Santosh wrote: In stark contrast to this type of sensationalist assertions that we have been overdosed with on Goanet - assertions that might serve only to polarize Goanetters along communal lines, appended below is a sober-minded and thoughtful article by Eduardo Faleiro.
This article was forwarded to me by a level-headed mainstream Goan who rightly believes that the best way to tackle the problem of communal riots and violent religious extremism is to make it a "right thinking Goan of whatever denomination vs violent Hindutva extremists" issue, rather than a "Catholic Goan activists vs whoever they imagine to be supporters of violent Hindu extremists" issue. Comment: I am intrigued how Santosh finds articles and news items exposing hindutva activities communal. Does he too equate hindutva with hinduism? Does he believe that the sangh parivar represents hindus? Does he believe that one should be blind to hindutva disruptionist activities? Would he consider all exposes / news itews on violent activities communal or only those related to hindutva? Would speaking of violent activities of other groups like SIMI, naxalites be considered nationalistic and level headed? I think he is missing the wood for the trees. -- Hyundai to launch the i20 in India.
