Gujarat vis a vis Godhara Train Carnage

BEING A TRUE INDIAN FIRST & BEING A GUJARATI, FROM THE CORE OF MY HEART,  I AM WRITING DOWN ON THIS MATTER.

IT GIVES ME IN IMMENSE PLEASURE IN WRITING DOWN ABOUT BEING GUJARATI AND SIMULTANEOUSLY IT GIVES ME IMMENSE PAIN ABOUT THE APATHY OF THE ENTIRE WORLD MEDIA IN SLAMMING GUJARAT ABOUT ‘2002.

PLS NOTE THAT EVEN I DON’T AGREE WITH WHAT HAD HAPPENED TO MUSLIMS, AFTER SABARMATI TRAIN INCIDENT. EVEN I DIDN’T APPROVE THAT. BUT SIMILARLLY CAN ANYONE APPROVE TO WHAT HAD HAPPENED TO 72 KARSEVAKS IN FATEFULL SABARMATI TRAIN, ON THAT PARTICULAR DAY?

LEAVE ASIDE A CONSPIRACY THEORY, PROMOTED BY BJP FOR A MINUTE, WHICH REALLY SEEMS TRUE.

BUT, SAY FOR A MINUTE, DISCUSS WHAT CONGRESS & ALL OTHER, INCLUDING USA, IS PROMOTING A THEORY OF “INSTANT” REACTION OF A MUSLIM, WHO WAS SERVING SOME FOOD/TEA THE STATION, WHERE HE WAS SUPPOSEDLY ABUSED BY HINDU KARSEVAKS.

SAY, IF IT HAD HAPPENED, THEN DID IT GIVE THEM [MUSLIMS LEAVING NEARBY] RIGHT TO TORCH THE ENTIRE COACH OF THE TRAIN, WHERE 72 PEOPLE - HINDU KARSEVAKS DIED????

AS PER MY VIEWPOINT, IF THAT IS WHAT CONGRESS / OTHERS ARE PROPAGATING, THEN THEY THEMSELVES ARE APPROVING FOR WHAT HAPPENED AFTERWARDS? AS THEY THEMSELVES ARE SAYING THAT “EVERY ACTION HAS EQUAL REACTION”. ISN’T IT?

AND, WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE THEORY, PROPAGATED BY BJP, OF DEEP ROOTED CONSPIRACY TO TORCH THE COACH OF TRAIN, WHICH LOOKS MORE POSSIBLE, THEN DO YOU THINK THAT WE, AS AN INDIAN WILL LEAVE PAKISTAN, IF THEY KILL OUR SOLDIERS AT BORDER W/O ANY REASON / PROVOCATION? WHAT OUR ARMY SHALL DO? WITHOUT ANY TRACE OF DOUBT, OUR ARMY SHOULD RETALIATE. THEN, WHY THESE DOUBLE STANDARDS?????

NOW, SAY IT HAD HAPPENED IN A FIT OF  MOMENT. BUT WHY TO PURSUE THE MATTER, ONLY FOR MUSLIMS? WHY NOT FOR KARSEVAKS, WHO HAD DIED IN FATEFUL COACH? WHY EVERYONE IS FORGIVING, FOR THEIR OWN CONVENIENCE, TO TALK ABOUT BURNING OF TRAIN AND ONLY REMEMBERS SUBSEQUENT RIOTS???

MY ONLY POINT IS THAT THERE SHOULD NOT BE 2 YARDSTICKS, FOR THE SAME MATTER. IF YOU CONDEMN THE SUBSEQUENT RIOTS, YOU SHOULD EQUALLY CONDEMN THE BURNING OF TRAIN INCIDENT, WHICH WAS THE MAIN CULPRIT FOR SUBSEQUENT RIOTS. SO, AS A RESPONSIBLE CITIZEN, THINK NEUTRALLY WITH THE LEVEL HEAD, THEN THINGS WILL BECOME CLEAR, ITSELF.

SO, I PERSONALLY CONDEMN BOTH THE INCIDENTS. NEITHER SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED. AS NOBODY, I REPEAT NOBODY, NEITHER HINDU / MUSLIM, IS GOING TO GAIN ANYTHING FROM SUCH INCIDENTS.
