And rightly so !!! I will focuss on that. >We however stuck our heads in the sand when the >Partition carnage took place.

Actually include the Rt.Wing Muslims, the Rt.Wing Sikhs, and the Rt.Wing Christians in the lot who have opened the wounds all over again. After all you cannot forget Kashmir, the North-east, Godhra, etc. >Somehow, it appears that the more extreme the >situations, the more the funds that flow in. Errrr.....excuse me but what funds are you talking about ? The Finance Minister has finally admitted that the Gujarat carnage has affected investment and the economy adversely >This thing in Gujarat is an absolute shame. I hope >some of us are proud of it. I hope you meant "none of us are proud of it". Well how can one be proud of senseless killings in the name of religion and false egos ? Nevertheless I am sure we will have those kind in all communities. >Not Moi! Wow ! I hope that means you aren't proud of course. ;-) >and what is Papa Doc Atal B.

Didn't see your point in pasting the horrible wails and moans of the Muslim victims in Gujarat.....if you wanted us to shudder well let me tell you that I have been shuddering from the very first day that the burning in Gujarat began. One doesn't need to read this stuff to know what hell these poor people have been thru. Maybe the point you were trying to make is that you only know of these emotional outpourings. You probably haven't read or heard or thought about those of the Sikhs, Kashmiri Hindus, North East Hindus, low caste Hindus, Kashmiri Buddists, etc. Or maybe the point you were trying to make is that the moans of the victims of Godhra which considering the carnage began with this incident are not worth listening to since they were specifically absent, considering this was an essay on the Gujarat carnage. Or maybe you were trying to show us how people put blinders as and how it suits them i.e. when it is not their community or interests affected. All in all I agree that the Gujarat carnage should be condemned. But I also condemn all the other carnages including the ongoing one in Kashmir, the North-East, Bihar, UP, etc. Can I hope for the same from you ?
