Jyoti, May...Thanks, both of you for your comments.<br /><br />Jyoti, Maybe, Muslims are better protected in India compared to many other countries, but can we say that about Gujarat? The riots were bad, but there had been riots in the past. What is totally unacceptable is the way an elected government in a democratic set-up, which was oath-bound to protect every community, went after Muslims in a systematic manner. Later, the same government pulled out all the stops to protect the guilty. Just yesterday (1/12/2011), the Gujarat High Court handed over the Ishrat Jahan fake encounter case to the CBI and the Supreme Court rapped the state government for withholding facts in the Shorabuddin murder case.<br /><br />More than the fate of Muslims, which is an important issue, what should bother us is the future of the Indian democracy. If the protectors of the law deliberately break law without showing the least sign of remorse, it puts a question mark about the future of our democracy itself.Santanu Sinha Chaudhurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15062744470522359652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5653188975343905818.post-77994883613613132192011-12-01T10:38:41.802+05:302011-12-01T10:38:41.802+05:30Dear Shantanu,
Without endorsing the brutal murde...Dear Shantanu, <br />Without endorsing the brutal murder of Nadem Syeed,I suggest we must not be super sensitive to the sufferings of only one community-historically all communal sufferings have been unleashed by the irresponsible and vested interested politicians. Muslims are far better protected in India than their counterparts in our neighbouring countries .You are aware how Bengalee Muslims suffered in erstwhile East Pakistan and how the Ahmediya Community are persecuted in Pakistan to this day. <br />Regards<br />JyotiJyoti Prosad Chakravartinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5653188975343905818.post-52627521088021513152011-11-08T09:46:24.404+05:302011-11-08T09:46:24.404+05:30With a virtual tinpot dictator at the helms, one f...With a virtual tinpot dictator at the helms, one finds it so difficult to believe that Gujarat is also the home state of Mahatma Gandhi!<br />The nine men wrongly incarcerated for the Malegaon blasts ought to sue the authorities for shoddy investigation and the loss of so many years behind bars. Every time there's a blast, our 'experts' claim that it's a Muslim outfit! This is not just ridiculous, it's highly dangerous!Courtjesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07957702448731005675noreply@blogger.com
