My comments were specifically towards the following lines that Dilip wrote:<BR/><BR/>'The hatreds live on, expressing themselves in more killing every now and then. <BR/><BR/>In other words: like his politics or not, this is the legacy of this man too. His spurring of passions for political gain took us unerringly into great bloodshed; made hatred and prejudice acceptable.'<BR/><BR/>Holding Advani solely responsible for communal hatred is too much was what I am reiterating. Hence the list given in my post. Dilip and the rest of you need to wonder and ask the same question. How could a structure that was in dispute since the early part of the century become a big issue more than half a century later?<BR/>If the Muslim leadership had not chosen confrontation, could not most of the problems been avoided and Advani's Rath yatra stalled permanently?<BR/>Would welcome any response to the post.

Hello Dilip, have you forgotten Jinnah and partition and the hatred that catastrophe caused the country or the other riots that occurred much before the temple agitation. What about Muslim seperatness that was cultivated by Nehru and the Sikh riots?<BR/>What about the Muslim backlash during the Shah Bano verdict? I have never been a fan of BJP politics but to say that the temple agitation is the sole cause of Hindu Muslim hatred and should be the reason for any riots thereafter is going too far.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070362.post-1118484821904380302005-06-11T15:43:00.000+05:302005-06-11T15:43:00.000+05:30Whoophy...two more for head-nodders club: R and Vi...Whoophy...two more for head-nodders club: R and Vishnu<BR/>V(hic)Rum missing here :-(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070362.post-1118476219643584482005-06-11T13:20:00.000+05:302005-06-11T13:20:00.000+05:30good stuffgood stuff.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18121509578040313400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070362.post-1118468734547811302005-06-11T11:15:00.000+05:302005-06-11T11:15:00.000+05:30What a gem of a quote.
