It was merely a rhetorical cry of despair, particularly because I can't help feeling that with prices rise, terrorist attacks, and all that, the next elections will see the BJP back in power, more aggressively pushing its divisive agenda.Rahul Basuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07751088048215388592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2007509643610309350.post-68835683327484300822008-09-28T17:13:00.000+05:302008-09-28T17:13:00.000+05:30Dr. Basu,regardless of what the Nanavati commissio...Dr. Basu,<BR/><BR/>regardless of what the Nanavati commission findings are, they cannot provide a justification of what happened next and how despicably the state machinery acted. Every government has a responsibility to prevent perpetuation of violence and in this case the state government hardly did anything and, in fact, from many accounts perpetrated violence on minority. <BR/><BR/>I do have a question for you though. All this "makes you want to emigrate" where ..... ?

I have not even visited Gujarat after that. Perhaps you think all these organisations are biased or prejudiced against Narendra Modi and his Govt. but here is a sample:<BR/><BR/><BR/>Supreme Court of India<BR/>Human Rights Watch<BR/>People Union of Civil Liberties<BR/>Editors' Guild<BR/>Tehelka<BR/>Outlook<BR/>Indian Express<BR/>Hindustan Times<BR/>Hindu<BR/><BR/>Many news channels, many of them not considered antagonistic to the Sangh Parivar -- Aaj Tak, Zee News, Star News, some of which were banned by the Gujarat Government, the classic repression technique of a fascist state. <BR/><BR/>When the so called 'considered' opinion of a commission flies against the combined reportage and opinion of a large number of diverse organisations, it should perhaps make us think a bit. <BR/><BR/>You can find a few more sources in this <BR/>Wikipedia <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002_Gujarat_violence" REL="nofollow">article</A>.Rahul Basuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07751088048215388592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2007509643610309350.post-41613535758227709442008-09-26T14:37:00.000+05:302008-09-26T14:37:00.000+05:30Dr. Basu,Had the Nanavati Commission given a verdi...Dr. Basu,<BR/><BR/>Had the Nanavati Commission given a verdict that accused the Modi government, would you still have criticized it? Or are you criticizing it because their verdict doesn't match yours?<BR/><BR/>The Commission has come to the conclusion after reviewing all the evidence, so I am certain that they are in a better position to pass judgment on the whole train incident.<BR/><BR/>But again, it is your blog.
