"I have seen several people suggest that they are 'ashamed to be Hindu' or 'ashamed to be Indian'. This is ridiculous: if you are ashamed to be a Hindu because of what happened in Godhra and Gujarat, then you were not a Hindu to begin with. For, otherwise you would be sharing the pain of Hindu pilgrims being burnt alive. Do not blame the religion for your own frailty, lack of self-confidence. In contrast, not a single Muslim (including famous bleeding heart Shabana Azmi) said he/she was 'ashamed to be a Muslim' because of 9/11 or Godhra. All they said was that the attacks were un-Islamic. "

Bravo Rajeev!! You nailed it.

"General Dyer shot down hundreds of unarmed Indians gathered for a freedom rally on April 13, 1919, at Jallianwallah Bagh. Has any British prime minister ever dubbed that sadistic act as a stigma on His or Her Majesty's government? "

"Communist China's brutality against the youth agitating for their rights at the Tiananmen Square over a decade ago is a dark page in recent world history. Yet no Chinese leader has ever described that brutality as a blot on the nation. "

And here, the trojan horses and so called Hindus are in a race to prove who's more ashamed! Yuck!

Whether it is Amarnath Yatra or (Ayodhya yatra)Godhara, Hindus piligrims are attacked.

There was no retaliation or reaction for attack on Amarnath Yatra piligrims (neither it was desirable) BUT did Shabana Azmi and the other `intelligensia' even shed a single tear????? or condemn it. Their silence and hyprocrisy is to blame for killings in Gujarat. NOBODY ELSE.

Had they spoken up or being just not pseudo-secularists, Hindu anger would not have been displayed in Gujarat.......

I cant believe why you people are comparing our great religion with others. It was always known that Islam preached the concepts which ultimately lead to intolerance and besides Islam beseeches that you do not say 'anything' against the religion. It is considered sacriledge to denounce the Religion and all Muslims adhere strictly to that.
But Hinduism is a peaceful ever-widening all-embracing religion,not the type you Hindu militants on this forum seem to promote...Please desist from such comparisions but all remember that yes Hindus need to retailiate! but niot the way it is being done by raping and killing women and children of the opposite community..

Only if the Opposite community would desist from acts such as Godhra, there would not be any after-effects at all.

So please, take your advise to the opposite side.

Ramesh, when women and children are being burnt, you suggest me some ways to retaliate.

Have you ever tried to retalliate or you live in one of those posh localities where you are more worried of traffic disruption and cable outage than worrying of those Hindus who die every day , those Hindu girls who are forced to marry Muslims or are raped in front of their parents or those Hindus who become homeless are attacked with Acid.

Have you ever worried about 500,000 Hindu kashmiris who have to beg and labour to feed themselves. No body is giving them 100,000 although they have lost everything.

Don't preach what Hindu should or should not do unless you are ready to come to Gujrat and fight our war.
