One of the most accurate articles I have ever read. Please ask Shekhar Gupta to read this. He stated Muslims don’t vote for BJP; well I thought he was incorrect on this one. The Muslim community in India, has one of the worst Stockholm syndrome I have ever come across. They have been made to feel guilty though they have done nothing wrong. And then they try to right an imaginary wrong by voting for BJP. Western Government owned media in the USA has also spread anti muslim propaganda for decades now. Hats off to Muslims for just waking up every morning, and reporting to work despite having a tidal wave of nastiness thrown at them by the media, colleagues whose FB posts they have to read and lunch time tirades they have to listen to, friends, everyone !!
Bias Media reporting but the truth is only one. Now the time has arrived and we need to root out these so called liberals who are always behind the provocation and always hide themselves. This time also all media including foreign media is pointing towards Kapil Mishra. Why nobody is pointing towards this so called liberals who are the real culprit and need to be tackled with iron rod. Jai HInd!
Both hindus and muslims died in the riots and you make a point to quote only muslim deaths. Shame on you! There is no reference to the AAP leader who has been arrested with evidence but you quote Altaf and make a point to quote his hindu neibour who hasld a criminal past.
Quoting academice evidence of similar attacks worldwide to make your point that outsiders were not involved falls flat. How do you know that ? There is active investigation underway? Do you have more information than the CM of Delhi.
Why don’t you cite another academic source to prove your point rather than just blabbering? Or it might be that you are not educated enough to understand what academic sources mean and your reference will be from reputed whatsapp university and not oxford, cambridge etc.
Not just the victims, the politicians and the media know the attackers. The beauty is that none is willing to support a method of identifying an individual. The will only support multiple identity methods so only a suitable identity is displayed when the chips are down. Everyone who delayed the resolution of Shaeen Baug as per the law of this land is responsible for the Delhi riots. This is no different than the hijack drama and holding people to ransom, we don’t want to accept it, them we pay the price by 38 lives.
Wonderful language and theorizing the riots is after all livelihood from some.
Unflinching analysis of the Gujarat pogrom!
Most victims KNEW attackers
