0.0 wants to publish his (?) Thinking Person credentials. Bubba, are you from Gujarat? Did you have to conduct your pregnant wife through hostile "them" areas in an ambulance, (after a night's hazardous journey in a train journey all for a futile-but-necessary-to-this-secular-country's-all-important-Government's purpose) still under curfew two months after the initial four days' fires because the secularists were encouraging revenge and spreading venom? Have you ever passed through a hostile mob of LACS out on the road, praying for your life and have a large rock chucked at your window of the bus you are traveling in and this TWO years before the carnage and at the smallest pretext? Have you ever seen the police presence there during an India-Pakistan match? Have you ever bumped a bicycle wheel on Relief Road and managed to get away unscathed?

HAVE-YOU-EVER-FELT-THE-HATE-IN-THE-AIR???

And then having to bear a bastardized English media and prudes like you who can't tell their right from left, who call us mass criminals. Why, my brother, is it that although the majority outnumbers the minority by 4:1, the ratio of deaths in riots is nearly equal? Have you ever stepped out of your metrosexual mentality (or your metro) to see fashions in children's names and adult's grooming change from local to Arab over just five years? Have you heard the names of the places now called Mini Pakistan, whether in Mumbai or Ahmedabad, and ever wondered why?

Did you ever see the difference between Chiman Patel's and Keshu Patel's governments? And did you ever see the difference that Narendra Modi made to the administration and corrections to Keshu Patel's treasurehouse of misjudgements? Do you know what the name Santok Jadeja meant during Chiman Patel's rule, apart from what you learnt through Godmother? Have you EVER seen a car bearing the name KARAN in huge letters speeding around Race Course and understood what it means to be rid of it, that you talk of people being fed up with the past administration? Wnat DO you know, by the way, apart from the depth of and the grime in your own navel?

I AM leading my own sweet life, however misguided it may seem to you. I don't need your encouragement, admonition or indifference. I am sure nobody else does, either. So go finish your self-important book, if you can hang on to a thought that manages to bear a semblance to integrity while successfully hiding your prudishness and pretence.

Why acknowledge my blog? You can keep your opinion to yourself, if you don't like me expressing mine, and keep on grabbing at straws in the wind elsewhere.

Go get a reality check. There are good people and bad, in every country, community, caste and even a family. They will churn, they may even burn. A lot of wheat may be thrown out with the chaff. THAT is life. It never did, doesn't now, and never will need your holier than thou attitude.

Whatever happened was unfortunate, wrong, unpardonable. But was it inhuman? Was it the first instance of such an event in human history? So get a better yardstick.
