidiciously by the minorities is a potent weapon to seek redressal of injustice.

Riots are bad whoever indulges in them. The guilty must be punished. Agreed. But remember Modi and Thackeray are recent phenomena. Muslims have been rioting and oppressing Hindus for centuries. They even carved out separate countries for themselves! If Muslims insist on bad behavior unless these two leaders are punished, then remember Hindus can come up with a lot lot more Muslims names who have created problems for the whole world. Remember Hindus have sentiments too.
