[Reader-list] gujrat election

[Vetrivel Adhimoolam]

That's correct Zainab.

There is another increasing trend here. Because of the crude application of 
the Western capitalist liberal democracy to countries like India, we see 
miss use or rather abuse of terms like majoritarianism to trash the 
undeniable historical happenings.

Dear Pawan,Did you say 'peaceful' and secure state to Gujaratis? Who are
these Gujaratis? I am certain that the Gujarati Muslims of Gujarat are as
Gujarati as the 'Hindus' that you keep referring to are Gujaratis. Perhaps
you should be a bit specific on who these Gujaratis are? I am sure it must
be a very peaceful time for Gujaratis post March and April 2002, and that
voting under duress is as peaceful as blood pressure and hypertension.
I am also waiting for Modi in Delhi. Perhaps then we can witness a peaceful
repeat of some events of 1983, this time in the name of an Akhand Gujarat.
Jai bharat, Jai Gujarat, Jai Modi, Jai Pawan putra,
Yours truly,
Zainab (gujju ben)
