I am sorry that it went the way it went through. I sincerely did not mean that K.Ram wants to generate hatred.
What i wanted to say is that sometimes when people like me talk about reconciliation or friendship then it is seen as weakness or apologists attitude, so in that spirit I said that maybe you dont accept my position of trying to find common ground and most importantly not all muslims are islamists or who have hatred in there mind and similarly in the same spirit i want to say that a community that too by mob cannot kill people who are presumed to be guilty.
I sincerely understand the problem that there are people who themselves dont believe in non-violence or secularism or liberalism and sincerely speaking are ones who create hatred and so i say i will resist it and not accept it. I will not drum up about non-violence. And put the method in a different perspective.
According to me our enemy is hatred that islamists are generating. So hatred has to be resisted. We will not give in to hatred. Like gandhi said to british rule that i will not accept your rules and laws. I will break them and keep breaking those laws till you dont go away. Similarly I will keep working against islamic theological hatred whatever be it and keep breaking all the laws like Muslims Personal law or shariah law or triple talaq or woman's issue inside islam. Against the concept of dar-ul-islam, concept of kafir and concept of violence. I will keep working against the most brutal method of theology which works on the concept of fear, retaliation and retribution.
My method will be peaceful , no rioting or killing. We cannot kill innocent people. Killing of innocent people justifies no cause. The cause and the means both have to be correct and justified, but i will work against islamists and there hatred world.
As regards the godhra massacre. It is a henious crime and i will not say that it is just reactionary. but an eye to an eye will make the world blind. It will just create more godhra and gujrat nothing more. Finally somebody will win but in the process you will change yourself.
And yes my response to riots is restricted to the knowledge that i have about them. I do know about the 1969 ahmedabad riots and the muslim gheetos in ahmedabad. And my rage towards kashmiri pandits is and always will be there, until and unless they get back to the valley it will not be gone.
