Sir, It is very surprising that while Fr. Cedric Prakash s.j. repeatedly speaks about the atrocities against Muslims in the Gujarat carnage of 2002, he never has a word of sympathy for the 59 Hindus who died in the burning of the train in Godhra. He has never condemned the brutalization, rape and murder of the 4 lakh Kashmiri Hindu Pandits by Muslim militants forcing them to flee the Kashmir valley and take refuge in camps in other parts of the country. As a man of God, and a representative of the Christian community, he should be unbiased in his approach to these disturbing events. Unfortunately, it appears he has a very one-sided view, which, is definitely not becoming of a man of his stature. It is hoped he has a more even handed approach, in the future. Best Wishes, John Fernandes
