I work for a news channel, Its shocking to see that the truth is too different then what you have mentioned. <BR/><BR/>Firstly, The Godhra Issue, muslims suffered more and much more. It is proved that the Hindutva played a bigger hand in it. <BR/><BR/>Second: Bombay riots was again proved to be mainly a 50:50 stand. Muslims where again hit badly. We have teh proofs. <BR/><BR/>Muslims follow a religion thats too different than hinduism. Infact Islam Christianity, Jew have some BASE. Hinduism has not..... <BR/><BR/>What happened in post-independence was again hit both sides. <BR/><BR/>So please be aware and know whats happening around.<BR/><BR/>You seem to be learned, so make use of your knowledge.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9917432.post-1133170830406760862005-11-28T15:10:00.000+05:302005-11-28T15:10:00.000+05:30The reverse is also true.

Try getting a house in Muslim areas of town. <BR/><BR/>Recently I rented a place in Channai and the stupid owner forced a jesus' temple within the house. To add to our pain and electricity bill he organizes a worship ceremony every friday, all on our rented premises and on our cost.<BR/><BR/>Hindus are much more tolerant than Muslims or Catholic Christians. Try staying in Bangladesh or Pakistan. Not only you will be a second class citizen with constant force to convert, your life will be perpetually in danger. <BR/><BR/>We allow Irfan Pathan's and Azharuddin's (despite taking bribes) in lead positions because it is truly a secular country. However don't expect people to instantly forget the post-independence massacare, the Godhra train burning and Mumbai riots. <BR/>What do you expect? Do you expect to welcome them with open arms so they can turn against us in times of danger and kill us? Sorry, that's not happening.<BR/>Muslims in India have to prove their loyalty to the country before all doors are open to them. Their rabid religious principles and their followers do not make it easy for other religions to accept them. Do you ever wonder why 100% terrorists are Muslim?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9917432.post-1133004027428451192005-11-26T16:50:00.000+05:302005-11-26T16:50:00.000+05:30an illogical comparision by soumyadip regardin the...an illogical comparision by soumyadip regardin the order of the color on da national flag.. good way to create rumours or add fuel to da fire and do a dis-serivce to the sensitive minds of da readers. this is called drawing a seemingly illogical conclusion from an incompatible comparision.

Every where, even at workplaces Muslims are taunted and time and again have to prove their 'Indianess.' Take for instance Indo-Pak cricket matches. It is a foregone conclusion in the minds of the citizens of the 'Hindu Rashtra' that 12% of the country's population will invariably support Mush's Boys. And when one encounters a Muslim India supporter, he is looked at with cynicism. Match fixing - it is them who are always the usual suspects. It leads me to suspect the hidden motive behind the order of colours on the national flag.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13441809988487585009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9917432.post-1132713440426784842005-11-23T08:07:00.000+05:302005-11-23T08:07:00.000+05:30Interesting post.

Admittedly, I'm a newbie to this city and I don't know the complexities of the social fabric that binds it together. Its just that I found the entire thing rather hipocritical. Here I am with people telling me how urbane, civilised and great Mumbai is (better than Delhi I'm told) and then you hear and observe things like this. Just point out the irony in it all.Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06885651813993966354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9917432.post-1132664123810255202005-11-22T18:25:00.000+05:302005-11-22T18:25:00.000+05:30i guess freedom of choice for everyone..

We all face it everyday in some form coz its easy for others and ourselves to do criticism. Its like talkin abt the tip of the iceberg. Such issues need sensitive, empathetic and deeper understanding to write about. Again, its your choice.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13441809988487585009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9917432.post-1132643920106064772005-11-22T12:48:00.000+05:302005-11-22T12:48:00.000+05:30As long as the money comes on time, most landlords...As long as the money comes on time, most landlords shouldn't have a problem. I understand that some guys freak out if 'non-veg' is made or their bed is soiled by two unmarried people having sex, but most landlords don't. However, I've never looked for a house in Delhi, so my stories of them are all hearsay.Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06885651813993966354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9917432.post-1132603570460202822005-11-22T01:36:00.000+05:302005-11-22T01:36:00.000+05:30Years ago, I was helping an ex-boyfriend find an a...Years ago, I was helping an ex-boyfriend find an apartment in Delhi. He's Muslim, and I made it a point to tell prospective landlords upfront about his religion. I must have contacted more than a dozen persons, and the only one who refused to rent to him was this posh, English-speaking housewife from Defence Colony. <BR/><BR/>One of my other friends, a life-long RSS supporter, had absolutely no problems renting out his apartment to him. Just goes to show how appearances can be so deceptive.<BR/><BR/>So the Communists have come around on Iran?
