I would like to make one point here, much has been written about Gujarat Riots,CM Narendra Modi's so called support to the rioteers. But interestingly the event that led to these riots is being shadowed.Godhra train massacre is being deliberately being put on the back front.
When there were riots during 1992-93 in Mumbai,the reason cited for those riots was demolition of Babri Masjid at Ayodhya.And these so called secularists were time and again pronouncing the reason behind the riots as demolition of Babri Masjid, But in case of Godhra,these pseudo-secularists have conviniently forgotten about Godhra incident where 60 Hindus were burnt alive in train. I'm surprised no one is talkinjg about Godhra,everyone is only making noise about what happened after Godhra,will anybody raise queries regarding Godhra event? How can people forget that tragic incident where 60 Hindus were burnt alive? Or only because Muslims were worst hit in the riots,so secularists will talk about that only?

There can't be any justification to killings of human beings be it at Godhra or post Godhra riots. Does the religion whoever says himself to be a true hindu or a muslim; can never justify any killings. We should not be guilty of supporting the crimes which we did not do beacuse that also makes us a part of the crime. I feel sorry to see so much hatred here and that people justifying killings against fellow humans just because they do not happen to be co-religionist. Hey guys, understand one thing, there goes a saying''Never fight for your belief, you never know you might be wrong''. Religion is a person's choice; his way of living a life and no religion teaches you to kill humans. I am a muslim and still i dont wish anything bad for Mr. Modi, i just wish he realises what is humanity and what is human suffering at the hands of a fellow human being. You can't live with peace with so much hatred within you guys. Be a true Hindu and a true Muslim an speak truth for your religion--speak for love and compassion not hatred and killings.

We all educated agree that all killings and all sorts of violence by anyone needs to be condemned but the sad part is mini-Pakistans in India go unnoticed bcos those are votebanks. If all of us are so liberal, why not discount a piece of land for lord Rama's temple instead of fighting for grave of some ruler. We all know that rulers like babar invaded india and converted/looted so many. Why don't any liberal muslims come ahead and support that cause? Before even BJP picked up the ayodhya issue it was burning for dcades with no much political support. If any muslim cause is supported to protect votebank, then why not hindu cause? This mockery of democracy is the root cause of all. We should have only educated people voting for politicians and only then expect some sense in whats happening in this countyr. If that happens educated peoples' issue will be taken up and all sensible policies like mentioned by u guys will work on ground.

Both were acts of utter shame and cowardness.Had Modi wanted he cud have punished da guilty,did he do it no he dint.Instead his ppl cut open a pregnant womans stomach and this is called bravery WOW!!!!!!.As for da train incident,it was mob fury n not hindu-muslim,it was something sad never the less and talking abt it or making a point abt it wont make ne diff,whats over is over and we have to see to it dat it doesnt happen again. Politicians will be politicians,lets not be dumb enough to fall into their traps,they do this to deviate us from the bigger picture mainly eradication of poverty and corruption wid loads more,it's sad to see parties coming into power by spreading and increasing communialism or by doing da opp.Like Gandhiji said" An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind"

Right buddy. See my response below. u talk sense. unity should be our policy and we should not tolerate any nonsense like ppl ignoring godhra. If no Godhra, no gujrat riots. if ppl hand over ayodhya land no riots in mumbai. We all live together this way in peace.
