Secularism is a menace used to create a divide within our democracy. It has become a battelfield for political manipulation and for injecting communalism into the community that left to itself has always remained in harmony. Again using label of minority & majority is a sheer political strategy for garnering vote and engineering discord and disharmony among the people.
The upheavals of communal riots and the carnage it lives behind are the toll tax that the common man pays for up keeping the political systems of our democracy that thrive on a divide & rule policy.
The plight, anguish and misery of riot victims and their family members are kept alive for decades in the form of judicial inquires. These inquires seldom probe the truth, yet pretend to give hope for punishing the real perpetrators of the carnage. Be it 1984 anti- Sikh riots in Delhi, be it Godhra train burning or be it Gujrat riots of 2002, no truth has ever emerged inspite of long drawn judiciary process and high level governmental probes. This is so because evidences and witnesses that are presented are based on political climate and political clout therefore the truth never unfolds. It remains buried under human debris that these riots live behind.
The supreme court has passed an order today turning down the allegation of inaction of the CM to contain the year 2002 Gujarat riots.This is a shot in the arm for Chief Ministers of all states. It can be seen as the mantra that can absolve the chief Ministers from the responsibility of containing riots in their states and give them the freedom to 'fiddle on the roof' while their cities burn.
We can blame God for all the natural calamities but we can never nail the politicians for their heinous crime against humanity because God doesn't but politicians do play GOD and in Gujarat Modi is"God"...
