Godhra - Wither goes thou?

There was a tragedy. A complete compartment got burned. People died. OR

There was a conspiracy. A bogie was meticulously burned and its passengers killed.

Be it either ways. What should a government do? Try and get the situation under control, immediately, using all the available resources. Using all available resources, find the cause of the incident. If it is a tragedy, provide succor to the bereaved. If it was a conspiracy, hunt down the accused and put them on trial.

What did actually happen? And therein lies the tragedy. All your short-sighted comments about Hindu vs Muslim, population control, nazism, pseudo-secularism and what nots look eerily like a well oiled plan to not discuss the real issue at all.

You can fool some people all the time, all the people some time but not all the people all the time.

The truth must come out and fortunately, it will. Inspite of false figures, inspite of SIMI, inspite of pseudo secularists, inspite of RSS, "inspite of" all the machinery available to the authorities to find the truth, inspite of NGOs, inspite of everything.

Change is ever constant

Today, my daughter started to cycle. I could sense in her the joy of mastering a new activity. As long as she struggled, it was a pain for both her and I. Then when she came to grips with it, the joy surged through her and she wanted to go full throttle through the colony lanes! But of course, she had not mastered it. She was only still learning!!

That is how it is with all activities. The initial times are very discouraging. Our spirit screams out, "Do we really need to do this? Can't we skip this?" The typical response to change is to maintain the status quo. Then when the new idea percolates down to the epidermal layer of our brain, the receptacle of our senses opens up. Their is more openness and when we fully master it, there is abounding joy at having mastered the subject.
