- Quite a few people on this newsgroup seem to be under the
- impression that Muslims in India are the victims of violence
- and aggression - as if murderous hindu gangs roam around the
- country killing and raping.
- Atleast in one city I have sufficient information to refute
- this. In Bhopal , as soon as Babri masjid fell down , muslim
- rogues started rampaging th area. Lots of trains were stoped
- Hindus were pulled out and killed . Lots of hindus were killed
- maimed,burnt and raped in the very first days. Unofficial figures
- put the toll at 200-250. All this happenned in a BJP govt state.
-
- Soon hindu committees were formed to protect the mohallas and
- colonies from the onslaughts and police etc was pressed into action
- by the govt. Most muslims died fighting the police. Clearly
- our secular Congress Govt cannot tolerate muslim deaths. The BJP
- govt was dismissed.
-
- Bhopal still has a night time curfew in outer areas also - let alone
- th inner city.
