Then why did you reply to my post which was indeed addressed to Mr.Ace ?
You "liked" the part which says Akshardham Temple attacks were a direct response to post-Gujarat riots but find it communal and offensive when some one asks what about Rightwingers who say post-Gujarat riots were a direct reaction to Godhra train carnage. What twisted/self-contradictory/self-serving logic !!!
Why should I come to NE in the first place ?
About Mr Karthick - Hi Sir/ Madam/ "it" ... I don;t know who you are and what you do, but making passionate statements about Tamils or Hindus in several posts indicate that you are a man of passion, a man with access to a computer and the internet (an IT guy?), a man who lives in TamilNadu and possibly a Hindu Brahmin tamil. How am I doing so far?
Now about my background, which you or Mr Param had asked for in some other thread, - I have lived in 5 cities in India - in four "corners" of India. I have also lived in Europe for some time and am presently in the USA for several years. I am "highly" educated as they say, with several University degrees from different countries - if you know what I mean. I work as a scientist in a well known company, whose invention you ALL use everyday knowingly or unknowingly. I am a "liberal", atheist, tolerant of pretty much everyone except for extremely intolerant people (like you). So, that's me ...
Now, about my "comment" on Post-Godhra riots (or "Post-Gujarat" riots, which may have been a mis-typing, but considering Gujarat was the home-state of Gandhi-ji and now that of Modi and ilk, I kind of like the "Post-Gujarat" term - shows that the old tolerant Gujarat is past). I did not say that the Post-Godhra riots "justify" the Akshardham killings - far from it. I do not believe that "an eye for an eye" is the right answer. On the contrary, I firmly believe that you should not look for an eye for an eye. You should either forgive and forget the person who blinded you (say by accident) and take precautions that such things do not happen again or search and destroy the person AND the root cause of his causing you harm (if it was deliberate and planned) to make sure that it does not happen again.
Now, after such lengthy diatribe, let's take a breath and see what is going on here ...
Godhra train burnings of Hindu Kar Sevaks were a horrible, inhuman, genocidal affront. The people who did it should be hunted down and punished by the state - how is THAT going in Modi era by the way? Not that I like the frenzied passions of the Kar Sevaks, who I think are rabble roused by BJP/ RSS. However, the people who attacked and killed them are not fit to be called human beings - IMO. They are like rabid dogs and should be treated as such.
However, BJP/ RSS organizing another genocide of unrelated muslims was not the correct response. "An eye for an eye"? Whose eye and for what? Most people killed in the carnage in this case were women, children and old people, innocent of the carnage in Godhra station.
So, the muslim fundamentalists retaliated by killing innocents in Akshardham - surely the BJP should have seen THAT coming? Hey, after all they (BJP/ RSS and other Hindu fundamentalists) and their arch enemies (muslim fundamentalists) think alike!
