I read most of the comments written on the page and I kept thinking why we are writing such messages on this public forum. I am sure that none of the people know exactly what happened. I live in Baghpat and was at the site when the busses were being burnt. Its was a general fight between 2 neighbors which turned out to be a communical altercation. Just like people here on this discussion board with no relation whatsoever have started abusing each other. What surprises me is the fact there is so much hatred between all of us. If some one hurts me or my friends or my family I will have issues with him alone as he is responsible for the cause not to the religion/community/region etc he belongs to. I am a Hindu and lost my father in a communal riot. But in no way I will ever blame any specific community for the cause. There are extreme people in the society, and it is becos of such people we start associating with them. Be it Praveen Togadia, Ahmed Bukhari or any XYZee, I don't gv them power to decide my life. I love my friends and have a good number of christians and Muslims in the group, but I love them as good human being and can completely depend on them. I may sound different, but I request each one of you to trust your feelings when it comes to ppl and not these jokers who have ulterior motives.

You are right - you should not nurse hatred towards any community or people for your father's loss.
We should indeed love all people as human beings. We should not discriminate against anyone because his religious belief is different.
And that is why we must oppose ideologies which believe that anyone not following them is automatically evil, and has to be either converted or killed.
Attack the ideology of hate, love the people who are unfortunate enough to be born into that ideology.

Reading your post prompted me to to write this. I feel that people like you are worthy of admiration. I agree with you that as Indians, we must not be hasty in forming opinions. There is a lot of scope for manipulation by vested interests. More so since we have now entered into a preparatory General election mode, for next year, therefore, it is possible that a lot of local governements would be destabilized, by various means.
Please also accept my condolence to your father's death.
