I am filled with unexplainable emotions after reading this investigation report by tehelka on Gujarat riots that happened in 2002. What is most shocking is the cold bloodiness and the lack of remorse in the minds of the accused even after 5 years. There is a saying in tamil - "Arasan andru kolvan. Deivam nindru kollum". Here the ruler and ruling body have committed the crime. Will at least God, in the name of whom everything has happened, provide justice?
Frontline had an article about the witnesses or rather the survivors of the massacre. One who has committed the crime is fearless while the other who has suffered doesn't get the courage to tell the truth. Ironically equality and justice are the defining principles of our constitution.
This also reminded me of the serial bomb blasts and the riots that followed in Coimbatore(or kovai), my home town. A very peaceful and industrial city took a long time to gain back normalcy. Very recently those who were accused have been sentenced. I only wish that truth prevailed and everyone who commited the sin of harming another human being, irrespective of which religion they belong to, have been punished.

I totally agree da. I cant even get myself to read it fully. But it is very sad and frightening to see how justice is not getting served because the majority thinks it is a just response.
hmm..looks like u r aping nagas or the other way around..
justice is not getting served?? what's new? i gave up trying to understand how these things work..
anyway..here is what you said in naga's blog:

now go see if you've replied to 3 awesome comments in remix or rubbish...nonsens
catch, I told naga about this article and in the time i was in gym he finished writing about it in his blog and it was up in 1st page of google for "tehelka":) I still wanted to put in my thoughts and make the 2 common readers (50% of my readers) read it twice:).
I did make those changes that you guys suggested. I shall post my comments more often.
Dude, Speed to market is as important as the product itself.
But look the volatility of public attention. A week after the news broke out, there is not even a single word about it in the press. People have moved on to more pressing matters like Dhoni's new hairstyle and the chick he is dating.
i agree on the volatility bit..i remember the chandra levy issue a while back..it was in the media only because her parents decided to call a press conference every week and also rallied enough to get the search going for a while but even that last only a few months..and the congressman involved in all of it got away..
your blog's the same way too..if you really want to sustain it, keep posting once a day..
