Riot regularities

THERE is a lot of noise these days about the screening of Parzania in Gujarat. What happened to the Mody family and others in Naroda Patiya is certainly bad. But such things happen to everybody during riots. Many were badly affected by the Mumbai blasts as well. Also, during the discussions on Parzania, why do we forget the 58 burnt alive in Godhra? Many in that tragedy may have lost their fathers, mothers, sons or brothers, but following our sick-ular principles we easily forgot their names. Why such discrimination?

Film also Godhra

I WHOLEHEARTEDLY support the letters to you by M. Ratan, A.K. Sharma and Abhishek Chaudhari and detest the comments by Dara Mody in his article, ‘Parzania was a thin thread...’ and by the frustrated Rahul Dholakia in ‘Why is this family left to fend...’ (IE, February 9). Dholakia does not know the spirit of the Hindus and of the Gujarati Hindus as claimed. He is only concerned about his film. Through Parzania, I am afraid Dholakia wants to provoke communal disharmony in Gujarat, and he is using one Mody to meet his detestable desire against Narendra Modi and the peace-loving people of the state. Let him make a film on the 56 burnt to death alive in that coach in Godhra.

Hearty congratulations to Konakkupakkattil Gopinathan Balakrishnan for his new appointment as Chief Justice of India. But one point is mystifying: Why is everyone talking about his being a Dalit? We claim to be a secular country. The man should be known for his deeds and not for his caste. He himself says, “People from all communities helped me throughout my career, though I can’t say that I did not have my share of problems. But I learnt early to take things sportingly - that was the only way to overcome it.”

And the part not published

This type of propaganda can raise question on the honesty of the Supreme Court, may force any so called Upper caste person about the right ness of justice or any "dalit" about getting some extra benefits. Both are dangerous to Nation, So please stop this utter nonsense.
