Look guys, I am not in favor or against any one community. My take is that this is the time for national reconciliation and not digging up the past. I wish i could spend more time on this debate, but am a bit short on time. I am passionate on this subject and we shall take this up again sometime in the future for sure.

Everyone wants national reconciliation but without putting the gost of past in approriate manner in unequivocal terms all we will doing is comsmetics in name of reconcilliation.

Swaminomics fro TOI.. another psec who sees the light but yet can't come to terms with it. ************************************* He has appealed to Gujarati pride, saying critics are trying to defame Gujarat state, not just him personally. He is factually on firm ground in saying that political parties who have resorted to extra-judicial killings galore in other states are hypocrites in trying to portray Gujarat as a den of sin. In Punjab, upholding civil rights or the rule of law did not end the Sikh militancy. On the contrary, such tactics were useless against the militants. Sikh terrorism was finally quashed by state terror, by extra-judicial torture, kidnapping and murder. Some who spearheaded that state terror are now lauded as heroes. In Kashmir, Indian troops and police have committed atrocities galore. Most parties (and most Indians) regret this but see it as an inescapable side-effect of the battle against militants. However, the very parties and persons complicit in atrocities in Kashmir claim to be outraged by atrocities in Gujarat. Modi is quick to exploit the double standard. The Communist parties have ignored civil rights and the rule of law in their recent "re-capture" of Nandigram. Earlier, Naxalite militants threatened West Bengal in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The Congress and CPM colluded in crushing the insurgents through extra-judicial means. Naxalism was not quashed by the rule of law, but by state terror. The winners of that struggle were lauded for bringing peace. Yet, says Modi, the same people dare criticise similar tactics in Gujarat. Now, I can defend state terror in the other states on the ground that it was unavoidable in extreme situation. I can say it is indefensible in Gujarat, which is not reeling under Islamic terrorism, no matter what Modi may claim. Yet, the Gujarati voter is unlikely to make such fine distinctions.

[kabira]

yeah but you said 80% muslim majority seat?? Which one is that?

[Guest dada_rocks]

urban I guess.. see it talks about panchayat election victory in that 80% story so the assembly election composition may not be 80% but certainly it has large percentage of muslim population.. BTW was just talking to my uncle a doctor in Godhara he was surprised over BJP's defeat there in Godhara.. even where they lost they have quite a following..
