My dear Vedavati,When you say "modi  does not 'reserve' seats  instead he
talks about '5 crore gujratis (including bc/obcs/muslims)' . he does not
equate soharabuddin & common muslims, hence he does not hesitate to take
stern action against the former because he knows that will not hurt muslim
sentiments anyway." I don't think there are any sentiments left after brutal
rape, violence and torture. When the soul is killed and when you have to
live in duress under a 'secular rule' where each day you are reminded that
you 'are Muslim' (irrespective of whether that is your primary identity or
not), you think there can be any sentiment or voice left? What do you have
to say to the fact that all 'Muslims' who participated in the 1992-93 riots
in Bombay were punished by the judiciary but no action was taken against the
'Hindus' who committed violences because Maharashtra government under amoeba
Deshmukh felt that doing so will result in mass violence? I am sure this is
a very peaceful and secular state to be in,one where even when there are no
sentiments, they are assumed to be aligned.
In peace,
Zainab (gujju ben)
